I remember probably three of the four arriving and of course I'm aware of the Ferreiras, but the fact that it's only happened an average of once a decade really sheds light on how difficult this is to pull off. Yes. It's kind of Brookside's "thing", and I enjoyed the change of energy that came when people started arriving at the empty houses at the beginning. And on paper a group of shared tenants is a really interesting choice as it adds diversity to the lifestyles on-screen. Thinking about it you're absolutely right. This makes it sad that we're now at that point, but it's a good reminder to me to savour this one. Pat always reminded me very much of George Michael, so I really get what you're saying. That photo actually does look like a George lookalike with his Pepsi & Shirley. You're so right that it's a very different vibe from anything else seen up to that point, but it's all so surface and vapid. Compare that with Heather who is young,  extremely stylish and absolutely stunning but has never actually been defined by that because she was so substantial. Oh - that sounds wild, and certainly a good reason for missing out on the siege. This is brilliant. I love when an era has these little fragments captured in this kind of way that links them by association and embeds them as representative of a time and place. Yes. I must confess I felt a little disappointed that even a Jimmy Mac script couldn't grip me for this scene. I can totally see that, yes. Oh, this is sad news. I wouldn't have known if you hadn't said. Oh - of course. Mr Robson. He's one of the teachers I remember best but I've never actually twigged that this was the same actor. And I'm very much looking forward to it. I like that even as the heaviness was happening there were these threads of levity woven in. Like Damon's actually séance taking place while the hostage situation was underway.  Yes, I got a lump in my throat when I realised it. Damon's certainly one of those characters that speaks to my heart.</blockquote>
