Julie Goodyear returned to Coronation Street in 1970 and remained there for an incredible 25 years. After winning the Lifetime Achievement Award for her depiction of Bet Lynch at the first National Television Awards, she decided to depart the show in 1995. She did, however, reprise the part in 1999 for the home video spin-off The Rover Returns.
Goodyear briefly returned to Coronation Street in 2002, and in a 2003 Blackpool-based story featuring characters Liz McDonald (played by Beverley Callard) and her husband Jim (played by Charles Lawson), who had recently escaped from prison, she made a second appearance.
Beyond Coronation Street, Goodyear began a number of career attempts.
In 1996, she consented to a marketing agreement with Shredded Wheat. She also worked as a DJ for Manchester Talk Radio, hosted Live Time on the Granada Breeze network every weekday beginning in January 1999, and filmed a pilot episode of The Julie Goodyear Show for Granada. These are just a few of her other notable accomplishments.
In 2001, she made cameo appearances on the BBC comedy sketch series Revolver and the ITV1 game show Lily Savage’s Blankety Blank. She triumphed in the first season of the Living TV reality show I’m Famous and Frightened! in 2004.
Goodyear and her former co-star from Coronation Street, Ken Morley, participated in the ITV reality series Celebrity Fit Club in 2005.
