How did Jacquie and max not get annoyed with the doctor about the meningitis. 3 pushchair sized children needed taking out for Rachel to get Beth to the surgery and viral meningitis is very infectious, they are really lucky their children didn't get it.

These later Brookside episodes are mostly new to me. I stopped watching in early 1999, when it suddenly became all about the inadequately established Shadwick's and Musgrove's and just went around in circles forever with the Nicky Shadwick drug r**e storyline. I'd sometimes take a quick look, see if things had improved, but it only got worse. Looking back, what strikes me most about this era are the filming techniques. There are way more cuts between different shots than there used to be, and it creates a disconnect with the viewer. Scenes used to be mostly shot on a single camera, with only minimal necessary secondary shots spliced in. By trying to be more fancy, they actually ruined the sense that you were the third person in the scene. Then they started adding incidental music and even more cinematic style camerawork, and it just didn't feel right. It lost that vital sense of realism which had been Brookside's trademark since the beginning. The irony is, the "improvements" they attempted were actually a significant contributing factor to what lost the audience.
Ron Dicko has more lives than a cat 😅😂
😂yeah I thought the same he had about 50 heart attacks

Mike is so unreasonable to Gary. I really don’t know how Rachel put up with him for so long
He's good looking though
And a terrible father to his son. Even worse because he's seeing first hand what's happening yet doing nothing or offering to help!
Oh shut up Mike!!
1:32:50 Ron murders Clint at the flashback!

“Attitude”. Or as the rest of us call it, “Splitting up”. What a nonsense conversation.
