Soap life: Soap life: Nice day for a wet wedding
2001
It's the moment Brookside fans have been waiting for - Jacqui Dixon's marriage to Max Farnham. And what a strange relationship that is. Not only is Max 20 years her senior, but Jacqui also fell for him while she was a surrogate mother for Max and his wife Susannah's child. Now Susannah's dead (that's all right then) and Max is suspected of murdering her (Oh). Will the wedding go ahead? Will Jacqui leave Max standing at the altar, like her previous fiance? (If she does she'll get wet - the wedding's on a Mersey ferry). Without giving too much away, Alex Fletcher who plays Jacqui takes us through her \"big day\" Oooh, you do look lovely! All the men had to wear TV make-up too. Steven Pinder, who plays Max, was making some great jokes about the wedding. He said of our characters: \"If they didn't live on Brookside, they'd be happy forever.\" But as they do...well, let's just say it probably won't be plain sailing (if you'll pardon the pun).
