So many tales about JG on Corrie being a harridan diva rude ruthless obnoxious a demanding demanding diva on Coronation Street (soap she featured on) that i never believed. Just thought it was tabloid exaggeration. Can believe them now.

Rumour has it she was so nasty she made Bill Tarmy cry repeatedly (Jack Duckworth) when their fling was over apparently.

And when she made her big return she made life hell for the younger cast who didnt revere her enough.

I've never liked her, everytime a 'return' rumour crops up, I dread her coming back

She will never come back, they cut her last return short because of her attitude

Well that and she couldnt handle the pressure (she expected to be waited on hand and foot like the old day)

There's no smoke without fire as they say,Julie Goodyear is too full of her own importance to ever be a nice person,a truly foul woman all round,she doesn't get the reputation she has for no reason,it's beyond me what some people find nice about her.

[Nedusa]

No one person is bigger than the show, she should have been warned about her behaviour and then threatened with her character being "killed off". It that didn't do the trick then sadly I see Bet Lynch dying a horrible death in botched armed robbery on the Rovers Return....!!!

[alex_front2]

CS is now a different show. Its now 100% plot driven. Big iconic characters like Bet Lynch are from a bygone era. Its about iconic SLs now.

The characters now are mere conduits to affairs explosions pregnancy rivalry and alcholicism. Characters are now safe identikit interchangeable and generic. When Kym Marsh (Michelle) fell preggers they gave the Frank Foster almost rape SL to Samia Ghadie's character (forgotten name). Both characters were samey. You couldn't really have hand over a Bet Lync storyline so easily. Bet was idiosyncratic.

They can recast characters now who been on show for a while as the characters are bland and forgettable. They could never recast Bet even if JG been on show for a week. I am no fan of JG or even Corrie but Bet was an iconic role.

Actors now get little rehearsal time, film for 4 - 5 eps and despite good salaries are no longer treated like stars. Free foods been cut. They pay for parking. JG would hate not being treated like a huge star. The show has changed. There is no place for Julie or Bet.

I'm just so disappointed... as a child I remember watching bet lynch, she was bold and brassy but was as I recall inherantly good. A huge hearted, positive, fair minded and assertive character a REAL role model for young women.
To see her 'alter (huge) ego julie goodyear is this foul mouthed, unfair,pig headed, two faced old woman is very sad.

Yeah, it's a shame the actor isnt quite like the character in this case.

I heard she eats babies as well & pushes old ladies down stairs...

I have read just as many nasty stories about The Nolan's, are they true? How will we ever know?? I have read plenty of stories about Julie Goodyear saying what a lovely person she is, from ex cast members & crew that worked on Corrie & even on Twitter she had Corrie crew members supporting her while she was in the house...

Everyone has people they don't get on with/don't like at work, it doesn't mean they are the devil incarnate

And by the way it was down to her ill health that her last Corrie appearance was cut short, but don't let that get in the way of your 'facts' eh...

I heard that too Because ... well ... yeah .. you know ...... I believe everything in the media, regardless I mean who could disbelieve anything the Mail especially prints how dare they not! After all, The Sitch was evicted was he not, and even had a few things to say about it according to The Daily Star online, so he is not in that house anymore, no siree someone is impersonating him

I don't read the tabloids - whatever their political slant. I formed my opinions from hearing what colleagues had to say about working with her. She may have pulled the wool over a couple of cronies to prompt them to defend her on twitter but, on the whole, she's notorious in the business for being a demanding diva.

Well people seem to believe the negative stories about Coleen,I have seen several posts saying how they dont like her due to outside influences,as lets face it she has been ok in the house I haven't seen anything terrible from her,so people only believe what suits I reckon,well the same must be said about Julie,difference with Julie we have actually seen people say it ,it's not just the press stories!!

Did you ever watch the BB Carole Malone was in, she isn't considered the nicest of people if you choose to believe all you read She was evicted second in that series. Entry from Wikipedia below:

___________________

Day 9 - Nomination: The first round of nominations took place with Dirk and Leo up for eviction, they were joined by Carole as punishment for discussing nominations.

Punishments: Carole faced the vote automatically after it was revealed that Cleo and she had discussed nominations, the housemates were instructed to choose one of the pair to face the public vote.

Day 10 - Exits: Leo Sayer voluntarily left the House. He left the House by smashing the glass tube on the garden fire door barging through the camera run and through another door. He proceeded to argue with security officers and programme producers before finally being granted his wish not to return.

Carole was evicted with 77.4% of the vote[43]

That's what I heard, she wasn't well enough to cope with the filming schedule, which was heavier than when she was originally in the show.

But all the diva rumours will be true, you can see she's a diva a mile off. She'd probably admit to it, she just likes playing soft old "nana" and legend in public.

Shame for her that we saw everything when she was in the house, she must have thought BB would only show her nice moments and then got all defensive when her hypocrisy was unveiled.

Hi Marsh, That's the point though, we didn't see everything. How many times have we heard an evicted housemate from BBs say oh, I thought you would have see that, or ... but so and so was so funny, witty, have you not been seeing that side, and so on ..... Jay shi**ing in the freezer? was hushed up until it was blurted out and then confirmed by ex housemates of that series. See, we don't have the live feed, only highly edited clips that can sometimes misconstrue what we see on the miniscule bits we are shown, or by silly twitter tweets. So we have to go by what we do see, and I saw nothing that bad from Julie that she is villified so. They all have their good and bad points, well maybe apart from Cooleen and Harvey At the moment, I can't stand those two.

If she had not stirred it up it would have been a total bore without her. Coleen was a disaster.
I last saw Julie in a vehicle race in India 2004. It was absolutely hilarious and Caprice and Julie got on really well together. Julie of course used her usual method of getting everyone to do things for her and ruffled the male feathers when she arrived at the stops before them. Did she cheat, of course she did and every one knew she did. Did she win, no. Her taxi crashed and she was disqualified. Still very funny.

Good post. I'm from Ireland and believe me the tabloids here have printed many a nasty story about the Nolan sisters and there have been plenty of rumours about how nasty they can be. They are renowned for being gossips and back stabbers. Are all of them like that...some of them...none of them? I have no
idea. I've also read that they are nice. So who the hell knows? It's the same with Julie.

We can only go from what we have seen in the house. Julie was bitchy. Colleen was a pot stirrer. I thought Julie made for compulsive viewing and as CBB is for entertainment and she entertained me then that was great. Coleen bored the ass off me. They each have their good and bad points.
Julie didn't kill anyone, or hit anyone. She didn't make anyone cry. She didn't give anyone a breakdown. She was no better or worse than any of them - just different. She didn't behave as some people thought a 70 yr old should - but I just love elderly people who don't conform to the 'rules' and constraints that a younger society impose on them. Why the hell should they? You only live once and they haven't all the time in the world left.
I have to laugh at the nastiness of people as they describe Julie's 'nastiness'. Pot, kettle and all that.

The fact is, everyone is STILL talking about her and making threads about her. The interest in her is phenomenal!!! How many evicted HM's are still being talked about?
There is very little being said about those still IN the house. I wonder why? Now imagine this series without the wonderful Julie.... She gave people plenty to talk about, to be scandalized by, to get out all the stuff inside themselves. It was like therapy!
You should be grateful to the woman for not bringing in her knitting and smiling gently at everyone before snoozing off for most of the day - thank her for growing old disgracefully!

Julie is Bet but without the good bits.

Christ all this moaning an gossiping about JG like she's f'ing Hitler or something. Apparently she added value to CS for 25 years and, whether or not you supported her on CBB, she WAS the the talking point once we got past the Situation vs. Danica tedium. Even on BOTS she comes to play and is much more engaged than the rest of them have been. The show was better cause she was on it. Full stop.
