I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts.Like you, I had quite a bundle of episodes to catch up on when I first joined in, and it took a lot less time than I'd have expected. Now that I've caught up and am rationed to five new episodes per week I envy you having all those episodes ahead of you.Great. One thing Brookside isn't short of is terrific characters. I'm sure you're starting to get to know most already, but you've got some fantastic stuff ahead of you.There is a political vein that runs through the series and that aspect doesn't go away anytime soon. In some ways it's a fascinating little time capsule of an era when a lot of significant things were happening, Some of the union stuff initially began to lose me at times but because it's important to the characters, it's become more meaningful to me.Yes - setting it on a newly-built housing development really gives this series a USP because we see the community coming together, with pretty much all the homes like separate little islands to begin.The new arrivals are deliberately paced to a realistic level for the time, and I commented as I watched that it was fascinating to see the change to the dynamics each time someone new arrived.Yes - it really set the precedent and I think raised the game for soap from that point on.Enjoy your next batch of episodes. It'll be good to follow your journey.</blockquote>
