Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:22:50 +0000

We're pleased to announce that we're currently working on a new design for the River City site. The first of the changes will happen next week- so keep your eyes peeled.

We've also got some news about the spoilers. The spoilers will soon appear right here in the blog, which will make it easier for you to discuss them without upsetting anyone. We know some of you hate knowing what's coming up so, rest assured, we'll make sure you can't see the spoilers unless you absolutely want to.

That was a near thing for Jenny. If she realised just how close she'd come to danger... who knows how she'd react! Surely Michael's game has to be up sooner or later. Someone in Shieldinch must suspect something!

So the attacker is... Michael!

A few of you on the blog had already started to suspect him, which is more than can be said for the residents of Shieldinch. How long before he's unmasked? Will he attack again?

Lenny's face when he realised he'd 'donated' the money to the community centre was a picture. If Lydia finds out he's lost Amber's money then there's no telling what will happen. Are things starting to unravel for Lenny?

Woah! It's about time that Bob and Nicki admitted their feelings for each other! Neither of them have been very lucky in love... but will the course of true love run smooth in Shieldinch? Or will Deek throw a spanner in the works? What do you think?

What a tear-jerker! At least Scott was able to make peace with his dad, but what a way for him to find out about his dad's condition!

And surely time must be running out for the attacker? Now that the ladies have decided to fight back, I wouldn't put money on him coming out the winner in any fight- especially not against Gina! She certainly put Eileen in her place. What did you think of tonight's episode?

Tony Kearney interview

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:24:10 +0000

Tonight's episode is an emotional one for Scott, as he is forced to confront the fact that his dad is dying. Tony Kearney gave an interview in yesterday's Sun about the difficulty of filming such traumatic scenes. Read what he had to say here.

Poor Gina! And still, there's no sign of anyone catching the attacker. Funny that Jack turned up so quickly though... was Gina lucky to have a knight in shining armour so close by, or is there something more sinister going on?

And what was that between Bob and Nicki? Is Bob finally going to be lucky in love?

Tuesday 14th July

Poor Amber! The girl's got it bad, and Innes isn't going to let her off easily! Should she keep on trying to impress him, or back off before things get even worse?

And just who is behind all the attacks in Shieldinch, if Marcus is innocent?

Tuesday July 7th

Wow! How devious is Alex? Last time Brian was seen in Shieldinch he crashed a stolen car, killing his poor gran Moira, and this was after he'd kidnapped his step-sister Hazel and kept her locked in a cellar over Christmas! Glad to see he's doing better now though!

And will Amber get the message about Innes? He's obviously not interested- or is he? What do you think and what did you think about tonight's episode?

Squatters in Shieldinch?

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:06:08 +0000

It's all quiet down in Dumbarton but word from the set is that a family of magpies has taken up residence in the deli! We are trying to encourage them to leave ( as kindly as we can). Also some more sinister squatters might have moved into the studio- it seems there may be poltergeist activity! A shelf had fallen down in the Mullens' kitchen with no apparent cause! No real damage though - just a cup and saucer broken. Let's hope they are not Scarlett's favourites!

Cooking with the King

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:17:18 +0000
