"calm down,calm down,calm down"

lol

i loved it, better than eastenders

Trevor under the patios! The prime-time lesbian kiss between Margaret and Beth Jordache. Jimmy Corkhill on crack. those were the days eh eh!

Yes!

What about the brother and sister who sleeping with each other and ran off together.

oh yes, Nat and Georgia. And their mum slept with a young lad and end up down the STD clinic and having to fess up to an irate hsuband. it's all coming back now!

I used to really like it, but towards the end it went right downhill.
I loved it in the good old days of Trevor under the patio etc though!

Was it Jackie Dixon and the turkey baster? Got pregnant and for Max and ...?? for a few thousand quid.

I don't miss it now but at the time I LOVED it. Especially the Beth Jordache era. But then it all got a bit far-fetched after a while and I couldn't watch it any more

I used to watch the omnibus on a Saturday before getting ready to go out on the town...they were the days!

Barry's mate with the bad perm who married that woman who shagged Barry and was pregnant with Barry's baby and had to tell - TERRY! that was it - him that it was his baby but Barry knew all along and then when he found out there was a row and Terry fell off some scaffolding that he was up for some unfeasable reason, fgs he was probably an accountant, and then he died.

5:05pm Channel 4

I knew it was 5ish but couldn't remember to the exact minute! You have a very good memory, WT!!

Well now that you mention it- yes a bit! Anyone remember how it all ended?

it all blew up!!

Was one of my favourites - 20 years ago!!!

it was the king of soaps

I was a watcher when barry and Terry got beaten my by McArdle. Early Early days

Yesss!

And when the Jacksons were at number 5 (I think) - and was her off Letter To Brezhnev in it then?

And tghe mad cult with Simon the leader - with the crazy stare-y eyes. Think Katie Dixon got involved in that one.

Loved it best in the early days - the Grants were the best. And the Corkhills a bit later. Barry Grant was a bit of all right, if a little bit of a rough diamond...

It was brilliant.
Loved it. Terry & Barry, then Damon & Debbie (stabbing made me cry) 'Free George Jackson', the seige, gizmo mate of damon, Gordon being gay, the collins' mad mother, harold & ralph & edna, the whole grant family, matty suicide, julia brogan, jonathan & the canadian girl, 'casabevron', jacqui dixon, .... I am seriously reminiscing now!
It got bad very late on but I remember when Ray Quinn was in it (now he was a great actor), tinhead & emily sagas, the shadwick dad (yum)
People I hated for bad acting - the jordaches, the chinese family, sue sullivan, chrissy rodgers, the priest,
Saturday omnibus was a great weekend bonus.
The more I think about it the better it gets!!!
