Julie Goodyear on bringing Bet Lynch back to Coronation Street

Julie Goodyear was interviewed on ITV's Loose Women today where she talked about bringing Bet Lynch back to Coronation Street in the new musical Street of Dreams.

As camp as Christmas and surrounded by three semi-naked young hunks, Julie made her apperance on the show in a sparkly top and trademark heavy eye liner. She always gives good telly!

Julie says the new Corrie musical will be a "10 star" show and she will be working with her old mate Paul O'Grady, who is the show's narrator.   There'll be West End dancers, a huge live orchestra, the houses from the Street will be on the stage and it'll cover the whole five decades of Corrie. 

Julie revealed that one of the songs she'll be singing in the musical as Bet will be called: "Nowt that a bit o' lippy wouldn't solve," which sounds wonderful.

Asked if she would be reappearing as Bet on Coronation Street on TV, Julie replied: "You never know!".

I know Phil Collinson steers clear of old characters returning, but it would go completely against the character of Bet if she didn't return for Betty's funeral... I don't want any return to overshadow Betty's send-off but she really needs to be there to say goodbye!

Be better if someone just read a telegram from her saying she is in hospital and can't make the funeral.
I can't see that her presence is required or even wanted by many fans of the programme.
I don't think her acting the Diva again is necessary.

I was always a big Bet fan but I have to agree, she thought she was bigger than everyone else and her last return was an embarrassment. Why does she have to return for the funeral, Digby didnt even go to his daughter, Mollys.
