Brookside is back!

[kendallroysdownfall]

The end of this week’s last episode was a bit shocking.

That guy Sinnott, Mike’s nemesis, was played by Neil Fitzmaurice (who was credited as Neil Anthony in these episodes)

He’s probably best known nowadays for being in Phoenix Nights

And The Office...briefly!

Chrissie is an absolute horror!

 

[minnieminx88]

Yes, I’m catching up on this weeks episodes

Without this sounding wrong…. Damon’s jeans.
Wrong i know. Sorry.

 

[Maid22]

Especially as there appeared to be access on the lawns in front of the houses on the other side of the close, the ones next to the Grants whose residents don’t feature in the show

I thought the same, why couldn't they go around the other side!

 

[Maid22]

End of an era with Sheila and Billy leaving, I'll miss them, loved Sheila throwing Doreen out!
Am fed up with this Godden storyline.
Max is annoying just like his alarm!
Loved Sammy's hair!

 

[Invisiblewriter]

I have just remembered how irritating the Rodger’s were

 

[Beverley macca]

Oh wow ill have a look!

Picture not the best of quality although my eyes have now adjusted
Look up Valley Rhondda boi on youtube.

 

[Maid22]

Agree about sizzzzzzler, crap actor!! Also too much of Johnathon, I don't care!!
Sad watching Sheila leave, end of an era.
Loving Jamie, he's really coming across as a good lad.
Think that's the last we've seen of Chris, shame,I quite liked him.
Anabelle and Brian!!

Sky dont half make it hard to find the new episodes.

Imagine having to find a paper timetable to sort train times tho. We dont know we are born nowadays

I've downloaded the STV app, but they're kinda back to front if that makes sense!!!

Did anyone watch the Brookside bits in Hollyoaks at 7pm tonight (Wednesday night)?

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

What's with Diana's fringe?

They should call that episode ”There's Something about Diana"

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Talking of the Rogers, Diane Burke makes her debut in this week’s first episode as Katie and will remain with the show until the bitter end

Edit: posted at the same time as kendallroysdownfall

 

[minnieminx88]

These episodes are so short!
Jonah got on my wick this week i have to say.

 

[Maid22]

So Karen has gone, no send off, she just disappeared!
Doreen, she's really terrible when it comes to money, they haven't got any, but she still manages to spend, having her hair done, buying fancies for tea and lamb chops!!

 

[White]

I'm up to date with all the episodes so far! They've changed the format of the episodes now and put them into series/original air dates, well confusing me!

Wasn't around for these early series of Brookside so very much enjoying it, and the fashions and hair styles! Seems very dated of course in many respects. Wish they'd upload more than 5 episodes a week!

 

[Maid22]

What's with Diana's fringe?

They should call that episode ”There's Something about Diana"

That fringe!!!
Hope she got discount at the pharmacy for hairspray!

No I was traumatised for years after the body under the patio.
Didn't help that my dads commentary at the time was "there's a hand" while I hid in the other room.

I’ve just joined this thread, this is what I remember too! I don’t remember the earlier episodes!

 

[London Hung Guy]

"Philip Lawrence Borg-Olivier who had 5 children in 8 years with his wife" ... and I had hoped he would be a good gay boy IRL

His kids are adorable on his inta. Lovely family

 

[AdsB]

Picture not the best of quality

That’s what put me off. I wish they would release more episodes at a time on STV so it can to the 1990s era Brookside quicker.

 

[Maid22]

@Miss Havisham thanks for that, it's a very interesting insight.
I could never understand the storyline about Barry's father, that felt like it came out of nowhere as Sheila was portrayed as such a staunch Catholic, but Brookie liked to shock, and it sure did that over the years!!
