I’ve really enjoyed watching the old episodes! I was a big fan of brookside, didn’t start watching it until early 90’s so have enjoyed watching from the beginning. I didn’t know that Ian Mercer, who plays Damon was in at the start, he also was Gary Mallet from Coronation street. I’m now ready for the next release of episodes.

Gavin is an absolute tit
I’ve just joined this thread, this is what I remember too! I don’t remember the earlier episodes!NoI was traumatised for years after the body under the patio.
Didn't help that my dads commentary at the time was "there's a hand" while I hid in the other room.
Karen is annoying isnt she. I vaguely remembered her being like that. I feel the teenager thing is overacted. The eye rolls etc.
I think the actress who played Karen was about 20 yrs old at the time.
Moody 80's teen
I was oneI had a feeling she was older. She def does the moody 80s teen well just a bit over the top imoI think the actress who played Karen was about 20 yrs old at the time.

Another thing- sometimes i get the feeling esp with the Grants and Bobby and Sheila in particular, that their script is well… not scripted. Does that make sense?
Peak Practice is also being repeated….just to warn you
2 very good actors, Ricky Tomlinson & Sue Johnston, they make it look easy, I don't think Brookside would have taken off without them.
Yeah i did think that too. They go so well together it was maybe just so natural when filming.
Im whizzing through these episodes far too fast!
I loved the first ten years of brookside, so will be watching this on STV Player. I’m surprised that we didn’t see much of Paul Usher outside of Brookie, he was fantastic as Barry Grant
Some of the characters are beyond irritating - I had forgotten how much so. Lucy Collins is no.1 irritant for me
Closely followed by Gavin Taylor..
I am surprised at how badly Alexandra Pigg plays Petra Taylor. Is it just me who finds that she seems to struggle with the role? Some of her facial expressions look really forced.

Have to admit I do like Lucy's rebelling against her snob father though, some stinging barbs aimed at him.I loved the first ten years of brookside, so will be watching this on STV Player. I’m surprised that we didn’t see much of Paul Usher outside of Brookie, he was fantastic as Barry Grant
