Crossroads star JoAnne Good has reflected upon her time in the soap, with the actor declaring that she is "quite proud" of her role.
The ITV soap was set at a fictional Midlands hotel, with the series originally running for nearly 25 years before its cancellation in 1988. The broadcaster revived the soap in 2001, though the comeback was short-lived as it was axed once again after just two years.
Good, who portrayed Carole Sands on the soap between 1981 and 1984, spoke on the Suddenly Single podcast about her time in the series, sharing that she looks back fondly on her character.
"I can’t shake Carole off," said Good. "I’m quite proud of it because my character was the forerunner to Kylie Minogue’s character (Charlene Robinson) on Neighbours.
"I played the car mechanic in the motel garage. It had a viewership of 25 million a night."
Good, who currently presents The Late Show on BBC Radio London, subsequently had roles in Casualty and Dempsey and Makepeace, the latter being a crime drama starring Michael Brandon and Glynis Barber in the lead roles.

"There were 20 million people who tuned in to watch," he recalled. "We didn't know how long it was going to go. I signed on to do 11 episodes. And then there was a second [season] and this became a relationship [with Barber].
"And people were watching this relationship. You go back and you watch it, and there it is happening. I tried to show it to my son. He had no interest. 'That’s how I met your mom, you know!'"
