Brookside's kiss between Beth and Margaret was first seen on 14th January 1994. It was later part of a compilation of kisses seen during the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics.
Originally the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss on British TV, its 2012 showing reportedly made it the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss in Saudi Arabia.
In Brookside, Beth Jordache was played by Anna Friel and Margaret Clemence was played by Nicola Stephenson.
In the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, Frankie was played by Henrique Costa and June was played by Jasmine Breinburg.
