Some are you are too young to remember the early days of brookie with The Grants and The corkhills. Even then they had some of the best storylines in soaps.

Brookie was the best soap ever, so many actors started off on it. They did stories better than any other - remember the incest story, brilliant stuff, not easy to watch but wonderfully done.

It's either Jackie Corkhill who works in the garage her daughter was Lyndsay who was talking in the lane with the little girl her daughter is kylie. The only other female to have a daughter is the lawyer with Katie her daughter was played by Lisa Faulkner, she was adopted as a baby but reunited.

Do you remember the family where Nate and his sister was wa in an incest relationship, There father started dating the lawyer after his marrige broke down. He was left with the young boy who helped Jimmy Corkhill become a teacher. Anyway Lisa Faulkner was the daughter that the lawyer gave up as a teenager. The laywer had a relationship with this eco-worrior protester in her teans. He got out of jail and tried to kill The laywer and her boyfreind on the moors during a camping trip.

It was a few years ago (maybe 5 ?), I don't remember the channel, it was aired late at night, that is why I videoed it, but did not check the tape :rolleyes: :crying:

*-Rooney-*
22-10-2008, 20:00
why dont i remember that~???
must have been longer than 5 yrs ago
remember when jimmy killed frank rogers on his wedding day along with tony dixon - those were during his druggie days (the best jimmie corkhill storylines)
:eek: Jimmy killed Frank Rogers and Tony Dixon? Don't remember that, but was not able to watch Brookie for quite a while. It might be the late night episodes I am referring to, as I said, not able to watch it all for a while and then the opportunity to see the last ever episode and I am too stupid to check the video tape :crying: :wall:

the next part has been put on! :cheer:
YouTube - Brookside - Explosion On The Parade - Part Two
A former Brookside actor has been charged with murder after a man was shot dead outside a Liverpool pub. :eek:
Brian Regan, 53, of St Mary's Road, Garston, who played Terry Sullivan in the soap, has also been charged with perverting the course of justice.
Bahman Faraji, 44, was killed in Aigburth on 24 February.
Two other men, Lee Dodson, 42, of Logfield Drive, Garston, and Edward Heffey, 40, of Beloe Street, Dingle, have also been charged with murder.
Mr Regan and Mr Dodson are due to appear before Liverpool magistrates later.
Mr Heffey appeared before magistrates earlier this month.
Brian Regan was part of a gang who murdered nightclub doorman Bahman Faraji, a courtroom has heard.
The former Brookside actor was charged with murder in April, along with three other men who were allegedly involved in the incident.
All four men deny murder.
Regan was accused of being the getaway driver in the crime, where Faraji was killed with a shotgun outside The Belgrave Pub, Liverpool in February.
The 53-year-old went on trial today at Liverpool Crown Court, along with the alleged gunman Edward Heffey, 41, as well as Lee Dodson, 42, and Simon Smart, 33.
Prosecutor Brian Cummings said that Fajari was "lured to his death" before being killed by a "shortened double barrelled shotgun".
Cummings said: "The prosecution allege that Edward Heffey was the gunman who actually shot the victim and that Brian Regan, by arrangement with Lee Dodson, drove Heffey to and from the scene of the shooting, fully aware of the purpose of Heffey's trip.
"As for Simon Smart, the prosecution allege that he orchestrated the murder from a safe distance, making telephone calls to the victim on the one hand and to Heffey on the other to make sure that the victim was in the right place at the right time, ready for Heffey to come and shoot him."
The former actor had previously said of the incident: "I have done nothing wrong and I didn't do anything willingly."
Regan played Terry Sullivan in the Channel 4 soap from 1982 to 1997.
Former Brookside star Brian Regan has been cleared of a gangland murder.
The 54-year-old was however jailed for four years and ten months for his role in the shooting of 44-year-old nightclub doorman Bahman Faraji.
Regan, who drove the getaway car, was convicted for two counts of perverting the course of justice by lying to police and disposing of a pair of gloves he wore on the night of the killing.
Sent to prison on January 25, judge Nicola Davies has only now disclosed the facts of the case to avoid prejudicing the trial of another defendant, Jason Gabbana, who on Thursday was convicted of murder.
The former soap actor told the court that he was addicted to cocaine and had started dealing the class-A drug at the time of the incident.
Regan, who starred as Terry Sullivan in the Channel 4 serial between 1982 and 1997, was charged in connection with the killing last April.
His trial began in October.
Claire Sweeney has said that Brookside should have never been cancelled.
The Liverpool-set soap ran from 1982 to 2003 and Sweeney played Lindsey Corkhill from 1991 to 2001, before returning for the final episode.
"I don't think it should ever have been decommissioned," the actress told Digital Spy of the show.
"It was groundbreaking drama. You get new controllers who come in who want to make their name and it got dropped, which was such a shame."
Asked if she was proud of her work on the show, Sweeney added: "Oh God yeah, really proud.
"[Creator] Phil Redmond - he was fantastic. His work and the team of writers he had on board, like Jimmy McGovern. And wonderful actors and writers on board. I'm so proud to have been part of it."
Asked if any of her character's storylines will feature in the planned Brookside 30th anniversary DVD, she said: "I hope so, I keep getting tweets about it.
"I really, really hope so. It's a massive part of my life Brookside, and I probably wouldn't be here talking to you if it wasn't for Brookside."
Of reports a few years ago that she may appear in Hollyoaks, Sweeney laughed: "Aye, I read that one, I didn't know about it until I read it!
"Who knows - if it was a nice part and good, gritty role, you never know!"
Paul Burrell has claimed that Brookside was Princess Diana's favourite TV programme.
The Princess of Wales's former butler attempted to refute the 'myth' that EastEnders was Diana's best-loved show.
Burrell, speaking a month after the 15th anniversary of the royal's death, told the Huffington Post: "Brookside was her favourite and she met most of the cast.
"She went to the set of Brookside and got to know some of the cast very well, especially Dean Sullivan, who played Jimmy Corkhill on the show. He became a friend, who she regularly telephoned."
Regarding the princess's supposed thoughts on EastEnders, Burrell commented: "Maybe in the very beginning she did tune into it, but it wasn't something that she would want to watch regularly."
The 54-year-old, who last grabbed the public's attention during his stint on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2004, also spoke candidly about his friendship with EastEnders actress Barbara Windsor.
"When Barbara Windsor first joined EastEnders, she used to read bedtime stories to my boys at Kensington Palace. She used to come to see my boys when they were about 10 and 7," Burrell recalled.
"They were fully aware of who she was. She's charming. Barbara is still a good friend of mine. We've had a lot of fun."
