I have really been getting into Eastenders lately...Coronation Street not so much...but what I'd really like is BROOKSIDE back!

I miss Jimmy Corkhill!

Brookie was the BEST! I still mourn it.

We should try and find a way of putting pressure on the powers-that-be to bring it back.

I think you're the woman for the job alma!...

And Barry Grant...he was fantastic too!

I loved all the Grants....I even watched that spin-off thing "Damon & Debbie"...Damon was one of my big TV crushes..."back in the day!"...I cried my eyes out when he was killed

I remember the very 1st episode of Brookie - when one of the houses was vandalised - and Barry was taking a look round...

"It's not our Damon that done this.."

"How do you know?"

"...He spells Bollocks with one 'L'.."

I remember that first Brookie too...wasn't it on the day Channel Four launched?...after Countdown?

I just can't get used to Sinbad being in Corrie!

And who could ever forget THAT kiss....

Lol, i was just gonna spam this thread with brookside pics but someone beat me to it!
Brookside was all about :
Someone being buried under a patio
Jimmy's Drug Dealing shenanigans
The incest plot

Man, epic television!

[Jukebox Jury]

Brookside is the only soap I have ever watched.
Heather Hammersham
Karen Grant (Karen began every sentance with ''Ahh reyy mam''

The comical Harry Cross and his side kick (can't recall his name), the snobby family with Gordon the Gay son, Rod The Plod, Damon's mates Ducksie and Gizmo. And of course Terry, Barry's mate.

By the time the likes of Clare Sweeney came along I had well stopped watching.....

Didn't poor Heather get an electric shock from the landing light switch and fall down the stairs to her death?
