A few weeks ago I teased you about a brand new set. The set's now ready to use so I took a sneaky wee photo to tease you further.

The set is called 'Brochan Lom'. Any ideas what it will be? All will be revealed soon.

We all know that Sammi is having Ben's baby but did you know that actor Samia Rida is pregnant in real life? She's not the only one: Claire Knight, who plays Iona, is due on the same day in May and her bump is becoming increasingly difficult to film around!

Sammi will be on screen until May and Iona until June. I can't tell you how the stories will go but feel free to guess! Just use the comments box below.

Danny loves Lydia! Well, he did back when they were teenagers and we have proof! This piece of graffiti was discovered on the back of the gate beside Moda Vida.

It'll be seen on screen on Tuesday, 24 March when Lydia and Daniel have a heart-to-heart.

Don't miss Comic Relief tonight on BBC One Scotland from 1900 until the wee hours of the morning. You should get a glimpse of River City stars Libby, Deirdre and Morag around 2010 but please bear in mind that live TV schedules are liable to change! Visit the BBC One Scotland TV schedule to see a breakdown of the Comic Relief programming.

Red Nose Day is fast approaching! The Comic Relief team came to Shieldinch today to film a few small pieces that may broadcast on BBC One Scotland on Friday, 13 March. Naturally, I went along to spy on them.

Don't Deirdre and Morag look just lovely with their red noses and deely-boppers?! I'll blog another couple of photos on Friday. Find out more on the official BBC Red Nose Day website.

You thought you'd seen the last of Jamie Hunter when his adoration of Iona got out of hand and his mum carted him off to Mull, but actor Anthony Martin is set to appear on BBC Scotland again. He stars in Zig Zag Love, alongside Robert Carlyle and Joe McFadden; it's a story of a unique love affair between a teenage cancer patient and a girl with cerebral palsy.

Anthony will be interviewed on The Radio Café on BBC Radio Scotland on Tuesday, 10 March, from 1315 - 1400; Zig Zag Love is on BBC One Scotland at 2100 on Monday, 16 March.
