Brookside was a staple part of many people's childhoods in the 80s and 90s. So when news recently came out that episodes are on STV to watch again, viewers were delighted.The show, which was set in Liverpool on a specially made street, first aired in November 1982 and produced a number of iconic and memorable moments.

One of these was the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss. Brian Regan, who played Terry Sullivan, also had a number of explosive storylines, from being deceived by Sue Harper into thinking she was carrying his baby, to being cheated on.

He was one of the most recognisable characters on the show, which also acted as a launchpad for many of our most-loved stars.These include Anna Friel and Sue Johnston.

But it's not been quite so simple for Brian since the show and here we look more closely at his life... Early life and Brookside Brian grew up in Dovecot and attended Yew Tree Comprehensive School.
