A number of Brookside storylines predicted the future, according to two of the soap's stars.
Claire Sweeney, who played Lindsey Corkhill, and Mick Johnson actor Louis Emerick appeared on ITV's Lorraine on Tuesday as the soap returns to our screens for the first time in 20 years.
Set in a Liverpool cul-de-sac, the soap was created by Phil Redmond, who was also one of the people behind Grange Hill and Hollyoaks. Brookside drew audiences of nine million viewers at its peak. Now, all the original episodes of Brookside will finally return to screens – on free streaming service, STV Player.
