Same here, grew up on this and have been binge watching getting me through a bad time. Trying not to get through it to quick though as I don't want it to end 😂
@@DonCHFC1875 I’ve only just seen your comment. I can’t believe mine was 2 months ago, that’s when my breakup started. I thought I’d be over it by now but everyday has got worse 😢 so I keep coming back to brookside it really helps
The producers threw budgetary caution to the wind with these Christmas and New Year episodes - They actually paid the publishers to use The Shoop Shoop Song - _again_ - for Lindsay to crucify on stage on New Years Eve. 😂
Two Coats (24th December - Christmas Eve 1997) For Our Lindsey (26th December - Boxing Day 1997) Get Rid Of Her (30th December 1997) New Year's Kiss (31st December - New Year's Eve 1997) Please Give Up (2nd January 1998)
Watching these consecutively watching Lindsey Corkhill turn from a cardigan wearing smiley mousey downtrodden wife then love struck puppy with Mike and her acting was really really shaky …. Now seeing her ( especially after the lost weekend) turn into a hard faced mouthy gangster side chick who thinks nothing of being kidnapped a few times lol ( she was a total mess after she got back from Bangkok prison could barely speak or leave the house ) that’s some character development in a short time lol 😂 Bangkok must have really changed her
I agree 100%. There were problems happening behind the scenes as well. I've put a comment under another video about this, but it's relevant here as well to compliment your accurate summary of the disaster that was Lindsey Corkhill Stanlow. Phil Redmond absolutely adored Claire Sweeney, but the problem was that viewers didn't take to her character. In her early incarnation as a down-trodden wife who sang a Cher song and was a victim of domestic abuse, the audience still didn't feel any sympathy or warmth towards her, and her popularity didn't increase. In previous circumstances like this, Redmond would just order the character to be written out, however, in the case of Lindsay, it was literally: I don't care what you do, just make it work.... They couldn't, so the writers sent Lindsey on the dizzying character development trajectory you described above - but literally nothing worked. _Nothing_ ... They put her with Mike, Barry, and then gave her number 9 to live in with Peter. They turned her bisexual. They gave her a health club and spa, as well as a loaded gun, but all these storylines did was make Lindsey even more unlikeable than she was before. After Claire Sweeney did well on Big Brother and decided to leave Brookside, the writers celebrated because it meant they longer had to come up with storylines for her, knowing they'd all fall flat, and put the character in yet more preposterous situations to make her more interesting. This is why the Lindsay Corkhill character went from one extreme to the other. It was the writers trying to find a direction that worked for the character that played to the actresses skills, but it never, ever, worked.
@@dieselgav I couldn’t agree more ! I don’t really warm to Claire ‘smiley’ Sweeney to be honest but do appreciate her time on Brookside it just…. Didn’t feel right it felt like a character for the sake of a character that just had stories randomly thrown at her and I could accept that with a character and actress I liked but I fear this is a technique used for characters in soaps a lot now and it doesn’t work it never has
These are getting me through a really hard time, they take me back to my teenage years when I was still living at home safe and secure! So thank you 🙏

You can’t beat a bit of Brookie!
The cast and crew waving in the end credits.
“Needed one for best”! My childhood in one sentence!
You’re amazing my friend, thank you so much for the upload 😊❤
I loved it when Barry was in it. X
I've went from rooting for Barry saving Lynsey in The Lost Weekend to wishing he just left her in the shipping container...
😂😂 this made me laugh so much. I agree I wish he’d left her arse in there too!
Paul Usher brings some humanity into the character Barry White which makes him somehow likeable.
really? he doesn't come across as likeable at all for me.
Haha Barry White's the soul singer. You mean Barry Grant 😜
Barry White, eh?
😂😂😂🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Rest in peace crackers you beautiful staffie poor Jimmy 😢
Love ole Cracks
Characters come and go, but there’s only one Cracker Corkhill.
Mo turns up (again) and Jimmy doesn’t ask how Rosie and Eddie are.
Who cares?

Why has Lindsey Corkhill or Stanlow, only got 1 song? Lol.
That's all she knows.
Also love it when they have that same song in the background for years and years.
@@DonCHFC1875You wha? That's because those scallywags are being soft on the budget.
Now aye aye Bing, don’t be trapping off with Molly behind Ron’s back
58:22 Barry would end up kidnapping Jimmy again, in Brookside’s final episode.
