Who do you think would still be there? I think Jimmy definitely. Jacqui, Max, and maybe Bev, Rachel and Mike. I think Ron would have left by now.

Also I think the Murrays would have moved away eventually, they had too many memories to stay there.

It'd probably the fifth soap and in between Hollyoaks and Doctors in ranking tbh

Jacqui Dixon was a strong character.
What happened to Jackie Corkhill, did she leave before the end? |

I think Barry Grant would have returned. I would have loved to have seen all the Grants eventually return, apart from Damon of course who had been killed.
I still miss Brookie. It was the only soap I ever really got involved with. |

Jerome and Leo Johnson hopefully would have stuck around...
I think the eldest Gordon daughter (Ruth was it?) would have maybe stayed on with her son Luke and her fella (Barry Sloane who later played Niall in Hollyoaks) I would imagine Max and Jaqui too, oh and Nisha, Katie and that Dr Parr? (Ben Hull) ... I'd also add Sammy Rogers as sticking around even as a semi regular ...loved Sammy ... |

Jackie Corkhill left a couple of years before the end. I'd say she would have come back at some point though. If it had continued, I'd say we might have seen a few more crossovers between it and Hollyoaks. I'd also imagine that we would have seen a few of the more recognisable actors from the Family Affairs cast showing up after it sank in 2005.

Brookside characters also sometimes talked about nights out at "The Loft" in Chester.
Max Farnham left during the final few months of Brookside. Like many characters at that time, he wasn't given an exit but just no longer featured on screen. He was always 'away on business' or similar excuses. |

I still miss Brookie. It was the only soap I ever really got involved with. Sheila might have returned at some stage in a guest stint for a episode or two (she made one or two appearances in one or two VHS Brookie spin-offs) but given Sue Johnston's very successful subsequent acting career, I don't think it would have been a long return. Barry's sisters Karen and Claire might have re-appeared both (especially baby Claire) probably recast. |

Tim "Tinhead" O'Leary and Steve Murray I could see still being around.
Mick Johnson and/or Sinbad could have returned. Jimmy would still be there and probably Nikki Shadwick.
