Morag Calder, who plays Ruth, has done an interview with The Scottish Sun. To tell you what it was about would be giving the game away but if you really want to know, visit the Spoilers page and read what happens on the 4th March!
The interview's on page 57 of today's paper.
Ewan Murdoch, to be played by Chris Brazier, will appear in Shieldinch at the end of March. He started filming a couple of weeks before Christmas and he says the first thing he did when he got the part was visit the River City website. We didn't even pay him to say that ;)
Chris has already been in Hollyoaks and the Dream Team so you may recognise him!
You can visit our Spoilers page to find out a little more about his first storyline, and don't forget about the Murdoch family tree if you're confused about who's who.
Laura McMonagle, who plays Zoe, has announced that she's leaving River City. Laura told us, "I've really enjoyed my time on the show but I've been there for almost four years and want to try new things". She's now signed up with an agent in London so, after leaving Shieldinch, she'll be spending a bit of time travelling between Glasgow and London, and is excited about the new opportunities that await her. The TV team are sorry to see her go - she's been a great asset to the show and they wish her well in her future career.
Laura doesn't yet know what her exit will be but hopes it'll be something really dramatic. However, she wants to assure you that she's not running out the door immediately! Zoe will be on screen until the end of the year. After all, she's got plenty happening on screen at the moment. We're just dying to see Ruth's face when she finds out her new best friend is the cause of her husband's STD…
Ever wondered what happened to mad Robert after he held Nicki and Shirley hostage? Well, he's turned up again. Maurice Roeves will appear in the new series of Skins on E4, alongside Michael Nardone, who you'll all recognise as nasty DCI Whiteside. It starts on Monday.
Stephen Purdon (Bob Adams) got an impressive 6 out of 8 in his Radio Scotland quiz this morning! He had to answer questions about his lovely Gran, Rose, but couldn't remember her first job or her favourite holiday destination. Oops.
Despite being a big River City fan (she says she watches both episodes AND the omnibus every week), Rose was keen to point out that her favourite actor is Robert Carlyle! We think she's pretty proud of her very own Bob Adams though.
Don't forget you can listen again to the show on the iPlayer within a week of broadcast.
Stephen Purdon and his gran will be on Radio Scotland's MacAulay & Co programme on Thursday morning! They're going to test the theory that we don't know much about our grandparents. Stephen will be quizzed about his gran and it sounds like they're an entertaining pair! We'll be there to take photos which we'll share with you tomorrow morning.
It's on from 9.30 - 11am on Thursday 7th February so listen live online, tune into your radio, or listen again on the iPlayer for a week after transmission.
