Brookside is back!

[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

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!

 

[Cagp20]

Great, I was checking yesterday to see if they were available!

 

[RocksOff]

I've been away on holiday and so have lots to catch up on
I'm so excited

 

[Maid22]

Yeah i have that on my laptop and it’s much easier. Just was sat in front of the tv and thought i would search for the newest ones. Theres series 1 and 2 and then ‘other’

Aren't we still on first series? Sorry am no help!!

The next episode where Doreen was home was the following Monday’s episode. There would have been nearly a week’s gap between the previous episode on the Wednesday (I think) when the glass in the door was still broken to that first episode where we saw Doreen again on the Monday. So we have to assume that the door was mended in those in between days.

It was a bit daft doing it that way though as I was looking forward to seeing Doreen’s reaction

I keep forgetting there was such a gap between episodes!
Yes I wanted to see Doreen's reaction too!

I find the Heather/Nick relationship really hard to understand. Particularly given she had only recently rejected Tom Curzon. I'm not sure though thatI had appreciated the age difference between Heather and Nick or, really, between Annabelle and Paul.

I kept shouting "Blimey Terry'. Really great acting and though I know it's obviously a character it also shows how any amiable man can have another side to them. By that I'm referring to when it's discovered that a woman has been suffering from DV and people can barely believe it.

A slog that was meant to say! Bloody phone

 

[Maid22]

I've just had a quick look to see what happens in this new year, no spoilers, but a huge storyline for the Grants, iykyk!!

 

[Miss Havisham]

This is my favourite period of Brookside. I loved the Heather / Nick storyline (which is just starting to gain pace).

 

[Maid22]

The George storyline is really sad. Such a lovely, gentle character.

I felt sad watching that, just a genuine nice bloke and a saint to put up with Marie!!
Annabelle has really come across as a good neighbour, not at all snotty or stuck up at all, really like her!
Am finding Heather one of those folks who think they're better than anyone else.
Loving Sheila and Bobby, you can see how well they get on together, no wonder they went on to star together in the Royal family!

I gave up watching the 80s part found it top boring goingf to rejoin when it gets to 1990s onwards

Same here. I found it really dull.

 

[Maid22]

Just caught up with this week's, Michael Choi's girlfriend Alison (the actress who played her has been mentioned alot in recent classic Emmerdale!) is a dreadful character, can she just go to the states now!
Sammy starting to drink, not good.
Really missing Sheila and Billy, it's quite a bore without them!
Is this about the time when the actress who played Annabelle was diagnosed?

 

[RocksOff]

Hello Brookside fans

I haven't watched for a while now, is it warming up a bit?
I've got a second job, so my tv hours are precious now

 

[Elixir.]

That's great news, she's a fave of mine!
Any news on anyone else?

I’ll be watching it just for Sue alone! Exciting I haven’t watched Hollyoaks in about twenty years though.

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

Oh that's so sad.

 

[RocksOff]

Just had a thought, Claire's parents might not have wanted her credited maybe?

 

[Beverley macca]

You’ve watch 2 years worth since we last interacted! I think I stopped watching around December 1999 originally. Well until I dipped back in for some of the bullying plot and the siege/helicopter crash.

there's nothing else I watch on telly. I'm in a routine. Husband goes to bed. I make a cuppa and watch loads

 

[AdsB]

Same,one of my earliest memory of a soap is Suzanna's car crash my mum taped it and made us watch it as kids to never mess about in the car as it could cause the same.

Are we the same person . I never forgot my seatbelt after that episode (even though watching the crash again it’s really tame).

Also learned never to switch on a light during a gas leak thanks to Brookside .
