Familiar Attraction

I have finally seen Brookside!

Brookside was a British soap that ran in the 80s and 90s for 21 years. It was on several times a week, and centered on the ”close” of Brookside in Liverpool and the inhabitants of the households there. (A housing development, essentially, or neighborhood unit.) As you can imagine, there was a lot of turnover of characters, with a show that ran that long. We are concerned with the Simpson family that was a part of Brookside in 1996 and 1997 (seasons 43-46 for Nat/Georgia). 

There was a storyline of canon incest involving the daughter and eldest son of the family – Georgia and Nat – which is quite wonderful and quite unique.

I have known about Nat and Georgia for a long time, but I was not too eager to watch an old British soap from the 90’s, with who knows how many episodes total, and who knows how many of them unavailable. The endeavor seemed overwhelming. However, thanks to @voxangelvee’s amazing hard work, that is no longer a problem. Every episode, at least the ones relevant to us, was available on youtube (poor quality, unfortunately – ripped from VHS – but our enormous gratitude to that special soul out there who kept all their Brookside VHS tapes and uploaded them). And voxangelvee went to the enormous trouble of trimming the episodes for the Simpson family scenes and uploading them for us here. (Right now the uploads are not completely but there is already 4 hours worth of scenes and the rest are on their way.)

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
