While we can't seem to get any of our classic soaps to get the streaming treatment. In The U.K. however the viewers there will be able to see classic episodes of Brookside, Crossroads, Take The High Road and General Hospital (UK Version) on BritBox U.K. this July. 

 

Crossroads, Brookside and High Road join Britbox soap offering – ATV Today

Brooke side gets repeated from the beginning on STV Player… 

Even the press reported about it. 
 

I’m quiet surprised that they are making such a big deal about some repeats. They didn’t so something like this when EasyEnders, Corrie, ED started repeats on Drama Channel.

I think there is something bigger going on

I loved Brookside and even got the anniversary books and merch like I do from Hollyoaks! Shame that the 20th anniversary book was released and then 1 year later it was cancelled. Otherwise we would’ve had every damn year in that book lol just like Another world’s book is missing the last few months before the cancellation lol

People always say Brookside was the best soap etc. I watched like all 2915 episodes and disagree! It’s one hell of a good show but the best ? Nah. The last few years felt like what Hollyoaks felt from 2017 onwards lol 

I even tried comparing both soaps coz they are from the same guy. 
I came to the conclusion that Hollyoaks is the superior show tbh. But what Brookside did first before Corrie, Oaks is their campy dark and stunt story’s during the final few years like what the UK shows do now. They were ahead of their time. If they would’ve been on today with the stuff from 1998 til 2003 they would win awards and trash the others lol

Lindsey Corkhill was the prettiest and one of

my ultimate favorites but I hated how they turned her into such a action queen with a gun in her hands whenever the story wanted it

    • I have a feeling we won't truly be seeing their stories until the fall; right now, what they've inherited is the mess of the "writer", per their own admission.
    • This evil woman is really gonna frame Eva for Laura's attempted murder. Wow
    • I stopped watching Days for several months because the show was cartoonish and dumb as hell as written by Ron.  I starting watching again in March and I am happy to see improvements in the day to day scripts. However, Paula and Jeanne will need to start telling bold and intelligent stories to keep me watching.  Stephanie the romance novelist and Sarah's allergies aren't going to cut it for me. I'm sure Bo's return and John's death will be engaging and emotional but it will take strong long term stories to turn this show around. I really hope they can do it.
    • A partial episode from June 1985 was uploaded - I don't think it's been up before. You get Susan Marie Snyder's brief appearance. In a lengthy set piece where Rick is going undercover in some punk bar, he introduces himself to her. There's a surprising moment where when she says her name is Sam, he is thrown and is about to ask a very personal question before she further explains that it is short for Samantha. Grant Show is one of those guys who is classically very good looking, but I'm not sure how often I've ever actually felt attracted to him. This episode is an exception. He just looks hot as hell in what they put him in and how they do his hair and face. I can't say I go back to this period of the show very often, but I certainly am glad I watched this one.

    • I have no use for Derek but I was happy to see them exploring Naomi and Ashley's friendship again. More of that, please! I was stunned when Ashley asked Naomi about the Ted drama. We actually got a lot of interesting combos today. Tomas/Eva, Kat/Smitty, a rare Martin/Ted sighting and Vanessa/Nicole, among others. This was a good breather from all of the drama of the past few days. Because of pre-emptions I expected a random ending and not a proper cliffhanger but I literally jumped when I saw Leslie walk into Nicole's house! That was the perfect way to end things and along with the prevent, I'm excited to finally get back to a full 5 episodes next week!
    • I’m not going to take Dani seriously going off on Ted when she was willing to overlook all of Bill’s affairs in her own marriage and only got her feelings hurt when her ass was left. Absolutely hate that she’s getting a dedicated showcase scene like that - I think this is where MVJ’s personal friendship with Karla Mosley removes objectivity when writing for Dani as a character sometimes. 
    • @slick jones An episode (maybe the only episode?) of Susan Marie Snyder's Ryan's Hope stint has popped up. June 1985. Her character's name is Samantha. I'll post the video in the show's thread. 
    • Damn, Leslie is going to make Eva take the fall for Laura's accident!
    • Queen Leslie did look good barging in there though, lol
