FORMER Brookside star Dean Sullivan — who played badboy Jimmy Corkhill — wants to buy all the houses on the set and revive the soap.

Yesterday Dean revealed he was hoping to get a loan for £600,000 to buy the 13 houses at auction next week.

Dean, 53, said: “I have it on good authority that Brookside is coming back.”

The actor was also seen out to dinner with his some of his former co-stars, including screen wife Jackie (Sue Jenkins) and Sinbad actor Michael Sweeney.

A drop in viewers made Channel 4 pull the soap in 2003 after 21 years.
