It was a beautiful moment, but the backlash Scott has received is so ugly he has taken it down
I MET Julie Goodyear many moons ago when she was still starring as Corrie’s Bet Lynch.
On screen she was the Rovers barmaid, a force to be reckoned with, who often seemed indestructible despite all the heartache and trials she faced.

Away from the camera I remember Julie’s amazing presence.
She was glamorous, sharp and quick-witted, all cleavage, fags and blonde hair.
So when I saw a photo of her this week sitting in a chair at home looking painfully frail, with barely any teeth, pulling at her tracksuit bottoms, I was shocked.
It was a picture that I wish I’d never seen. My first reaction was that the old Julie would have hated it.
But I then read the words that her husband Scott Brand had written alongside it when he posted it on social media: “Just got home with my lovely wife and we’ve had a fantastic day together. Thank you so much for all your birthday wishes from both of us.”
