I'm afraid i wasn't keen on Bev so no.

She was played by a good actress but other than her initial plot which led to the car crash which killed Frank and Tony and csatapaulted Jimmy into drug addiction, I never really saw the ooint of her.

But then I couldn't stand Ron either so...m

I loved Bev but she would be wasted on Hollyoaks.

I loved Bev too but I don't think she'd fit in at Hollyoaks. Watching episodes of Brookside on YouTube I preferred her in the 2000's when she had the bar and the problems with her son Josh. In the 1990's episodes she was vile quite a lot of the time, always gossiping about others and getting into fights. However, her comedy aspect was brilliant, such as wanting to be a singer and a model, and later on with Casa Bevron and Kiev the chicken was really funny.

Played by an excellent actress though. You don't really see many of the ex Brookside actors around much, the only significant one I can think of is Alex Fletcher (as Diane in Hollyoaks).

And Sue Johnston, Anna Friel, Amanda Burton, Nicola Stephenson, Sunetra Sarker and prior to their deaths Katrin Cartlidge and Alexandra Pigg.

I do agree that the actress that played Bev was excellent, i just didn't like the character. I'm afraid i never came round to finding her sympathetic in the 2000s after her initial stint when she really was awful.

It'd be great to see the actress again but with her stepdaughter now playing Diane,it wouldn't work as Bev. I loved Bev actually, when she had her chicken, Kiev, hilarious!

Those too but I was referring to the characters who were in the show at the end.

Yes I would also, judging by those Halifax adverts Tiffany Chapman looks exactly the same. Would love to see her in Hollyoaks too.

She was in hollyoaks years ago. She was a social worker. Clare convinced Tom that he shouldn't be living with max and ob and tiffany Chapman was the sw.
