I am firmly of the opinion that there is definitely something wrong with
Mick.

This explains a lot about me. I thought it was the heavy drinking, the
late hours, the barking mad women, the lying around in bed reading novels and
eating Nescafe out of a jar with the spoon. But it's because of the Mac.

Just caught the end of the brookside where Jenny stripped off and good old
Mick said no ta and Jenny gave him a 'I'm gonna rip your fucking heart out"
look. Dont know if I've missed any more but all I can say is....
"Here we go again!!!!!"
Let me guess. The story line will be as follows. Mick goes about his business
as usual while Jenny, who has managed to hide her 10 years in prison for
cutting off her boyfiend's penis for not sending her a valentine card, will
suddenly get possessed by the devil on a judgement day scale. Mick's son will
be "accidentally" set on fire during a chemistry experiment (vis. Jenny
laughing hysterically at his smouldering remains). The daughter will end up
in Mick's pizza oven (vis. Jimmy Corkhill complaining about the topping) and
finally Mick... Well who knows how the devious mind of Phil Redmond works?

Weirdly enough, I find this all too realistic. Some years back, a woman
that my flatmate had met at the house of one of our friends came round
to visit. He popped through to the kitchen to make tea, and when he got
back to his room, she was doing a Jenny Swift.
My flatmate, not being one to worry about the tea getting cold when gift
horses are lining up, took a more proactive stance than Mick the pizza
dude. The woman concerned decided that it was True Love, and started
phoning incessantly. My flatmate decided that discretion was the better
part of valour, and decided that we should answer the phone and say he
wasn't in. In short order this became answering the door and saying he
wasn't in. Eventually, we drew the line and ordered him to sort it out.
About six months later, a friend was visiting from abroad and while out,
we bumped into this woman, again with my friend. This time I saw the
action. She did everything possible bar actually removing her clothes to
throw herself at my visitor and inveigled herself into our taxi when we
went home, thus continuing her campaign over coffee at my place.
Fortunately my visitor had twigged that something was amiss and when she
popped out as a result of the coffee, suggested I call a taxi so that
she could return home. Once she realised I'd done this, we got the
Emotional Scene From Hell.
In the end, the taxi left sans woman, my visitor retired, and I was left
to explain the inappropriateness of her behaviour. It was a long night,
though thankfully without further weirdness, and there were, as it
turned out, tragic reasons behind the whole thing and it seemed to me
that she was a nice woman caught up in emotions beyond her control as a
result of what had happened to her. Nevertheless, from that experience,
I'd say the scriptwriters have it fairly spot on, even down to Mick
feeling intimidated.

Sounds plausible - she;s the hanger-on from hell isn't she? Mind you Leo needs

You sure your mate wasnt being followed around by a bunch of people with
cameras and sound equipment and his name wasnt something like Carl Banks
or Rod Dixon?
Well, I suppose these things do actually happen in real life but do they all
have to happen in brookside close with only 6 houses? I read somewhere that
the number of deaths in the soap has been extraordinary. I can only remember a
few ...
Timeshare salesman,
Bing Crosby's fancy woman,
and Mick's mate's son - deadly virus (confined to the close!)
Simon the Wacko-Preacher - Gassed in Barry's Jeep. Door closed by Barry!
Mandy Jordache's hubby - knife in the back... Release the Brookside Two!
Rod Dixon's son - Wedding car crash - due to Jimmy 'Cokehead' Corkhill
Terri's wife and daughter - Pushed off a building by Barry
Damon Grant - Stabbed to death elsewhere (out of show)
Anyone care to add to this list?

One of the first guys to move in died quite soon after the show started.
His wife committed suicide not long after. Then there was the nurse who
got shot by the psycho in the siege. Someone (Matty's wife?) jumped off
the ferry and topped themselves.
It's a dangerous place for a cul de sac.

Ah, but I can explain it all.
When I was visiting my parents a couple of months ago I happened to notice
my mother was watching Brookie repeats on one of the cable channels. It
happened to be the episode in which Petra's husband Gavin karked it.
(did anyone mention him?)
