Brookside is back!

[RocksOff]

So the Dixon's and the Moby have moved in!
I never liked Jacqui Dixon, the constant moaning and she sighs ALL the time, I'm going to struggle with her!

They have certainly brought a bit of life in to the close!
I did laugh when dippy Owen saw Sammy, and turned around for home
He's a moaner

I am so enjoying all of the new families turning up, and a nice lot of Barry too, him and Tracey had some nice scenes

rumour that

Spoiler

Michael Starke aka Sinbad

spotted on set

Not a rumour i've seen a video, I put it in tags just as its not announced yet.
The vid also had Louis Emerick so I think Donny will end up being Mick

 

[Maid22]

Yeah, like clockwork!
But he does make me laugh (Terry's Dad)

Yes, guilt, he was always down on Damon.

I remember quite a sad storyline coming down the line for Sammy, I liked the Rogers

I've missed a few weeks as I could not stand Pat, so I'm looking forward to my weekly treat again

God Pat was truly awful, so glad when he left!
I've googled the Sammy storyline, yep I remember now, very sad.

Going back to Damon's funeral, very strange they couldn't get hold of Karen, and she didn't show up, surely they could have shown a pretend phone call to her if the actress couldn't make it?

Poor George. He didn’t deserve that. Hard working family man and set up by some lowlife

 

[Maid22]

Now that is a surprise

It really is isn't it! Especially after the way he left!
Wonder if he got back with Sheila? Will our Claire make an appearance!!

another ex cast member up to no good

I don't remember him, but good he's been caught

 

[twinkleunicorn]

They’ve done that for every end of year episode so far. I think they keep it up for a while to come

Ahh I never noticed that back in the day!

 

[Sliceofpizza]

Does anyone know the series number and episode according to STV when Mandy Jordache and co make their first appearance? Thanks! Cant find it!

 

[Maid22]

Now catching up, Chris's hair, one minute it's short, the next it's long!

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

Incredible how different things are from then to now. I can't believe a line that Marie just came out with about Kate... Same with Coronation Street.

 

[Maid22]

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

I also recognised his voice first to, not his face with the floppy hair!!

 

[RocksOff]

early 90s I think. The same time they added the Parade set.

Thank-you, Quite late on then, I missed a chunk of Brookside, so it must have been around then

 

[Maid22]

Blimey I thought Sue was going to tell Barry the truth when she called him a bastard!!
Far to much, again of Tony Dixon and his friends.

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

I would imagine being made to slap Sheila would have been the final straw...

 

[Maid22]

Is it just me or is anyone finding it abit flat at the mo?
I didn't go much on Xmas episode and felt like an episode was missing after they found Barry in the freezer!!
I was never a fan of gangster Barry.
Am only really liking Max and snobby Pat!
And the new theme music

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

No, I never liked watching myself haha. I know channel 4 sold the rights awhile ago but wasnt sure which channel it was on now. If I tried putting it on my kids would probably be like what are you watching this for?!!

I don’t know if you have any daughters but did they look like you when you were that age?

 

[troutpout69]

I liked when Suzanne lost her kids in a carcrash! So sad!

 

[AdsB]

Could always cheat and watch on youtube

You aren’t far off the show going really crazy

 

[Wood79]

Its a bit slow going. I never watched these early ones first time round so was mid 90s for me too.

Yeah I started watching in the mid 90s too funnily enough. That was my thinking that it was too slow going. I know it's maybe not a good idea to introduce too many characters at once but I think we are all used to a bit more action in soaps today. There might be a bit too much now there is a happy medium!

 

[twinkleunicorn]

How far are we in now? I lost interest but I remember the Jordache era and I’m here for it when it arrives
