Brookside is back!

[Maid22]

and the woman who played Alan’s mum was Nana Moon in Eastenders in the 00s (Alfie & Spencer’s nan)

I recognised her Lovie!!!

 

[Maid22]

Anyone know if she, and Gordon, ever come back from France? I can't remember.

I really detest Nick at the moment, and not liking the young (!!) Jimmy Corkhill, but I do remember that he was an acquired taste!

I'm pretty sure Lucy 1 does come back for abit, so does Gordon with a different head!!

 

[Maid22]

No, I never liked watching myself haha. I know channel 4 sold the rights awhile ago but wasnt sure which channel it was on now. If I tried putting it on my kids would probably be like what are you watching this for?!!

Thank you for answering! The reruns are on STV player, the one of you tripping over is in the last 5 shown (they show 5 episodes a week!) oh you must show your kids, Brookside was one of the best soaps, ever!!

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?

True!

 

[Maid22]

Watching new batch, that Marie (Petra's sister) I thought she was Petra's mum!!!!

 

[Maid22]

Pat is doing my head in, wanting to kick Sandra out, the only one bringing in a regular wage, blaming her for their break up, he was violent to her.

I was just wondering if STV will show the spin off with Damon and Debbie.

 

[Maid22]

I also always love the Xmas credits!!

Can't believe they left Katy on her own!! One of them should have stayed home with her.
That fight between Billy and Barry looked so realistic! And the start of Barry and Tracy.

 

[Maid22]

Have been waiting for this episode since it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

Watching the way Barry is hostile towards Sue in the lead up is haunting

Still a while to go, it was a special for the 1000th episode.

That's why I thought it was soon! Don't know why Barry was like that, Terry had forgiven Sue and they were trying for a baby

What a good mate Geoff was to Bumper, that was so sweet.

Me too!! Haven't watched Hollyoaks for years, I do remember the actress who played Jackie Dixon was in Hollyoaks, the constant sighing used to get on my nerves!!

The actor who played Mick is also in Hollyoaks now and Brookside Parade is now Dee Valley Hospital in the show.

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

Two BELTING episodes!

 

[Maid22]

Far to much of Pat in this weeks, dreadful actor! Just looked, he leaves soon!

 

[pixxyy]

thought safer to tag incase people dont want to know. I also read on Brookside FB group the ep is 1hour & post watershed

Spoiler: another return

Ricky Tomlinson

Heather's giggling is absolutely UNBEARABLE! Just after 6 minutes on episode 368 made me want to jump through the TV.

Absolutely!
It was driving me mad, and it doesn't seem genuine either, Heather is a strong independent woman, she is acting like a ditzy airhead at times
Still, lots of fab story lines to come...

I have now

Now I'm noticing suddenly how much they are now using the house

 

[Miss Havisham]

I am watching it and loving it.

 

[HowlOwl]

Is anyone still watching?

I love it! The writing and acting is particularly well done at the moment between Sheila and Bobby, with the vasectomy story. I think Heather‘s new chap Tom is going to try and control her (plus he’s got a funny mouth). The car buying with Harry and Ralph is entertaining.

 

[RocksOff]

Can someone please tell me how to watch this in Ireland. Can't find it anywhere

Are you able to download the STV app?

I was 16 when Brookie ended and I taped the last episode & kept it for years! I don’t know how old I was when I first started watching but I remember so many key moments like the gas explosion! Also Tinhead was my first crush!

I haven’t watched Hollyoaks in years but I will def be watching this!

We have the same era of watching! I can remember the body under the patio. The incest storyline, the gas explosion and the Millennium club bomb. So I guess I watched from 1995 to 1999. I dipped back in for the bullying storyline and the 2002 siege but I stopped watching again when they took it off week nights.

 

[AdsB]

I remember the siege seemed to go on for ages!

Thanks @Maid22 for flagging up this thread! I’ve seen so many storylines mentioned so far that I don’t remember, although i only really watched it from about the mid-90s. Saturday teatimes were never the same without the omnibus!

I remember the body under the patio, the lesbian kiss, the brother and sister relationship and Mick Johnno’s mother-in-law (?) asking him to euthanise her. Casa Bevron!

I’m looking forward to seeing what makes Barry Grant turn rogue as he seems alright so far! Not sure how he can cope with Petra tbh

I loved this era. Think I watched Brookside from 1995-2000
