Message: <blockquote data-quote="soapfan" data-source="post: 426632" data-attributes="member: 354">I sometimes wonder with the soaps reflecting real life,  Max Farnham mentioned West Derby in a Brookside episode once, I wonder how he'd have fitted into 1980s Brookside also and the postcode in Brookside is L12, similar to how EastEnders E20 postcode became a real life postcode also with the Olympic Torch being brought in with Olympic Park, and as for Coronation Street, if the Royal Mail similarly to London were to create the M10 postcode area within the M40 postcode area of Manchester with a mention of Collyhurst/Miles Platting/Moston or Newton Heath during an episode of Coronation Street also if to reflect real life, or whether Liverpool's City Council would have demolished Brookside Close eventually after the show ended similar to how Archie Street in Salford was demolished which was the inspiration behind Coronation Street, and how Fassett Square in Hackney/East London was the inspiration behind EastEnders. Coronation Street was always the wayward sibling of Brookside and became too dark and gritty eventually and broke against its traditions, whereas Brookside needed to go for earlier timeslots around 6:00pm-7:30pm and sticking to how it was in the 1980s WITHOUT the Parade shopping precinct with how it all eventually became during 1991-2003 with it being cancelled altogether.The MAIN road that the entire Brookside soap was situated on was Deysbrook Lane, otherwise there's only several other roads on that main road Deysbrook Lane alone, aside from Brookside/Brookside Close.</blockquote>
