Soap fans have called for Brookside to return to screens after a nostalgic crossover with Hollyoaks to mark its 30th anniversary.
The special episode, which aired on Wednesday night, brought together characters from both soaps in a nod to their shared history and to the pioneering spirit of Brookside, which broke new ground for British TV in the 1980s and 1990s with its gritty, issue-led storytelling.
