[QUOTE="Ome, post: 333363, member: 2"] It was the of Scott and Charlene returning that made my mind up about watching how it all played out. Weirdly, the whole return felt flat and very underwhelming. One particular thing that stood out like a sore thumb was Kylie's dialogue or lack of it. What was that all about? I did enjoy the 'Especially for You' nod and Charlene running up to the window where I think we saw Scott meeting Charlene for the first time, with Scott thinking she was a burglar. Thankfully, Mike & Jane's reunion knocked everything out of the park. I was so impressed by how quickly these two won me over. From the moment that bike appeared I felt more excited than I was expecting and then filled up with goosebumps and felt my eyes starting to water as they bumped into each other. Every scene they shared felt like something I had been waiting for, for such a long time. How brilliant two characters from 30 years ago could pull me in so quickly. This has been the best ending to a long-running series I've watched, though I did enjoy the story of Barry going for the lads who killed Damon in York as they were released after serving 25 years in Brookside's final episode. I couldn't put my finger on why and how quickly I fell into the soap again, especially after such a long gap and this pretty much sums it up. :lol: Two scenes had me filling up. This one with Mike & Jane and the one where it showed Madge sitting next to Harold. Ha! I found myself thinking that. [/QUOTE]
