It'd be lovely to focus today's blog on the gorgeous model in Scott's life drawing class... but there's no getting away from tonight's trauma. What a terrible, terrible thing to have happened. Jo has lost Nazir and little Franco. She came back to Shieldinch with high hopes for the future. How is she going to get through this?
Obviously Gina's suffering too but Ruth must've felt awful tonight - Gina just went off on one and it wasn't her daughter's fault. What d'you think?
PS Why did Deek tell Ewan where Amber and Lydia are hiding?! Just two weeks ago he considered a hero! Bah.

I know that might be money or something, but having lots of folk crying and talking about what we didn't see started to get funny. I've really liked what has happened in the last few episodes, but when a big incident happens, we should see some of it. In Emmerdale we never saw the huge accident, but we saw tea damage it had caused, in RC we see people in a room crying!

They got into a taxi that crashed??? And somehow this was Ruth's fault? Gina was behaving like a pantomime villain, hissing and booing at Ruth and generally being horrible. this seemed totally out of character for Gina who is usually kind and sensitive. Couldn't get into this episode at all, just too far fetched.

The other part of River city was very upsetting and im glad they didnt show the accident or wee Franco in hospital.I felt so sorry for Ruth as Scott did say please turn off your mobiles,time just ran away.Ruth did still offer to collect them eventhough she was a bit later but Gina said no they will just get a taxi.I have never seen Gina so angry in all the episodes of River city.Yes it was a very sad part in River city and i think it was acted really well.If like me you watched the hour you would have heard about the story line.They didnt show the accident as they didnt want to upset the viewers which i myself thought was the best thing.It must have been difficult and upsetting for the cast to do this tragedy,but they acted it out really well and it was done very sensitively and carefully thought out.Well done River city.

That had nothing to do with him as it was Nicky who they told where they were staying not him. Also i thought it was really nice to have the art competition as a charity in rememberance of Shona.Shes maybe gone but she will never be forgotten.

I'd like to say what I shouted out loud when I saw that model but this is an all-ages message board.
