Brookside is back!

[Maid22]

Sue Johnston is back for the crossover. I fooking love Sue Johnston, she always seems like a very decent person (hopefully there’s no bad tea about her)

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

 

[pixxyy]

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

 

[Maid22]

There are more ads than actual brookie time.

I know!! It's very annoying!!

I can’t wait for 1990s Brookside, no soap comes close to that era. That’s what makes it my favourite soap of all time.

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.

 

[Maid22]

10 episodes landed, suppose it'll make up for no classic Corrie and Emmerdale!!!

 

[DrLoomis]

What channel ?

The STV Player...

 

[Maid22]

Did anyone watch the Brookside bits in Hollyoaks at 7pm tonight (Wednesday night)?

Yes I did, loved it, but it should have been longer! I was hoping there was going to be more in Hollyoaks later.

 

[AdsB]

Don't worry. I live abroad too and watch on youtube.

Are you gonna stick it until the end? I’ve watched clips of 2003 out of curiosity and it was awful .

 

[Maid22]

Does anyone know what the schedule is ? Is it like the other classic soaps 2 episodes a day?

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Thought I recognised her, normally ask the husband when there's an old face turn up but he then goes on one for ten minutes telling me how old they are now, or if they're dead, other TV programmes they've appeared in etc, he's like a walking Wikipedia for the 80 and 90s TV and music I did mean to check her name in the credits but forgot.

She wasn’t actually in the credits for some reason. I can’t remember if her character spoke or not so she probably didn’t get a credit as she was classed as an extra

 

[Maid22]

I never realised the actor who played Billy Corkhill was in it before playing a teacher!!
For corrie watchers, Wendy Crozier is in it to!
Has anyone watched the recent ones? Who's the girl at school with Damon, I know her from somewhere but can't think where!

 

[TillyMiffin]

It will be on stv player from 1st February, going right back to the start.
I can’t wait, used to love watching it with my mum. After Laura died from switching on a light I was scared to touch a light switch for months
Sinbad was my favourite until tinhead came along and I fell in love with Philip Olivier.

Will anyone else be watching?

Is it in the sky channels?

 

[MumtoKE]

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

I know, I had completely forgotten about it!

 

[cryptix]

Is anyone still watching?

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

 

[TigerTim]

So this is unexpected… Brookside and Hollyoaks crossover as part of the latter’s 30th anniversary celebrations https://www.channel4.com/press/news...ecial-soap-crossover-celebrate-hollyoaks-30th

 

[twinkleunicorn]

Without this sounding wrong…. Damon’s jeans.
Wrong i know. Sorry.

I know
---

I’m looking forward to all build up to the body under the patio and when things get a bit crazy in the late 90s with all the gangsters and explosions . I know I have ages to wait.

This is when I started watching it last time!

 

[minnieminx88]

Im about 3 weeks behind now as i have had a nightmare finding the newest episodes. Ive maybe missed some but Lucy is back in the first one ive found.

 

[pixxyy]

That's quite a career change! Didn't Mick run the chippy on Brookside?

Yeah though didnt Leo end up a Policeman so could've inspired his Dad. Tisha Merry is going to play 'Gemma' which I think is partly why its rumoured tho she's a few years younger than Gemma Johnson would be

 

[Maid22]

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??

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Dean Sullivan (Jimmy Corkhill) has sadly passed away
