Genius, but got OTT near the end.

Didn't watch much of the later stuff but Jimmy, Sheila, Bobby and Sinbad were superb.

What next.

Silly I know, but end of another British 'Icon'?

I used to be an avid fan in the mid-90s when the trevor jordache actor (cant remember his name) was getting grief in real life cos he played his part so well, and paul usher was always brilliant as barry grant specially all the gangster stuff and not having watched it for years I thought I would watch it. I have to say it was the biggest anti-climax coupled with a ridiculous story line, so everyone sells their house and moves out in the whole close in a matter of days??? yeah right!!! very disappointing IMHO.

Were the houses not part of a compulsory purchase order as an incenerator was being built nearby???

Hence they all HAD to move out?

Compulsory purchases don't happen over a matter of days. You tend to get notice of months and years

Fantastic I thought! Jimmy made it!
The fact there was murder, drugs, drugs, drugs and a mental bloke all in one episode made it!

What happened?

Is it repeated? (although a summary would be nicer )

pp,

yes they did, what was even worse was Jimmy corkill daubed the boarded up windows with 'Game Over' in red paint. Sorry this show was the best soap (IMHO) but Phil Redmond is sure capable of better.

It was pure $hite

Great way to end it and good acting - unlike many of the soaps. RIP the doctor in Eastenders etc...

Great tension and drama the way that drug dealer wound me up!
