Brookside is back!

[Cupid_Stunt]

How far are we in now? I lost interest but I remember the Jordache era and I’m here for it when it arrives

We’re nowhere near that era yet. We’ve just started 1987

Im wfh today and have caught up to episode 6. I didnt watch the early ones as not old enough but i didnt know the corkhill guy was a teacher. What was his name??

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“

Lol, I can see that now, Lord Flasheart!! It's that hair!!

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

What was the line?

It was a racist remark. I'm not going to repeat it in case it looks like I'm saying it to be funny.

You did better than me. I lasted about 3 weeks.

“Liked” is probably the wrong word to use but yes that was so harrowing and very brave for a soap to kill off both of a character’s children

I meant I liked Brookside in those days

Blimey, during the half way break, there's 11 ads, never noticed this before, STV trying to get us to sign up to their plus plan!! Not worth it for 5 episodes of Brookie a week!!

There are more ads than actual brookie time.

 

[MitziAdele]

Whats he look like now haha

Hopefully exactly like this

 

[Maid22]

If you’re not in Scotland you’ll have to download the STV app I think? I’m in Scotland so get STV catch up via Sky

Ah you're a Scotty! Love hearing where folks are from!

 

[minnieminx88]

Oh. George

 

[Maid22]

People on the Digital Spy thread are saying the same thing. The next 5 episodes are there for me on Sky Q though

Thanks I thought it was just me!! Hopefully just a glitch if you've got them on sky q ( I haven't got that)

 

[RocksOff]

Yeah, that was funny!
Poor Harry though, I love him and Ralph

 

[Miss Havisham]

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

I loved the character of Marie. I think she played the part really well.
Really sad, as she was another Brookside actress who died young. I think she was only in her 50s.

I loved the reference to Brookside in Hollyoaks tonight. “Try dicko at the trading post”

I’ve watched all the reruns over the past 6 months from the beginning. I used to really like Sheila when she was with Bobby but her character is all over the place with Billy. The moral high ground she’s always taken and now she’s going to drop this bombshell. When I watched it originally I was shocked but now comments she’s made are fresh in my mind. Like when she was raped how she’d cried she had only ever been with Bobby. I feel the producers were desperately trying to get their ratings up without staying true to the past or the character. As if she’d tell Terry that to make him feel better in the real world when she’s never told a living soul.
Looking forward to the Farnhams and the Dixons.

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

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....

and when Sheila finally got to Rome she hasn’t stopped whinging about the things she doesn’t like about the place

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

I really liked him too. He tries to be a little bit hard but he's so vulnerable. Definitely one of the better actors in it. RIP

 

[Maid22]

I wasn’t allowed to watch brookside when I was a kid, my parents thought it was too racy I think! I used to try and sneak it on. Is STV available through sky q? Never heard of it!

I don't know, I just downloaded the STV app!!

 

[Maid22]

@RocksOff I found the missing episode!! It makes sense now!

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Another meh week!
Sue is awful, blimey Johnathon knocked off £10,000 but she's still moaning, then in the next bit, Terry offers to buy her a load of clothes!
I vaguely remember DD's brother Derek, wasn't he a vicar or a priest?

Spoiler

Yes he was. I also recall that he started dating Margaret which got DD’s back up because of his profession
