RIP Jimmy Corkhill

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.

Absolute legend.

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

Good character in a good show to watch.

The cul-de-sac would be too small to accommodate all the compulsory box ticking characters required these days.

pleased ive no ideee what you lot is on about

Legend ! Lol ffs

mitolo-I'm sensing a lot of anger and pain.I'm seeing a man in his late 50's who is divorced-possibly because of drinking and gambling.I'm sensing a man who must always be right -regardless how trivial the argument.Share your pain mitolo -it will be cathartic and we can try to heal that pain.

Very very true saddo

Was the best character on the show.

Remember him trying to teach kids how to work out percentages on bookies odds

And begging his bookie for 10p credit so he could have an accumulator

thank you cherrykins for your noble thoughts based on compassion and not poking fun as others would on here


i will answer honestly, as that is the least you deserve for your entreaty

not that old, but not young either and not far off. not divorced but single and have been a long time. drinking and gambolling ive done like no other, but it was more my relentless refusal to go and stay home that did for my 'relationships' as we must call them nowadays. women like the fun for a while but when you dont come home for 5 days they soon tire of it

the advent of notfair meant i stopped digging holes in the road and as a result, had a rare ol time until it went pear-shaped, as im a d1ckhead and carried on like it would last forever

and dats de troof

your senses betray you. i have no ego and genuinely dont givvash1t what anyone thinks or says

it is no pain. it probably should be given what a cobblers ive made of things. but im indestructible in that sense. sadly not physically-fell off me bike a few months ago and am ruined. hardly walk now

now oening bottle 3

Great character ,I think he was in the final episode

tolo had a dill doh as a saddle (nap)

had? stil doh

probably a Mandingo based 11 incher.

is that recommended?

yes..if your snickers launcher resembles the mouth of a tired dog.

ok. doesnt really apply to me. but my council gritter is fairly amenable

mitolo -respect for that reply.

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..

he was married to Jackie.

alison steadman one of me neighbours. derek acora floating around somewhere also

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?

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.

billy done some rally driving over the neighbours lawns..

Same actor that played Billy also starred alongside Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect episode.

Antiques Road Trip on now...

Jimmy is on it.

Tricia Penrose was very tidy in her pomp.

Agree Hibby , i'd say yes in a heartbeat 

no argument with that one here Hayden.
