Brookside is back!

[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.

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!

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

 

[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

 

[kendallroysdownfall]

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
