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.

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

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!

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?

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😅

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

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.

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 😂.

I am still loving the Brookside reruns. Back in the day I would be watching it Monday and Tuesday - and then the repeat on Saturday!
it can’t be too far off now - before we have the vasectomy storyline (Bobby and Sheila). This storyline really annoyed me back in 1985 - as it was all about Sheila’s refusal to use contraception because of her catholic faith. I grew up in Liverpool (catholic) and cannot recall any catholics refusing to use contraception in the 1980s. It’s only a soap - but it did annoy me at the time as it was so OTT.
