Brookside is back!

[Cupid_Stunt]

I also recognised his voice first to, not his face with the floppy hair!!

Someone on DS compared his look to Rik Mayall’s character Lord Flasheart in Blackadder, especially the way he was smarming around Sarah. The only thing missing was him thrusting and saying “woof“

I'm so excited for the cross over, though brief it'll be nice to catch up with the Brookie characters,
Wonder if theres enough time for them to also mention characters who arnt appearing? So mentions of the Murrays, Dixons etc
As I did read they asked Sarah White( Bev) but she was filming elsewhere

 

[RocksOff]

I think there may have been an episode missing @Maid22
There seemed to be a gap in the storyline

 

[Maid22]

The first appearance of Max & Patricia Farnham coming to view the house

This feels like the start of Brookside 2.0

I did wonder if that was them!! So they look at the Chois's?
Who has the Collin's next, is it the Dixon's?

 

[Maid22]

Yes, Rod winding Jimmy up about the meat, so funny! Like this side of Rod!

 

[MitziAdele]

The basement is drenched lol

Oops

 

[Maid22]

@RocksOff hope you're not working to hard and get a chance to catch up, though the last few weeks have been meh, this week's have been better!

Felt sorry for Geoff, his dreams shattered, his mother is awful and annoying (not for much longer I hope!)
Sue, what a cow! Nagged Terry to get himself checked out because she went on and on about having a baby, now she wants to wait!!
That scene with Tracy and Mark, he was nasty, but then it went to the next day, I was hoping to see Rod catch him, very strange!

I didn’t watch the very early episodes either. Sky dont make it easy to find the new ones. They’re all over the place!
Don’t remember Harry Cross’s wife. She cant have been in it long. Didn’t he end up in a bungalow?
I think the thing that stands out for me is the language they use. More so derogatory terms in particular. Ofcom would have a field day if it was now!!
Also i cant help but think of Marie and the character she was in Shirley Valentine

Yes that’s all I can see, the woman who was in Shirley valentine!

 

[HowlOwl]

Barry Grant beats Billy surely?
---
No, I don’t get the Barry Grant love!

What husband is this? That one with the glasses? I can't believe she didn't marry Tom. She must be bloody mad.

He was wealthy but a control freak, with a funny mouth. Feel a bit sorry for Heather, that she didn’t actually meet anyone decent, although at least Nick made her laugh.

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Oooh I can't find this week's episodes on sky
And I can't log in to to STV app as I've forgotten my password
Has anyone else had this?
I'm desperate to see this fight

The episodes are there on Sky now (it took them a couple of days to sort it out). They are under the Series 18 package

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Sheila Ferguson from The Three Degrees in this week’s episodes

 

[AdsB]

I'm so excited for the cross over, though brief it'll be nice to catch up with the Brookie characters,
Wonder if theres enough time for them to also mention characters who arnt appearing? So mentions of the Murrays, Dixons etc
As I did read they asked Sarah White( Bev) but she was filming elsewhere

I'm looking forward to seeing Nicki and Tinhead. I really liked the Shadwick family.

 

[Maid22]

Agree, Claire was a poppet! I wonder if the actress who played her did watch any of it, it was lovely of her to pop in here.
I like Margaret, she seems a proper down to earth lass, liked it when she was telling Max how to do diy! But bad they're treating her like a skivvy, Max and Patricia always came across as wannabe snobs to me!!!

 

[Maid22]

The Chois and the Rogers are dreadful.
Love the scenes between Sheila and Billy!! Glad Rod and Tracy have accepted them now!

 

[Misssj80]

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

I've just googled both actresses and there is 13 years between them but it easily looks like Marie is 20 years older

 

[Maid22]

Pretty boring drop this week and I could genuinely ring Chrissie's neck the way she acts in school around Geoff.

Some great comic relief though with the return of Julia and all her friends in need of a haircut...

Agree another meh week!
I always liked Julia, she's annoying but funny at the same time! No wonder Tracy was pissed, 25p for a haircut!!
Can't believe it's nearly Xmas again, comes around so quick, probably because not many episodes on during the week like other soaps!

[Tangoqueen]

I started watching when it was first released but got a bit bored by it after the initial fascination with the old times etc. I might go back now the corkhills have arrived.

Sue and Ricky were absolutely brilliant right from the start though

 

[Maid22]

Spoiler: Future storyline

I can’t understand for Sheila being such a god fearing woman that Bobby turns out not to be Barry’s dad I’m sure only time will tell

I don't remember this at all! Just done a search, blimey!

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Is it just me? But there hasn't been any new episodes released on sky this week, hope it gets fixed

Yes they were uploaded on Wednesday as normal. They’ve split them into series now so look for Series 2 & Series 3

The latest ones are the tail end of Series 2 and the 1st one in Series 3 so the ones you need are:

S2: E91 - E94 and S3: E95
