Very sad. Caught this video by chance. Makes you realise how old you are getting. I’m thinking of all my loved ones that I’ve lost . People I would sit with and watch Brookside with . Especially my mum who I adored and my darling husband who also died too young. 😢
Sorry for your loss. I loved Brookside in the eighties and early nineties. I watched every episode and often again when the omnibus was on every Saturday. I was not allowed to watch it until 1984 once Channel 4 had responded to the complaints about swearing and it supposedly being a bad influence on society. Compared to today it was extremely tame. I am watching the re-run on STV having postponed it for over a year so I am watching a few hours at a time to ensure I finish it in a few months. I cannot believe I am watching television from forty years ago and it is as good as I remembered it for the most part. It ebbs and flows but this is also what I thought at the time. There is a lot of good acting, some less so. I cannot believe how grim the eighties looked at times though it was only thirty five years since the end of the war when the decade began so it is not surprising. The cars look so old fashioned as does the decor in the houses. I loved the theme music then and still do- the opening as well as the close out credits.
@ I’d go back to those times in a heartbeat . Happy carefree times. Plus all our loved ones we’ve lost would still be here. . Enjoy the rest of the series.x
Can relate my mum passed away earlier this year , good and bad days, we will all have to cope with grief at some point, welling up writing this , stay strong
@@johnou.k.3780 After my husband died suddenly 20 yrs ago . I swore I’d would never marry again as I didn’t want to suffer that kind of grief again. My husband was only in his 40s when he died. Over the those 20 year I spent more and more time with my mum , she was like my best friend . When she died 2 yrs ago , her death affected me more than I ever thought possible . I miss her every day . I know the pain you are going through . What I do is still and always think of her in the present and not the past , she’s with me always . Unfortunately I can’t see her or kiss , her beautiful soft skin or hear her telling me on a cold day when I would pick her up to go shopping , “ Where’s you hat and gloves, it’s cold outside” …. I haven’t worn a hat and gloves since I was about 10. Now look up to the sky on a cold day when I’m out and say “ I’m ok mum , don’t worry . I’m warm and cosy and still don’t need a hat and gloves. Love you mum . X
So sad and scary, I’m older than many of them no longer here. I met Gladys Ambrose at a charity football match I was part of and she was the most down to earth person there. Ive pictures of her and me and she even broke into character for me. RIP ❤
would not be the same anymore brookie in it day had so many locals in the cast now it would be none locals jimmy cookhill made brookside sinbad the window cleaner tin ed clair sweeney there was not a soap like it or that is still on to this day that had locals in it hollyoaks tried as some where in brookside now there from all over the place ok you had bread but they where mostly jarg scouses
I remember Ian Hendry from the film 'Theatre of Blood' ; he had throat cancer whilst appearing on Brookside and it was his last TV role as far as I know..
Remember him playing the gangster's driver in Get Carter. Michael Caine sez to him "You know what? Eric. Did anyone ever tell you you've got eyes like two pissholes in the snow"
RIP to all these old familiar faces. Scary watching this type of video sometimes and realising retirement and feet up for a few years isn't a sure thing for all of us.
Remember when working in the Radio and TV department of a departmental store and most of my work colleagues would watch this in the office on Saturday at the time of cashing up. That was '84. I never really got into it but I recognise many faces of those now gone.
I loved Brookie and was truly disappointed when the series ended in 2003. All the deaths are sad and more so because many passed on quite young. Poor Kristian Ealey only got 38 years of life whilst my favourite, Kenneth Cope was allotted 93 years. Thanks for the entertainment, Mary Tamm, Dean Sullivan, Bernie Nolan, Bill Dean, Doreen Sloane, Gladys Ambrose, John Burgess, Ian Hendry, Ebony Gray and everyone in this special video. 🌷🥀🥀🌹🌹🌺🌺🌼🌼🏵🏵🌷.
Didn't know Freddie Boardley had left us. He made a living playing Glasgow hard men. He used to advertise Mcewans Export with Karl Howman and came to a sticky end in Taggart
Never knew that the character out of Emmerdale Farm starred in Brookside. She was so beautiful in Brookside. What saddens me is that all these actors were so reletively young. Is it worth going into Acting and singing and your life is cut so short.
I remember when Doreen Sloane died, the first of the cast? Seemed the writers didn’t have much time to write her out. So sad so many died well before their 3 score and 10.
@@mickwillis6981 there not wrong mick alot of them did sadly die of cancer do the neighboughs home and away orignal cell block h corrie east enders emmadale think about it too how so many cast members have died of a cancer or heart issues watch the other rip videos you wont be saying rubbish then
I remember them all and sad to say the least and a reminder perhaps of our own mortality. Each one of those bought something to ours scenes and lives even if only in entertainment. RIP
I loved Brookside used to watch it religiously Barry was my favourite so sad to see soo many lives lost everyone of them were a credit to the show. May we all meet in Heaven one day
The series ended 22 years ago. It's no great surprise that some of the cast are no longer alive. The actor Bill Dean, first left of the three photos would be 102 if still alive.
I remember Bill Green... He was Always Moaning about something, and I didn't like his Accent... I watched it for Many Years, but it's really sad to see people dying Off like that...😢 Happy Memories 😁✌️🕊️🙏💖💂🇬🇧🌹🍒
I’m watching the whole series on STV player ,I save the 5 weekly episodes for Saturday night ,but getting near time for Damon to get killed off ,,,dreading it tho he’s still alive on property shows now so I don’t need worry too much 🥴
I remember watching the very first episode of Brookside on channel 4. I think it was one of the first programs to be shown. Stopped watching when it got ridiculous (the siege)

Well said Tess❤
Loved brookside so sad to see how many folk have passed 💔🙏
So so many gone too soon. Really thought provoking. Brookside was so good in its hey day ❤
Brookside was such a pioneering drama. Well written, brave and well acted. RIP to those fabulous actors who have passed.
So many great memories of classic Brookside , I hadn't realised that several of those who acted in it had sadly passed.
@@TheHumbuckerboy The older we get the more people we lose..😥
@@jimmyodriscoll9273 Yes, sad but true
Used to love watching Brookside, especially the omnibus edition, so sad to see many of them die young
Fantasic show - sad to know we've lost so many who starred in it and many at no age at all😔
It’s unbelievable that so many died so young.
I was about to say that. Most are well below life exceptancy abd below 60. Its sad
So sad most died from cancer
So sad and scary, I’m older than many of them no longer here.
I met Gladys Ambrose at a charity football match I was part of and she was the most down to earth person there. Ive pictures of her and me and she even broke into character for me.
RIP ❤
Watched every episode.brilliant.miss you all.
Brilliant actors and actresses gone but never forgotten
Great memories..may they all RIP. Very well put together montage..great work 👍🏻
I love Brookside, have been watching since the early 80's. I now watch it on Stv every wednesday. Wish I could go back to those days 🙂
Sadly missed but never forgotten
Very Respectfully done 🌹
Couldnt agree more, such a breath of fresh air
Heartbreaking 💔 😢 thnx for video really interesting.
Wonderful, very respectful and accurate, no click bait nonsense or American AI narrations, wow, never thought it possible, well done, thank you.
Well said!
RIP very sad to lose wonderful everyday soap actors & actresses so young & many i did not realised had passed. Great character actors RIP
Jim Wiggins who played Paul Collins was my english teacher at Birchfield Road school in the mid 1960's .
A beautiful tribute to the many actors who starred in this groundbreaking drama. Thank you.
My favourite soap ever... Rip to all
AMEN. Truly devastated when Brookside was no more the whole family loved to watch 😊
Beautifully remembered 🎉😢
Am loving watching the old episodes again, great show ❤
Jimmy Corkhill was a fascinating character. Despicable yet there's a good person somewhere in there.
Went to brookside close last week almost the same..could easily be brought back to our screens
would not be the same anymore
brookie in it day had so many locals in the cast now it would be none locals
jimmy cookhill made brookside sinbad the window cleaner tin ed clair sweeney
there was not a soap like it or that is still on to this day that had locals in it hollyoaks tried as some where in brookside now there from all over the place
ok you had bread but they where mostly jarg scouses
Nice thought, but can you imagine the woke nightmare it would be now?, stopped watching Corrie 10 years ago, sheer lunacy.
Used to live around the corner. Loved it when I first realised the fact, as I was also a big fan of Brookside.
So many died from cancer. RIP
Yeah I noticed that.
I remember Ian Hendry from the film 'Theatre of Blood' ; he had throat cancer whilst appearing on Brookside and it was his last TV role as far as I know..
Theatre of Blood.What a fantastic film.
@@Desertwind-e8m Yes indeed, entertaining and clever from start to finish !
Love that film
@@joblesswideo-fb7nj Definitely one of my all-time favourites.
Remember him playing the gangster's driver in Get Carter. Michael Caine sez to him "You know what? Eric. Did anyone ever tell you you've got eyes like two pissholes in the snow"
The legacy of their work will live on forever and in generations to come. May they each rest in the arms of eternal peace

A very sad but well made vid
I loved it when Anabel Collins said darling couldn’t we call them cutlets instead of choos( priceless)😊😊
Dean sullivan forever ♥️ ❤️ 💙 we miss u
Anna Keaveney who played Marie Jackson to a T. Absolutely fantastic actress such a massive loss for the program when she left.
Loved it met some of the cast in past times
So sad some were not very old 😢 it was my favourite soap
Some great actors there....
cant remember mike the barman being in it from only fools and horses
i know he had passed tho
may there all rest on peace
Yes there was, a couple of terrible ones as well though , the kid that played Damon was awful and Jimmy Corkhill`s wife always fluffed her lines.
Awwww rip 🙏 to them all 😢very sad 😥
I didn't know half of them were gone
🙏🏾Jimmy corkil was a legend
I'm loving watching it on STV player all over again didn't realise so many of them had died and a staggering amount of them to cancer
Loved shirley stelfox in keeping up appearances and emmerdale
Same here - I also loved her in the film Pat and Margaret - The Terrible Vera
@williamf4544 oh yes i forgot she was in that she was brilliant in that film

To many gone to young loved brookie bk in the day RIP🇬🇧✌️
Didn't know Freddie Boardley had left us. He made a living playing Glasgow hard men. He used to advertise Mcewans Export with Karl Howman and came to a sticky end in Taggart
The Late GREAT Bill Dean, starred in so many plays and film’s always gave an outstanding performance…Wonderful Actor.
Can't believe the actor who played Jamie deid recently. He was only in his mid 50s.
Never knew that the character out of Emmerdale Farm starred in Brookside. She was so beautiful in Brookside. What saddens me is that all these actors were so reletively young. Is it worth going into Acting and singing and your life is cut so short.
I'm familiar many of the actors even though I've never watched a single episode.
Brookside currently on freeview STV
Bernie nolan was awesome as sheelagh murphy in the bill
and very good looking as well
its the the eyes and being irish as well loved her in brookie and the bill and had amazing voice as well
@garypring2658 i agree 100 percent
Her family was full of tragedy and cancer also their father was a nonce.
Jimmy was funny in brookside R i p ❤
I remember when Doreen Sloane died, the first of the cast? Seemed the writers didn’t have much time to write her out.
So sad so many died well before their 3 score and 10.
RIP many so young!😢
I'm sure Brookside was cursed most of which died of cancer RIP 🥀
What a load of rubbish.
@@mickwillis6981
there not wrong mick alot of them did sadly die of cancer
do the neighboughs home and away orignal cell block h corrie
east enders emmadale
think about it too
how so many cast members have died of a cancer or heart issues
watch the other rip videos you wont be saying rubbish then
The Legendary Bill Dean I just bought his autograph off eBay.
😂😂😂😂😂 definitely fake 😂
@Ryanjoned163 Genuine article signed on Blackpool's North Pier in 1983.
I remember them all and sad to say the least and a reminder perhaps of our own mortality. Each one of those bought something to ours scenes and lives even if only in entertainment.
RIP
I never realised The actor who played Matt Musgrove had died .Thats really sad .
Katrin Cartlidge was under rated actress, she was brilliant in the Mike Leigh film 'Naked' with David Thewlis.
Rip to all
Some of them so young. So sad.
Cancer takes so many lives I just hope one day we find the right cure..😥 We're going through it with my mum "Brain tumour"
🙏🙏🙏
my thoughts and preys are with your mum you and the family at this time
@@GazcoybUTFT Thank you so much..❤
I loved Brookside used to watch it religiously Barry was my favourite so sad to see soo many lives lost everyone of them were a credit to the show. May we all meet in Heaven one day
Eh, Barrrrry - come ‘ed like!
Very moving so many died so young You missed out Ray Dunbobbin who played Ralph, He was in the Liver Birds and a few Episodes in Porridge
Remember him signing on the dole in Green Lane in Liverpool in between Old Swan and Tuebrook.
So sad 😢
Rip and respect to all of them.
The untimely death of Doreen Sloane. The Collinses could have remained longer in the series had things been different.
Yes very sudden. I posted elsewhere I think she was the first cast member to die.
My dear friend Bernie...❤🙏
Alot of these also acted in other dramas films and sitcoms. ❤
Crazy how many died of cancer and at relatively young ages. Something ain't right.
Seemed like every other actor died of cancer.. so many taken too soon 😪
The series ended 22 years ago. It's no great surprise that some of the cast are no longer alive. The actor Bill Dean, first left of the three photos would be 102 if still alive.
Doreen Sloane was a beautiful looking vivacious woman ! . . . ❤
A few shocks in there
I remember Bill Green... He was Always Moaning about something, and I didn't like his Accent... I watched it for Many Years, but it's really sad to see people dying Off like that...😢 Happy Memories 😁✌️🕊️🙏💖💂🇬🇧🌹🍒
Shocking how many died young. Dean Sullivan was brilliant with his sinister, infiltrating voice
Thought that was Frank Carson in the thumbnail.
❤❤❤❤
Some were robbed of life way too early 🙏
No mention of ralph who moved in with harry cross
R.I.P to them all
You never know your last day.
Died on her birthday born 1st of October 194 died 1 October 2012
Only you Geoff only you ( Kenny Cope)
RIP.
Can't believe they took brookside of ch4 and now Stv or Scottish Television has brookside on. Stv player
Loved brookside don't know how it lost viewers and taken off TV shame
Makes you realise how many people die in their 50s and 60s.
Watched it avidly from beginning until there only seemed to be Jimmy left where it lost its way a bit. RIP. Some shocks in there.
Loved Brookside they took it off TV and gave us rubbish like Eastenders
Eastenders is crap but Brookside was even worse 🤣🤣
I’m watching the whole series on STV player ,I save the 5 weekly episodes for Saturday night ,but getting near time for Damon to get killed off ,,,dreading it tho he’s still alive on property shows now so I don’t need worry too much 🥴
Some frighteningly high cancer stats in that lot.
So many dying from cancer. It's a horrendous disease.
Gerard Kelly, I had no idea 😢
the Brookside curse.
So much cancer in the world!! 💔
I remember watching the very first episode of Brookside on channel 4. I think it was one of the first programs to be shown. Stopped watching when it got ridiculous (the siege)
We really needed to know that🛎️end
My sister died aged 28,so there is youbg ,and young
The Collins family are not doing well 😢
