i really miss brookside

[southeastastra]

does anyone else?

That will be hard to beat, I think, beansprout .

yes it was a big story at the time wasn't it

Oh and Sheila Grant and Billy Corkhill finally getting it together... sigh.

snort! at Billy Corkhill Appreciation Society

Oh God they did didn't they? I'd forgotten that!

We thought we were particularly witty as it was back in the days when PCAS, who you had to apply to, to go to Polytechnics, still existed.

Student humour is so tragic sometimes.

beansprout, that really is utter madness.

is it not on any more?

[innocent]

[finger on pulse of tv programming]

We used to watch it in the bar at college; the barman used to nick the Library telly and bring it down and stick it on the bar counter. And refuse to serve anyone except us while it was on. It was the same for EastEnders and Corrie. He liked his soaps, he did.

no don't think it's on anywhere. was billy married to the really thin red headed woman on went on to be a nun?

and they had jacqui and a son what was his name?

Oooh I remember her sea, she had a really annoying mouth.

I'm guessing that beansprout will know her name.

blimey yes, the stories were really tragic

Billy was married to Doreen.

And they had little Jimmy Corkhill, who went on in the fine family tradition of class A drug addiction of course.

yes that's him! the actor changed didn't he

wasn't Jimmy a brother, rather than a son? or am I barking?

No Billy and Doreen's children were Rod and Tracey it was Ron dixon's children that were Jackie and Mike.

check this out

Yes Jimmy was Billy's brother and jackie Corkhill was Jimmy's wife/ex wife.

I;m thinking of Jimmy Corkhill's son.
Sorry.

Billy and Doreen had Rod the Plod.

I did Media Studies A Level and we had a field trip to the Brookie set. It was at the time when Mick stayed in Harry Cross's bungalow, Harry was away and left notes for Mick all over the house, when we visited the notes were stuck all over the set and the pond was filled in where Mick's son nearly drowned.

[saddo emoticon]

Was Rod a bit tasty, or was that just my hormones?

And Jacki and Mike Dixon also had a younger brother that died. And Mike Dixon had a abby called josh with Bev who thought it was rons! his dads! Its confusing!!!
