On episode 403. It's been a slightly, but worth it.

Doreen has really grown on me, I like the way she puts Billy in his place.

Got to be fair, I do like Harry's character. Very well played.

I still can't believe what happens to Sheila and Bobby. Looking forward to those episodes.

It’s been a slightly?
 
Urgh, I've exhausted STV player now and waiting for more to be added. Has anyone managed to find it anywhere else to watch?
 
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.
 
And, Barry's back 👀 is this when he starts to go rogue?
Harry gives us some good laughs in our house, the miserable old sod 😂 I love how soft he is over the pregnancy.
Nick storyline is boring us now.

Look forward to when the new episodes drop every week, we call it Brookie date night 😆

I am actually loving the Heather and Nick storyline - even though they seem mismatched and he looks like the most unlikely heroin addict.
I think Heather leaves the close when this storyline comes to an end.

An unpopular opinion, but I never liked Ricky Tomlinson playing Bobby Grant. I think it’s the way he flies off the handle with no warning, with his long side parted hair flying about. I never found him convincing - and don’t get me started on Matty 🤣

Sheila and Barry were the best actors in the Grant household IMO

Just to add.
I grew up in Liverpool in the 80s (quite near Brookside Close). Bobby Grant’s hair was a topic of conversation at the time.
I was probably the same age as Damon when it was filmed, with my dad (and dad’s of my friends) being near the same age as Bobby.
NO middle aged man had hair like Bobby Grant!!!

I don't like the way Bobby has changed, but I've never noticed his hair before!
 
I haven't watched quite a few episodes, but managed to catch up on this week.
I don't remember Bobby being so awful, but then I was quite young when these episodes first aired.
I just wanted Tracey Corkhills hair style with her streaks in, had to make do with an inferior shades and toners job.
How heart breakingly gorgeous is Barry in these episodes, helping and protecting his Mum.
A good weeks episodes, nothing drastic (yet) just keeping everything ticking along nicely.

Xmas again!
So Heather has left, never really liked her, the story with Nick felt so rushed and such an odd pairing!
Harry Cross, nasty old grumpy man, how the hell Ralph puts up with him?
Doreen, classic case of champagne taste, lemonade pockets!
Enjoyed last week when Annabelle's fridge broke, so she took the food to the neighbours to look after, and most of them ate it!

When it's on song, there's no other soap to match it
I too felt the Heather story was so rushed, but maybe, maybe, it's because we see the episodes bunched together?
I do wish my children were so quiet like Claire, I'd have had half a dozen of them.
Not very realistic them having a relaxing cup of tea first thing in the morning!
But I did love Bobby giving her the paper to read
