I'm still not sure whether I'm going to watch the last episode as like you and the rest of its viewers think it has been going dramatically downhill for years. I think I've watched about three episodes since it moved to the graveyard slot.
I did however have the pleasure of meeting Dean Sullivan (Jimmy Corkhill) and Nicky Shadwick (can't remember her real name - stunningly beautiful in real life) at an after show bash of a charity Xmas concert.
Dean/Jimmy was lovely and exactly like his character. He gave me a luvvy kiss and then got on his soapbox. We started talking about websites (Jimmy is the only person on the close with Internet access) and the internet and I had the pleasure of drunkenly introducing him to Richard Whiteley - "Dean, I'm sure you know Richard" I slurred.
Anyway I digress. I will miss the eighties and nineties Brookside, but the new millenium Brookside is best forgetton.

yes! the magic rabbits! I stopped watching brookie about a year and a half ago - but god, I loved those completely improbable story lines. I used to wonder why, when phoning 999, the character always gave directions. Surely the emergancy services know where brookside close is by now?

Ohhh dear, this is obviously the work of a very deluded individual.
Never my thing really, and there was no excuse for that awful pun either!

Deluded? Oh, I don't think so. I stopped watching in 1999, so I like to think that my contribution to declining viewing figures helped kill the programme off in the end.

Hmm, suppose it's a bit sad though I haven't watched it for nearly ten years. I remember the thrill of the early episodes as it was so different to Corrie.... and we didn't have 'stenders...Eeee and that first episode in black and white (it was for us!) in Brixton just after leaving Uni.... a tear to my eye.

Ee and I've just remembered how Nancy Banks Smith described those first three households as the Harrods (Collins), Habitats (Havershams) and Hooligans (Grants). Heh, heh.
Well, I liked it.

Happy to have never knowingly watched a single episode

Ahh eh, Brookie used to be a great show - Karen Grant listening to her Smiths records, Barry and Terry comparing perms. It all went a bit odd after the body under the patio storyline, though.
