Neil Caple has shared the emotional reason why Brookside will always have a special place in his heart.
The 64-year-old soap star is renowned for his role as Martin Murray in the classic Channel 4 show. Neil joined the cast as the Murray patriarch in 2000 and endured a turbulent time on the Close until the programme ended in 2003.
The actor, who lives in Formby, had enjoyed a successful career in the theatre before he eventually landed the part. Neil told the ECHO he will always treasure how Brookside changed his life as the nature of the job meant he could be there for his three children.
