thread_title: It's All Over

message: Could someone answer my question? At what times did Brookside regularly air its episodes?
:In the good old days, wasn't it 8:30? I think it started Mon/Tues, then Mon/Wed/Fri. It changed days  a few times, tho, even before they started really playing musical schedules with it. The JPS 01:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This article is in dire need of cleanup. Some suggestions:
*use inline citations for references. Rather than a list of references at the end, use put URL/etc here
*avoid hyperbole and point of view.
*the article has been treat like a scrap book: bits thrown in with little cohesion.
*Take a look at EastEnders -- it's a pretty good article, and you should use it as a model.

thread_title:  Cleanup needed 

message: Dean Sullivan{Jimmy Corkhill}said on his radio show City Talk that he has heard from the horses mouth that Brookside is coming back.
What exactly does this involve?  A revival or just reruns of the old eps?  Did he give any details? --Dominar_Rygel_XVI (talk) 18:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Return? 

message: I have edited this reference, as in the sentence after the practice is described as unprecedented, two previous examples (or indeed precedents!) are given. Smurfmeister (talk) 14:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Unprecedented" storyline leak to the tabloids

message: Brookside's most famous storyline happened in 1993, with the story of wife beater and child abuser Trevor Jordache (Bryan Murray). 
Perhaps this was the most famous.  It was certainly one of the most famous.  Not sure it was particularly more famous than the rape of Sheila Grant, the murder of Damon Grant, the Sue Sullivan incident on the scaffolding, the Beth Jordache lesbian affair, the Terry Sullivan religious cult bomb plot were all about as famous.  No objections if I reword it a little? Mtaylor848 (talk) 08:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No objetions, I suppose 'most famous' would need some sort of verification to back it up, but I do agree with the statement. When the general public at large think Brookside I'll bet most would say 'body under the patio'. Along those same lines I think you're also right that the rest would think 'lesbian kiss' - it's probably the most overplayed clip of the show's history. The other storylines, although massive would only be remembered by fans of the show in my opinion. Ooh, Fruity  Ooh, Chatty  11:44, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not sure I would agree with this 

message: i never heard this before and i think it would be WRONG to include such a bold statement in the fist sentence brackets especially if i turns out which it will that is it an outwrite LIE. can it be asertaned? otherwise i delete it, no.

replies: text: Two more references added now for your pleasure, the BBC one alone is sufficient enough. As a side note, just because you've not heard of it doesn't mean it's wrong, and if something isn't referenced it's not your job to prompt others to do it when you could easily do it yourself.

replies: text: I don't know where lusty roars was when Brookside airs because everyone I know said "Brookie is on" or "did you watch brookie last night"... and User fruity certainly proved it.RAIN..the..ONE HOTLINE 17:09, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: often affectionately referred to as brookie?

message: Can we remove the part about the petition to bring back the show or something that "may have an effect"? I removed it but somebody put it back in. Petitions like these rarely do anything and just amounts to the fact that many fans want it back. This is far from notable. Kansan (talk) 18:14, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There's some idiot admin called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arjayay who doesn't know the difference between is and was. 
3 different people recently (including me) have correctly changed:
"Brookside is a British soap opera" to
"Brookside was a British soap opera"
As it's no longer on TV and hasn't been since 2003.
Yet Arjayay insists he's right and is going around threatening people with block threats when they change it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:81.130.150.51  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danstarr69 (talk • contribs) 03:46, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: ... Um, you're doing "is" and "was" wrong. Statement: "Brookside was a soap." Response: "So what is it now if it is no longer a soap..?" Er, it's still a soap, albeit one that is currently off air. Neil S. Walker (talk) 10:11, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brookside WAS a British soap, like other shows that were previously on TV but aren't anymore.
