    Should be interesting. I like her in CS.

    Can't understand why Piers moved to the states, such a violent country. Oh wait, MONEY would be the answer:)

    Pleeeeze ... take him back! We in North America can't stand his nightly show, with his smug, narrow-minded attitude! He is one Brit I can't abide!

    Wow. "We in North America can't stand his nightly show." That's one helluva statement. Who is the "we" that you speak on behalf of? The entire continent of N.A.? Impressive. :-(

    Julie Goodyear! I am wearing a t-shirt with her and Alec Gilroy as I type this. Bette Lynch is a Corrie icon for sure. :-)

    Hmmmm...."narrow minded" is often, though to be fair not always, shorthand for "disagrees with my indefensible ideas".

    I've read her autobiography and it was so good I read it twice. she has had so much tragedy in her life. If it were a soap opera people would say it was Unrealistic. Mind you having seen her on Celebrity Big Brother she is also prone to highly exaggerating the truth. I do like her though. I hope someone puts it on youtube as i'm not in UK

    Well this Canadian cannot stand the man, either. Mr Morgan is a sniveling, patronizing and arrogant sod. I am surprised that any intelligent person actually watches his show. And narrow minded actually means "not receptive to new ideas; having a closed mind". Instead of debate he resorts to ridicule, which usually indicates he is unable to defend his own ideas.

    Morgan's a celebrity hack that host hack celebrities. He's also borderline criminal from his days as a Murdoch hand puppet. How he replaced Larry King is mind-boggling.

    I'm British and I can't stand Piers Morgan. How he's got as far as he has in the entertainment world is beyond me, there is just nothing likeable about the man.

    I don't watch his programme because I detest him, but I might have to steel myself when Julie Goodyear is on, as I love her. And I thought she was great in Celebrity Big Brother.

    Canadian here and also can't watch Life Stories, though I have had to cave in & watch a few with my fave actors. He does nothing but court controversy. Even when he asks a benign question, he immediately follows it with an embarrassing zinger. I'd hate to be interviewed by him.

    There seems to be a North American cultural bias for British villains. From Alexis on Dynasty down to Simon Cowell in everything. Perhaps meanness with a British accent somehow intellectualizes what are essentially petty, bad manners in the North American mind.
