Brookside is back!

[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!

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!

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

 

[Beverley macca]

Yeah they were good. The Nicki Shadwick Luke Musgrove story is just ending now.

 

[Maid22]

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

Oh blimey, you mean Petras husband?

The Damon and Debbie mini series was dreadful, it could have all been done in one 30min episode. Damon was playing a totally different character to what we've seen before. The scene were he got physical with Debbie was so out of character. The uncle turns up as a different character in years to come, Ray Quinns dad if I remember correctly. Was great to see Morecambe and Frontierland though, we spent a lot of our youth there and it struck up some great memories.
To be fair all the early episodes of Brookside are shit, with a lot of weak storylines and characters. I'm patiently waiting for Bar Brookie, the Jordaches, Tinhead and Jen Ellison to appear.

Yes I’m waiting for that lot too

Is anyone else finding Marie insufferable?

As a kid I did. Re-watching as an adult I LOVE her! She's been totally battered by life, never gets a break but if you're her friend or family she'd fight to the death for you.

My hometown Basingstoke got another mention.

 

[MumtoKE]

Is it just me? But there hasn't been any new episodes released on sky this week, hope it gets fixed

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Brookside was first shown on a Monday and Tuesday and an hour omnibus on Saturday at 5.05

I was wrong then although there was a time when it was Monday & Wednesday I think. So an even bigger gap between new episodes from Tuesday to the following Monday

The basement is drenched lol

 

[Maid22]

I could manage 10 comfortably I think @Maid22
How about you?

Yep I could, the other classic soaps are 2 a day, so that's 10!
Just seen an advert for a new show coming on more 4, Ricky, Sue and a trip for two, they revisit Brookside close!

 

[Maid22]

I'm quite liking Paul!!
Poor Sheila.
Still can't stand Harry, but love Ralph!
Heather and Nick, will be glad when this storyline finishes.

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

I felt sad watching that, just a genuine nice bloke and a saint to put up with Marie!!
Annabelle has really come across as a good neighbour, not at all snotty or stuck up at all, really like her!
Am finding Heather one of those folks who think they're better than anyone else.
Loving Sheila and Bobby, you can see how well they get on together, no wonder they went on to star together in the Royal family!

Annabelle is lovely. By comparison I want to hit Paul over the head with every sentence that comes out of his condescending mouth. He reminds me of my awful ex father in law!

 

[Sh1tRollsDownHill]

I had to Google this one as I couldn't remember the characters name, but was sure I remembered a character from Brookside being written out and written in to Hollyoaks.
Matt Musgrove, played by Kristian Ealey, unfortunately Kristian died young.

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

I love Katie Rogers!
