- The soap centered around the residents of Brookside Close, a crappy cul-de-sac located in the leafy suburbs of the beautiful romantic city of Liverpool. Legendary characters that appeared in Brookie include Bobby, Barry, Jimmy, Ron, Sinbad, Trevor, Beth, Terry, Tinhead, Emily and many more! Even Lily Savage and Carol Smillie made cameos too!
- When they weren't fighting secretly in the basement, the residents of Brookside played Bingo.
- When Solmyr leaves the service of king Gavin Magnus, unable to deal with the way the Rainbow Crystal robs people of their free will, he tries to locate general Tharj Orcsplitter. He hopes the dwarf can help him find queen Emilia Nighthaven, so Solmyr can join her forces. The guards who protect general Tharj are unwilling to let him pass until he defeats the crystal-hypnotized town of Brookside, who have caused a lot of trouble for Emilia's troops. Solmyr captures the town, proving to Tharj's men that he means what he says.
- Brookside became very successful for a number of years and is notable for its tackling of realistic and socially challenging storylines. It was at its most popular in the 1980s and the early 1990s. From the mid-1990s it began raising more controversial subjects under the guidance of new producers such as Mal Young and Paul Marquess.

- Brookside became very successful for a number of years and is notable for its tackling of realistic and socially challenging storylines. It was at its most popular in the 1980s and the early 1990s. From the mid-1990s it began raising more controversial subjects under the guidance of new producers such as Mal Young and Paul Marquess. It is especially well known for broadcasting the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss on British television in 1994, as well as a powerful domestic abuse storyline resulting in murder. The series caused an uproar when it featured a storyline of a consensual incestuous sexual relationship between two sibling characters during 1996. Brookside was also the first British soap to feature an openly gay character when Gordon Collins came out in 1985, and it was also the first to depict serious drug addiction with a number of different characters. Although the series had a long and successful run, by 2000 its viewing figures were in terminal decline and low ratings eventually led to its cancellation in 2003. The final episode was broadcast on 4 November 2003 and was watched by around 2 million viewers. The first episode of Brookside was repeated as part of Channel 4 at 25 on 1 October 2007. The episode aired on More4 in a season of celebratory Channel 4 programmes to mark the channel's first quarter century. Several classic episodes have also been available to view on 4oD, an online service, since 2009. After years of campaigning by fans, a special DVD was released at the end of November 2012, just over 30 years after the series originally began, titled Brookside Most Memorable Moments. It features clips and episodes from every year of the programme's 21 year history.
