Jennifer Ellison who played Emily, won Hells Kitchen and also started a singing career, but which unfortunately doesn't seem to have lasted very long. Oh, and also the woman who played Diane Murray's mum (Brigid) is now in Emmerdale, currently playing Pearl.

I want to see Jimmy (Dean Sullivan) in something!

Treacle

Dean Sullivan has taken over the Brookside website with his Hey Jimmy thing.

I think taking the website away and giving it to him was pointless.

That's if it is him who is actually putting stuff on the site lol. Nothing surprises me.

Annette Eckblom who played Debbie Gordon recently appeared in Holby City (November 2004) playing the character of Carrie Markham in the "Moment Of Truth" episode. Annette's daughter Amelia Warner (Lorna Doone) was also briefly married to Irish actor Colin Farrell back in 2001. She was later divorced in November of the same year. Probably something to do with the slight age gap. She was 19 & he was 25.

The actress who plays Tess in Casualty was in Brookie as Mick Johnsons 1st wife, and they now play husband and wife again in Casualty.
In Holby City the guy that plays Owen was in Brookie, he was Jennifer Ellisons dad and the actress that plays his wife in Holby City was also in Brookie, she lived with the doctor chap and the solicitor that Jacqui Dixon was to marry.
Dont forget Clare Sweeney - Lindsay Corkhill, also the actress that played Patricia Farnham was in Family Affairs also The blonde actress in Murder in Surburbia cant remember her name was in Brookie, she had piercings in her nose etc.. And the nurse from Angels or No Angels what ever its called was the nurse in Brookie who had the affair with the doctor who came from Hollyoaks - I was a big Brookie fan!!!!

The nurse in "No Angels" it's Sunetra Sarker and her character was called Nisha.

I mentioned Claire Sweeney I think already :)

Of course Gabrielle Glaister turned up in Family Affairs after playing Patricia Farnham.

Mark Moraghan is the name of the actor who plays Owen in Holby City and his wife is played by Patricia Potter, both were in Brookie yeah.

Treacle

She played Leanne and her best moment perhaps was blinding Jacqui Dixon for a while with some kind of spray when they had a fight in Bar Brookie.

The actress is called Vickie Gates.
