Inspired by jesusmcmuffin quoting Roland Browning's girlfriend on another thread, i was inspired to think back to my favourite GH moments 1) - Benny (?) shock death falling from tower (V early days) 2) The aforementioned Roland Browning and the on-off will-they wont-they relationship with the girl with dreads. Stayed in France during school trip 3) Zammo and the Drugs -terrible song though. Great girlfriend. Jackie (?) 4) Faye (?) blonde hair obsessed with teacher and claimed she had an affair with him 5) Sausage flying through the air at start - made me laugh without exception every week for about 5 years any more for any more. It really was required viewing back in late 70s/early 80s

I don't think many lads didn't drool their tinned ravioli watching Jackie Imelda Davis and Ziggy Greaves deserve a mention I really wanted to slap Gonch

I watched it from the start and remember thinking that each intake wouldn't be as good as the last. In the end i always got used to the new characters. in the early days they used to phase them out too quickly, then they brought in sixth forms etc. I remember being entranced by one girl , i think she was called Claire, who used to go out with someone called stewpot. Used to love spotting the former students ageing badly in Natwest commercials or minor characters in the Bill or CATS Eyes.

If i was on millionaire, and theMillion pound question was on that character death, i would have put it all on Benny. Still cant picture the Greek kid but recall a news article about Benny dying in real life now I think about it

I must be posting under your nom de guerre and then completely forgetting ive done it, like in fight club Remember seeing Michael Sheard in something, the Persuaders or similar and thinking i know him from somewhere. I looked on IMDB and he played Hitler 5 times over a period of 25 years, as well as Himmler twice. Plus he was a baddie in Empire Strikes Back. What an evil BASTARD

Michael Sheard was a great actor. Hope he got his wig back.
Forgot about Trevor Cleaver until I watched the fight scene video. He was an arse
There was a real weedy posh kid who went to GH because his parents got divorced, forget his name.
The episode where Roly stowed away to France to see Fabienne.

Think that sour puss, Susan Tully came later Tucker's Luck starred Trisha Yates who was the first main female character and Tucker's mate Humphries One of the cast turned up in the films, Go and Turistas. Can't remember the character name. One of the duller ones

I remember thinking how cool Tucker was, but howbadly he aged even by the time he joined EastEnders. Probably because i only wanted him to be Tucker i remember Baxter turning up in the Grimleys. He didn't look any different

Mr. Baxter turned up in The Grimleys circa 1999. Mr Baxter also thumped poor Manuel in Fawlty Towers when he was one of O'Reilly's builders! Also thumped a bullying teacher in Grange Hill.

Bully boy Gripper and the original bully called Booger Benson. Couple of strange charracters in that Danny Kendall lad and at a similar time the skinny curly, dark headed girl (can't remember name). My mate thought I was daft in the 80's, when we went out round local boozers after our early 1pm friday finish in that I always made sure we got in a pub with a tv when Grange Hill came on early evening!

Gripper Stebson's real first name was Norman. Can't help feeling that fact led him into the spiral of nicking Ro-land's dinner money.
