Very unfortunate name for that dog!
That was funny when the women were calling Billy, I'd have lost my shit to!
Did I miss something, the glass door got broken, then next Doreen was home, door mended, nothing said??

Lacey Turner is doing a podcast ‘We started here’ and she interviews- well I use the term interview loosely 🤣 Jimmy McGovern about his Brookside days

]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.

I'm still catching up. On episode 187 so a bit behind.

I have to admit though, brookie makes me want to buy a tabard for cleaning!

Pat really grates on me … ”Saaahndra”!!

I also don’t get the Heather/Nick relationship, he looks like a kids’ TV presenter. Tom had a funny mouth and Jonathan was totally charmless.

The only attractive man, in my opinion, is Billy Corkhill … there’s something about him.

Barry Grant beats Billy surely?

I've been enjoying the few episodes we get weekly!
Sheila, I'd forgotten about the pregnancy, and we know she would have kept it.
Pat is a twat, do they leave soon?
Heathers new husband, that was soo rushed! His daughter giving Rob a lovebite, marking her territory, I used to hate lovebites, thought they were gross!!
Annabelle and Paul, waiting on (new head) Gordon and his friend, they really did struggle with his sexuality, how times have changed! And he called him a poofter!

What husband is this? That one with the glasses? I can't believe she didn't marry Tom. She must be bloody mad.

I found Karen Grant quite boring from day one! And not a very good actress either!
Loved the xmas episode, Damon opening that present!
Harry and Ralph and friends getting pissed!
If I remember, the next year there's some big stories coming, especially Sheila?

I bloody hope so! I'm just passed the bit where Gav has snuffed it.

Thank you! So annoying how STV have it listed, youd think that mean series 12, ep 11 but I dont think it does.... breaking it down by series makes it so hard to decipher?!

My STV shows it by episode number, like the most recent is 730 if that helps

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 😂.

Haha omg we must be because I remember finding that episode on YouTube thinking my god its really amature but as a 7 year old I was really scared by it.

I remember the gas explosion but don't really recall the light switch moment.

I'm not sure if this happened but I remember adele from the Murray family being dresses as a ghost for Halloween and having her glasses attached to her head,and I think some old.woman gave then laxatives and dianne went mad,was the old lady called kitty?
The Murray family imo were brilliant each and every one of them.

Please let us know when it reaches the 90s!!, what year are we on now?

Blimey, during the half way break, there's 11 ads, never noticed this before, STV trying to get us to sign up to their plus plan!! Not worth it for 5 episodes of Brookie a week!!
