Julie Goodyear in #CBB: Secret to come out?


Former Coronation Street star Julie Goodyear has hinted she might discuss some of her past conquests – male and female – while appearing on Celebrity Big Brother.
Ms Goodyear, 70, who is bisexual, told the Daily Star some of her former lovers include famous politicians and fellow Thespians.
The actress, who played Bet Lynch in Coronation Street for 25 years (with brief comebacks in 2002 and 2003), told the paper: “There are people in positions of power who came onto me. The things they wanted to do with me were unbelievable.
“I would get letters with locks of hair in them. Then when I read the letters I’d realise the hair wasn’t from their heads.”
Ms Goodyear is currently married to 44-year-old Scott Brand, who she met when he started a romantic vigil outside her home, lasting for days.
Speaking about her bisexuality, Goodyear said that it was as much a surprise to her as to anyone else.
She met a woman in a club shortly after divorcing her second husband and embarked on a relationship with her. She said: “We started going out. Our three-year relationship became like a marriage.”
She added that her “wild past” was exactly that and that these days, her 40-a-day cigarette habit was her only vice.

Nigel Havers 'Not To Be Killed Off'

Nigel Havers has reportedly put an end to speculation that he is leaving Coronation Street by signing a new contract.

The acclaimed actor, who plays ex-gigolo Lewis Archer on the ITV soap, was rumoured to be departing Weatherfield after he signed up for a pantomime.

A subsequent report in June claimed that Lewis would be killed off in a road accident, but Corrie producer Phil Collinson has since ruled out such a storyline in an interview with Digital Spy earlier this month.

Becky McDonald for one off return?


A lot of you emailed us in our tweet about Katherine Kelly making a one off return to the cobbles- well we agree with you! Do you think Katherine Kelly should make a short visit to the street- to see Hayley & Roy and her friends. We miss Becky as much as you do!

So, email us

Or tweet us about your thoughts

Should the Rovers be blown up?

As we saw, Digital Spy posted a story on the soaps section- allowing Corrie fans to think they should blow up the Rovers. Why they would start a rumour to blow up the UK's favourite pub, is beyond me.

Read http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a400560/coronation-street-should-the-rovers-be-blown-up-poll.html

They set up the story because some reason Digital Spy seem to have a problem with Coronation Street- and allow hate comments to be posted. I posted a comment saying 'Yes can not wait' and was removed by DS Control. Only negative comments have been approved on the post.
On all the EastEnders posts their are all 'Nice' comments. I tried to post it on both my accounts, akagken2 and corriefan. neither worked and was removed.

So- can we get some real replies?
From Corrie fans- which are trying to post nice things on the 'Should The Rovers be blown up' post on the DS Soaps section. 

Here are some emails we relived this evening


PaulInBloom202@hotmail.co.uk said

"No. Rovers shouldn't be blown up- and for one reason.
It's the nations favourite soap and everyone would stop watching the soap if they blew up such a memorable
pub!"

KatrinaLGraham1@googlemail.com said

"no. should it b*lls.
corrie is good entertainment and the rovers just makes corrie!,"


LouiseHoward5@yahoo said

"No way. Corrie wouldn't be the same without it. I love the soap and everytime the rovers comes on screen- its just like 'this is the corrie feeling' dont blow it up!"

We recieved over 40 Emails similar to ones like these.

We've been trying to figure out why DS won't remove the negative comments and allow the good ones.

Do you have an opinion?
