Shieldinch has more than its fair share of ghosts so it's no surprise that our residents can get spooked out every now and then. Jennifer was pretty awesome though, getting her own back on Innes. He's far too cocky! Surely he's seen enough films to know you shouldn't mess with ouija boards!
It was nice to see Charlie siding with his sister at last but was that groaning and droning really from the pipes? I wonder if we'll find out what the wailing was all about. Perhaps it's Lenny Murdoch crying into his tea, realising what he's lost. Or is he being haunted by one of his many victims?
Talking of baddies, good on Scarlett and Jimmy for standing up to Michael. Let's hope this is the last we see of him.
Spoilers are back! We've kept them hidden so that we don't spoil any surprises but if you really want to find out what happens in next week's River City, just click on 'reveal spoiler' below!
Jo's back but she's still ignoring wee Romeo. Instead she turns her attention to Ewan and tries to get him into bed!
Innes plays the hero in the pub when he punches an annoying, drunken lad, and immediately attracts more attention from Amber, much to the chagrin of Charlie and Jen.
And Jimmy's fury gets too much when he bombards Scarlett with questions about Michael Learmonth. The traumatised couple spend a night apart and Bob warns him never to hurt his mum again. Nothing can get between the Mullens for long though.
Some Shieldinch residents popped into BBC Scotland's HQ in Glasgow to launch this year's Children in Need Appeal! Everyone got on their bikes to support 'Catch Me If You Can', a fund-raising venture that challenges Scotland's cyclists to 'catch' Mark Beaumont who will, by Children in Need night, have cycled approximately 10,000 miles down the west coast of the Americas.
Libby McArthur (Gina Hamilton), Gary Lamont (Robbie Fraser), Pamela Byrne (Hayley McCrone), John Comerford (Jack Paterson) and Sandy Welch (Gordon Swan) joined the famous Pudsey bear for today's photocall, along with Miss Scotland and BBC presenters John Beattie and David Currie.
This year's Children in Need takes place on Friday, 20 November, and you can find out all about it on bbc.co.uk/pudseyscotland.
A brand new soap, Westenders, is about to be unleashed on Glasgow. You won't find it on the telly though - it's a theatre production that will run for eight weeks from Thursday, 22 October. Each 20 minute episode is free and takes place in Glasgow's Oran Mor.
Some River City behind-the-scenes alumni are involved and they promise some well-kent faces on the stage.
"Pub landlady Ruby has more than her fair share of problems. Her poet husband Rabbie hasn't sold so much as a limerick since 1989. Her bohemian sister Pearl has put the moves on her daughter's boyfriend. Her son has joined the Young Tories. Her mother hates Ruby's husband while living under the same roof and her brother, Diamond, seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. And since the bank headquarters next door started making redundancies, the pub is haemorrhaging trade. Now the bank manager is breathing down her neck, and threatening to foreclose on their loan. Is there anything else that can go wrong? You bet."
You'll find more information about this new kind of soap on the Oran Mor website.
Oh my, that was another emotional episode. Jacqueline Leonard, who plays Lydia, was great.
When did McCabe get so creepy?! Lydia's done the right thing - she certainly doesn't want to get into business with another gangster, business or otherwise, after leaving Lenny. Meanwhile, does Marianne fancy Mr Murdoch?! What is she up to?
And Scott's mum is just lovely. Her new passion for life is inspiring, a far cry from her dowdy days with Scott's dad.
River City has been nominated for a BAFTA Scotland Award for Best TV Drama! Libby McArthur, Lisa Gardner, and Morag Calder helped launch the nominations yesterday and celebrated the show's recognition.
This is the second time River City has been nominated (the first time was in 2006) and Series Producer, Morag Bain, is delighted for everyone involved in the programme, "It's a great honour. It's wonderful that the hard work of the team is recognised by our peers in the industry. We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed for success this year!"
Visit the BAFTA Scotland website for more information and a full list of nominations.
I can't believe this escaped my notice until now! Chris, Sam, and Ryan were photographed for No.1 Magazine's Hunk of the Year search a couple of weeks ago. Check out this pic of the boys, all suited and booted, on the Scottish Sun's website and you'll find them looking very suave on No.1 Mag's site.
It's Christmas in Shieldinch! It may be October in the real world but out here it's all Christmas trees and mistletoe. The set is particularly busy - almost the entire cast is here, dressed in their Sunday best. The scenes being shot today will be on screen in the middle of December and we promise they're worth the wait. You'll see Malcolm at his finest, Deek as you've never seen him before, and Bob as... well, let's just say you've seen him like this before ;)
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that confessional! Father Mulvaney must be traumatised after Lenny's outpouring. It's such a turnaround to see Lenny suffering - I almost felt sorry for him tonight.
It was obviously a terribly sad day for the Rossi/Hamiltons but Jo's behaviour is becoming increasingly odd. There are many ways to grieve so maybe this is hers but she seems so cold. And what's she going to get up to in London this time?! The mind boggles.
If you're looking for a new fitness regime, Dr Marianne McKee has an interesting proposition. Frances Grey, who plays the good doctor, has taken to gruelling boot camps, under the watchful eye of a Sergeant Major!
She's told The Sun all about her new extreme exercising - read all about it on the newspaper's website.
Natasha Watson, who played Heather's daughter Freya in River City, can be heard on BBC Radio Scotland tomorrow! She plays Mary, the child of an alcoholic, in 'Daniel and Mary', from 1130 on Friday, 9 October. It's a far cry from Freya's new life in Australia.
Find out more about the drama on the 'Daniel and Mary' web page.
McCabe's back! Not only has he stamped his mark all over Shieldinch again, he's firmly placed Lenny as the underdog. Lenny is going to hate his new lowly position. Even if he finds out who switched sides to reveal his contacts to McCabe, Lenny may be all out of strength to get revenge.
Bob and Nicki are such a sweet couple with their matching overalls - it's tough to see them arguing. Just as well young Bob saw sense in the end and realised that Nicki is far more than a mate .
As for Jo... it looks like her old, manipulative ways are returning. Perhaps it's her way of coping but Ruth seems to be one who's really suffering right now.
We couldn't let that life drawing model pass through Shieldinch without a bit of a fanfare so we've put together a nice little photo gallery for you to relive the experience. Delve into the gallery now and enjoy photos from the class, along with some of the quality artwork produced by our 'residents'.
Back in the real world, you might like to know that Jimmy's drawing has actually been framed and hung on the wall outside our beloved Art Department!
