When Did You First Watch It?

[Bryan]

I was wondering how long youve all been watching Family Affairs for...anyone been with it since day one?

[Jada-GDR]

nope, i only started watching it after the british soap awards 2005 cause it looked good :D

[Bryan]

i watched it since the interacitve vote, and then got glued with pete/eileen and the costellos...oh my what a great storyline that child abuse storyline was! did the show proud!

[Luna]

i watched it at the begining form the very first episode and then stopped soon after they killed off the hart familly :crying:

i wish id been there form the start to see the hart family...apparantly loads of good actors were in that family...id have loved to have seen the transformation from one family to a whole cast!

[Luna]

oh and maria who could forgot maria she was brilliant

[Bryan]

oh and maria who could forgot maria she was brilliant

why was she brilliant...come on fill me in on all those years i missed of charnam... :D

[Luna]

well i think it started offf with her sleeping with the son then the grandfather and then the father!!! after they all died she married a man called serg and told him she was pregnant stole a baby from the hospital and brought it home claiming it was hers even though (if i remember correctly) she was months early!!!

She was also the ex wife of pete callan

you can now see her on channel 890 on telewest doing the demonstrations for the box tops lol

[Bryan]

oh my god she sounds fantastic! i want a maria!!!!

if she was connected to pete Callan then she has to be great

another of Pete's wives: Siopbhan...was played by Gemma Walker, who played Sasha Perkins in Eastenders, theres todays random fact of the day :D

[Bryan]

just been doing my research on the actress that plays maria and she played sue sullivan in brookside: Terry's wife who got pushed off scaffolding by Barry Grant!

[Luna]

yup forgot to mention that lol

[Bryan]

yup forgot to mention that lol

i loved that storyline! not that i was around but ive read it alll about it and seen loads of clips...i wish i was born iun the 70s so i could have watched brookside and eastenders from the start in the 80s! :D
