Brookside is back!

[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

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

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!

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

Omg. Chrissie is such a dickhead. Give Sammy a minute FFS...

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??

Dean Sullivan (Jimmy Corkhill) has sadly passed away

 

[cryptix]

I can’t wait for it to get to the 1990s on STV.
I’ll start watching then

Same just mentioned it above.i trier so hard to get into it from the beginning but it's just so dull.i left it where pet had got pregnant and barry was sniffing around her lol.
The guy in the bungalow and Gordon with the synthesiser thing got me switching off lol.

 

[AdsB]

Yep. Some say it was the start of the end

Unpopular opinion but I love that era of Brookside. Always ahead of its time as all the soaps are crazy now .

Have you got to the Suzannah car crash yet?

Just watched first episode, I was only born in 1974 so don't remember the earlier years.

 

[Maid22]

I loved the character of Marie. I think she played the part really well.
Really sad, as she was another Brookside actress who died young. I think she was only in her 50s.

Yes she was a feisty one! Oh that's sad.

 

[RocksOff]

Do you know, I've never thought about the silent kettles, but you're absolutely right!

 

[theshoefairy]

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

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

I didn't know we see the parade being built, the drama that is doing to happen on that parade in the next 12 years!

Yes we definitely see it being built as I can think of something that happens during the building of it (but I won’t say what for those watching for the first time).

I can’t believe how long this parade is taking to come to fruition. I think the parade of shops were first mentioned on screen as an initial idea 2 years before

 

[Noseyparker68]

I'd still do him

Whats he look like now haha

 

[Sh1tRollsDownHill]

Did anybody notice Claire Sweeney was in the fifth episode this week?

She was playing a character called Paula, who was the girlfriend of Damon’s mate Mark. Damon got them to babysit his little sister for him whilst he went out

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.

 

[Maid22]

Havent seem 10pm one felt everything was rushed tbh.i take it sheila bought s house back on the close?

There's no brookie in the 10pm one!
So it looked like Sheila and Billy still together but her and Bobby had abit of a dalliance a few months before? Which surprised me knowing Sheila and her faith.
Cameo appearance by Phil Redmond, he needs a haircut!

 

[Maid22]

Gordon's contraption he was in, then the 'finished' !!!

 

[AdsB]

That ending when Sheila was just about to tell Terry something, I had to Google, I'd totally forgotten about that!!!

I think I know what it is as I'm sure I've read about it before, what day do the episodes drop?
