also i know the main connection between that brookside episode and gcest is the loch lomond kiss but like. n.b. also that the brother and sister are staying at a holiday cottage to be alone together one last time before the brother gets married. much like......what happens with liam and noel a month and a half later ☺️↕️ (of course it takes liam much longer to get married but. the parallel is there)

Chapter 70 of Your Love And My Due Diligence i.e. the shameless reconciliation sex chapter. In which Noel and Liam make up for lost time and Noel dodges awkward looks from Donovan and Buttons the morning after.

She studies him. He’s in a white cotton t-shirt and pyjama bottoms. He’s wearing his glasses with the thick black frames. His shirt is thin from multiple washes and a fraction too small for him; it clings to the frame of his shoulders. Agonising. ‘Criminal how fit you are,’ she complains. ‘Couldn’t have gotten even a bit fat or wrinkly?’ ‘Got fat for a bit. Thyroid thing.’  ‘Nah,’ she shakes her head. ‘You had nice tits then. Better than mine.’

I went to Paul McCartney’s daughter Stella’s party and who should open the door but the man himself. He was dead cool. There were all these questions I wanted to ask him but I settled on, ‘Do you watch Brookside?’

^ noel, on a party he went to in 1994, though i haven’t been able to find a date for the quote itself

[Brookside] experienced an extreme backlash from viewers in 1996 following a hugely controversial storyline focusing on an incestuous sexual relationship between two siblings; from thereon the show became synonymous with outrageous and improbable storylines that affected its popularity.

^ wikipedia

most of the backlash was in august 1996, particularly the first week of august; it seems that, while the whole storyline was controversial, episode #1758, which aired on the night of 2 august 1996—that is, the night before loch lomond—was especially so (probably because its content was more explicit about the sexual relationship between the siblings, but i’ll look into it some more.)

vitally important addition to this post—what happens in this episode:

nat and georgia (the brother and sister) are staying in a holiday cottage so that they can be together one final time before nat gets married to his girlfriend, jules. he is missing the wedding rehearsal to be with georgia.

due to some sort of double-booking situation, there is another family staying at the cottage; when they go fishing georgia and nat have sex (the sex isn’t shown onscreen, but we see them naked in bed making out afterwards).

they talk about their past and lament the fact that they can’t be free to be together; georgia says, “let’s just make the most of our last day together. then we can go back to being proper brother and sister again.” more making out and fucking offscreen ensues. (okay this scene is genuinely really emotional 😭 i’m not doing it justice with my lackluster narration)

the other family staying at the cottage come back from their fishing trip early and one of them walks in on nat and georgia naked and in bed together.

the family leave, disgusted, despite nat and georgia’s desperate attempts to de-escelate the situation and redeem themselves. georgia is convinced they’re doomed and that their relationship will inevitably be revealed; nat tries to comfort her and decides to leave to try to convince the family not to tell on them.

as far as i can tell from just those 25 minutes, the show is surprisingly sympathetic towards the couple; it seems like we are meant to feel sad for them (important disclaimer, though, that i watched this episode with absolutely no context whatsoever, so i could be wrong). anyways. let’s factor this into noel’s pre-loch lomond psyche shall we 😍
