According to the spoilers, Bet is set to make yet another return to Corrie in a week or so. Didn't the writers & producers learn anything from the fiasco when she came back a year ago?

Used to be a man? I thought Phyliss was returning from the dead for a moment.

The viewers won't put up with the diva attitude for too long. After a while it becomes grotesque.

Do you think it's just a coincidence that all her stuff is on location and she's being kept away from most of the regular cast?

No coincidence I think.

Her character is on a completely different planet now. They wouldn't dare let her loose on a serious storyline either.

I agree Mark. I can't see her being popular a second time.
People move on, there have been lots of strong characters behind the bar since, so she's lost her appeal.

I haven't heard, but is the Blackpool story line, just a spin-off or are they intending to thrust all these old characters back on us permanently?! I think they're making some miscalculated assumptions that we *want* them back. The great thing about Corrie is that it's comfortable and familiar, this just stirs it all up. Ahhh, silly me that's what they want of course! I'd forgotten it's the new improved, ridiculous story-line, Corrie.

Well I may be in the minority, but I will be glad if Bet does return, I have hardly watched Corrie since she left, she is a brilliant actress, and her humour behind the bar made the programme for me. As for her being a "diva" I thought Julie Goodyear was ill, that's why she pulled out after her last return, maybe I got it wrong.

I don't think you are in the minority. Bet was a popular character and I expect her scenes in Blackpool will work fine. It was ashock to see her back last time but we would have got used to her and embraced her eventually - but she went away too soon!

Hate - why?

She was a huge hit in the 70s 80s and 90s. Surely hate is too strong a word.

For goodness sake give her a chance. Corrie is definitely larger than life and needs strong characters. Just wait and see before you slag he off!

I think it's more a case of people feeling they've drawn a line under Bet. She's done her time, had her moments of glory and great storylines. But Corrie ARE good writers and they are going to be well aware they've got to come up with a pretty gripping story line this time around. Especially with her leaving so quick the last time. The gbp are an unforgiving bunch and are a bit quick to judge too. Remember the Slaters?

Contempt for the actress might be more fitting than hate for the character.

How can you feel such hatred for someone you have never met? I feel sorry for people that feel this way. We are talking about an actress who was in Corrie after all!

Contempt is not hatred. With what is going on in the world how can you not feel contempt for prima donnas.
