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!

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

"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

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.
@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!!

What a reunion!
Shame Dean Sullivan isn't here to be part of it. Trying to work out the logistics of it all here, haven't watched Hollyoaks religiously for a fair few years but have seen Sinbad and Mick, now Donny, scenes which were great! Looking forward to how the story goes there.
Jacqui now Diane would be interesting writing
How well has Paul Usher aged?

Agree! It's great to watch Sheila and Billy, they seem very natural together, both as characters and actors.
I don't want to moan, as I'm delighted Brookside is being shown again, but The Rogers bore me to bits, I fast forward through them
Everyone else, just ticking along nicely

Think it’s just kicking off! - episode 75. Heather and Roger’s constant bickering, right from the start, has always been grating. I can’t imagine either of them getting on with anyone!I watched quite a few on YouTube - as I grew impatient waiting for more episodes to be uploaded on STV. I stopped though as the quality just wasn’t very good. I’ll pick up again on STV - from where I was up to
Have we got to Rogers affair yet? I remember being gripped by that storyline (late summer of 1983). It was all we talked about at school - and I couldn't wait for the next episode!

Abso;utely agree. I've never had a problem.
Caught up on this weeks episodes and have to say, WTF was I watching in the last 5 minutes??
Bobby was really horrible, maybe feeling guilty on how he treated Damon?
Glad Barry stood up and spoke about him and included Debbie, was nice to see his old mates turn up for funeral, Gizmo had a haircut!
New family moved in,the Rogers, do remember them, but not their stories!
Can tell it's coming up to Xmas, Terry's dad has turned up!

Ahh that's her, thanks was doing my head in trying to remember!
Not her, but she does have a massive part to play later!

I am as well. I’m sick of the exploits of Tony and his mates.
I think it picks up later in the year (1991). I’m thinking when Jimmy’s family arrives and when we start seeing the building work to the parade of shops

My husband said last night “is he a terrible actor or is it just his voice?” It’s still 50/50 tbh
I know, he's too nice!!

I suspect they are arranged the same as the STV app on Sky Q. Instead of putting the ones recently uploaded first they are in episode number order so you have to scroll through all the episodes already seen so far to get to the new ones uploaded
When we start getting into the hundreds it’s going to be even more infuriating

I’ve got the last couple of weeks episodes to catch up on. Already I miss Harry, he’s so funny. I remember as a teen being annoyed by Harry but now I’m old I love him Sheila is really annoying now and I don’t think her a Billy go together well. It shows the writers were desperate for a story line when Bobby went.
