That's very sad to hear, he was a great character in Brookside when it was at its peak, was equally as good in funny scenes and dramatic scenes. Dean Sullivan has died at just 68 yo from prostate cancer, loved his character and will be missed.
A reminder to all of us around this age to keep an eye on our waterworks and get checked out at earliest symptoms. Rip Dean/Jimmy. |

Jimmy Corkhill did keep that show going and Dean played him superbly but PEAK Brookside was before Jimmy even showed up in it, Billy Corkhill did.
1982 - 1985 |

My Mum was on the till in Asda, she told me yesterday after the sad news came out he came through one day and my Mum said his boyfriend was the most handsome man she has ever seen in her life, talking to her she said during her twenty five years there she also served Alison Steadman, Derek Acorah, John Aldridge and two from Frankie Hollywood as she said. She also served The one with dogs from The Real Thing ham on the bone on the bacon counter. Good times she said with a proper cheap canteen and overtime and double time on bank holidays etc, all gone now with single pay and canteen well gone like most places..

Was that in Liverpool mitolo or where she lives now, my Mum went to see Derek Acorah years ago. He said she would get a red carpet, he was spot on. She got one fifteen years later.

Never mind all that but what about the first Corkhill in the series, Billy?
|
|
By:
Wasn't he Jimmy's brother, with being a joiner my mate done some work around the set and was always taking me there but it didn't come off. I went off to Algeria instead and missed out on seeing Barry, Terry and Bobby.
