Brookside is back!

[Cupid_Stunt]

Absolutely, she was a massive character, and though I didn't agree with everything she did or said, you totally believed in her, a masterclass by Sue Johnston.
I started counting every time Jimmy said the words Godden or Frankie and lost count!
Very very boring but now Barry is on the case it should become a little more interesting.
On the alarm, when we had one fitted it needed to be wired in, not just a box fixed to the wall, so that confused me a little.
Great to see Margaret, she is a good addition and also I loved Patricia back in the day, She was so fashionable and modern in her attitude to females in the work place

It's setting the groundwork for the new era of Brookside now, especially with Sheila and Claire leaving, I'll miss Claire, she was such a poppet

Sheila & Billy leaving was quite understated, you’d be forgiven for thinking that they were just going on a break not leaving permanently. If this was nowadays they would have made more of a fuss of their departure

It was like Harry just going away for what seemed like only a holiday but Mick has revealed, from a phone call, he’s not coming back (although he does make a brief return in the late 90s) and the Collins’s departure was quite subdued as well

Once the Dixons arrive, this will be like, as you say, a new era for the show. Brookside 2.0 in a way and is when I started watching the show. Once the Parade opens, which won’t be until late 1991 that’s when the storylines properly ramp up

Now that is a surprise

Duane you mean?
I know. I never knew that too. Hes a bad un tho.

Getting mixed up, yes Duane! He definitely is a bad one

Why is Alan taking photos of young girls? It’s a bit weird

 

[RocksOff]

Love Mike Dixons Jagger t shirt!!

 

[RocksOff]

yeah seems my idea of the ep might be true. If so we need Lindsey, Jackie & Will

I smiled when I saw the time.of your post as it was the Saturday omnibus time, got to get home for 5.05!!

I didn't watch much of Hollyoaks so not sure how much this will all mean to me, but so looking forward to seeing the Brookie cast members

 

[minnieminx88]

Well tbh ive no idea but sky is making out we are on series 2. Theyre all over the place

Can't wait to get to the bit where Sinbad is in it!

]Sinbad has been in it a few times already. His character changes with time though. He starts off as a theiving scammer type - later turns into a salt of the earth type chap.

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

The gas explosion and millennium club bomb were my favourite storylines from that period.

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Just started this week's, first episode felt abit off as if I missed somethings?
Anyone on here watch classic Emmerdale? Was Johnathon's friend Grayson??

Yes he did play Grayson in Classic Emmerdale. I recognised his voice before I recognised his face

I think the numbering of the episodes have been off for a few months. Also there was an extra episode added during Christmas week 1989 which might explain why STV didn’t notice they skipped an episode

 

[minnieminx88]

I know

This is when I started watching it last time!

Im glad i wasnt the only one that noticed!!
Absolutely obscene hahaha.

 

[Maid22]

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?

 

[Rockin' Robin]

Did they ever find out what happened to Petra Taylor?

 

[Maid22]

I don't remember the sink hole or the new couple!
I'd have parked my car on the grass to, they were all taking the piss driving over it!
The actress who plays Doreen is in it briefly, the itv drama Until I kill you, first time I've seen her in anything since Brookside!

 

[RocksOff]

Why am I not surprised!!
I couldn't stand to watch anymore of it
Saying that, I am so enjoying watching Brookie again, I look forward to it every Wednesday

 

[Miss Havisham]

We will soon reach the fabulous story line - featuring “Nick” and his rather odd friend (Charlie). It was probably my favourite Brookside storyline.

Heather doesn’t half pick em!

 

[RocksOff]

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

Ooh you beauty!
Thank you

 

[Cagp20]

I’ve really enjoyed watching the old episodes! I was a big fan of brookside, didn’t start watching it until early 90’s so have enjoyed watching from the beginning. I didn’t know that Ian Mercer, who plays Damon was in at the start, he also was Gary Mallet from Coronation street. I’m now ready for the next release of episodes.

 

[minnieminx88]

Just watched this weeks, and blimey we nearly saw Roger's todger when he got out of the bath!!

Ohhhh cant wait for that haha
Havent seen this weeks yet.
