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

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 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.

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 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....

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

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? 😄

I’ve really enjoyed watching the old episodes! I was a big fan of brookside, didn’t start watching it until early 90’s so have enjoyed watching from the beginning. I didn’t know that Ian Mercer, who plays Damon was in at the start, he also was Gary Mallet from Coronation street. I’m now ready for the next release of episodes.

I had a look on ch4's ALL4 app & they only have 3 episodes, from various years available to watch.
Strange
Almost as though it doesn't fit with the channel's output these days.

I know, they put up a few episodes, then nothing, didn't they show the first episode when channel launched?
