Brookside is back!

[RocksOff]

Ahh I'm so pleased that our little Brookie gang is still going strong
The aftermath of the siege, the awful intrusions, pretending to view Maries's house, just to gawp at Pat and Sandra - shocking!!
Edna not very well, some fantastic acting from Harry Cross (Bill Dean?) this week, and all sadly still true regarding the NHS.
I'm waiting for creepy picture box man too!!
And can't be long now til the first of The Corkhills

I wasn’t allowed to watch brookside when I was a kid, my parents thought it was too racy I think! I used to try and sneak it on. Is STV available through sky q? Never heard of it!

Just search for it via sky and download them.

5 episodes a week is not enough!!

Sinbad is really annoying in the repeats at the moment, has he been like this since he arrived?

I never realized there was a 13/14 year age gap between Paul and Annabelle!
What parents would go to bed with that party going on and kids spewing everywhere!
Heather and Nick zero chemistry!

Heather is so pretty but why does she find it impossible to pronounce Stuart?

 

[AdsB]

I guess they are rewriting the ending?

I googled and think I started 94 sometime as I do remember the Cult storyline with Simon, but before then it would've been on as Mum watched the omnibus

 

[Beverley macca]

Aw bollocks I live abroad
Might have to get a VPN. You Scots have all the luck lol

Don't worry. I live abroad too and watch on youtube.

Has anyone noticed that apart from once when there was a scene of DD in the kitchen talking to someone (I think it was Patricia), we’ve not seen the inside of the Dixon’s house. All of their scenes so far have taken place outside the house, mostly on their front lawn or in the road

I wonder in real life if the production were making some changes to the interior

I have now

I spotted the patio of number 10 today, in a few years from today's episode it will be the most famous patio in the UK!

He did have a funny mouth come to think of it. Yeah I've grown to like Heather, although I don't like her laugh.

I'm on 1986 now. Episode 350. Looks like there are some juicy storylines coming up...

I’m starting 401 today. I love Wednesdays! - watch the episodes over 2/3 days. It’s great to see all the summaries (although I avoid till after) and dates of broadcast. I’m still amazed how memorable they seem to be. I lived in a few different places but seem to have always watched it wherever I was.

Yes, some very intense storylines and great acting.

What year are we at peeps please?

July 1990

 

[Maid22]

Boring week, to much of those annoying kids.

 

[Maid22]

Also it stands out a mile when an episode has been written by Jimmy McGovern!

Absolutely! I love all of his works, one of the greatest writers. The last 2 episodes were so good!
Doreen just carrying on as if nothing had happened, very strange!
The last word from Sheila 'COW'

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

I can't BEAR Paul! I want to throw things at the telly every time he opens his stupid mouth!

 

[RocksOff]

The storyline of going to Rome has been absolutely flogged to pieces
The same ground going over and over again, by the time they'd actually got there, I forwarded through it all.
The rest of this weeks episodes were enjoyable but the Grants Senior, what a bore fest.
New characters incoming....

 

[GeeUniit]

Same. Love a beard!

 

[RocksOff]

It was a bit of a patchy,dare I say It, boring week
I suppose if Ricky Tomlinson left unexpectedly, stort lines had to be hastily re written.
I follow the thread on Digital Spy as its so interesting to read what they think.
There are some really thoughtful posts but there's one poster, Styker who could have an argument in an empty room!
Apart from that they very often mention the same.things we do regarding stories, characters etc

 

[Maid22]

Episodes 11-20 are now on the STV Player

Lovely job!!!

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Yes George doesn’t deserve what he’s going through but he was a bit daft and naive though. Who gives a complete stranger a detailed floor plan of a warehouse?
