I started watching from episode one, when STV starting repeating Brookside. I stopped when Heather left the close, as I was previously building up to my all time favourite storyline (Heather marrying Nick / his heroin addiction).
As that storyline closed I stopped watching, with the intention of picking it up again, but I didn’t feel inspired to - as some dull storylines were coming up. Also, the boring couple and then a new family who were really annoying (forgotten their names).

I will get back into it (or try) at some point soon.

Also they are apparently filming on the close but it was demolished in the Brookside universe? I'm so confused 😂.

Me to!! Haven't watched Hollyoaks for years, do remember the actress who played Jackie Dixon was in Hollyoaks, the constant sighing used to get on my nerves!!

Yes I agree about the exits, very low key, at least nowadays most of them say bye and leave in a taxi!!

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?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that! It was a bit naff of him to give a so little notice with regards to her work but what he was offering in terms of the house was like a silver platter!

I watch on youtube. I had to forward about 10 years tbh 🤣 I did watch all episodes back in the day. Love it. I'm watching right this very moment. December 1999.

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.

So sad to see the death of Dean Sullivan (I saw it on a Brookie Insta page and they were saying they’d posted ‘prematurely’ took it and then put it back up again). Jimmy Corkhill was such a memorable character.

Love this photo

I get fed up when people mess with theme tunes. There's a podcast I've followed for a couple of years (ironically from Liverpool) and they've unnecessarily changed the theme tune. Now I'll find it really hard to listen to the content because the ambience isn't right 😂

STV Player are showing 10 episodes per week, I think they are available from a Tues or Wed.
You can watch all 10 in one sitting.
I'm no techie but I think there are nearly 3,000 episodes of Brookside, and putting all those on their Player, available all at the same time, just wouldn't be possible.

Thank you, I quite like that 10 episodes in one go!!!

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.

He did have a funny mouth come to think of it. Yeah I've grown to like Heather, although I don't like her laugh.

I'm on 1986 now. Episode 350. Looks like there are some juicy storylines coming up...

I have this saved to watch tomorrow afternoon @Maid22
It was a massive storyline back in the day, and I'm certain it will be just as shocking now
