Oops, Eileen didn't quite hit the ground running with her new job at the community centre! Sending Joe's boxing club packing, with extreme air freshener tactics, and causing a strike made for a dramatic first day.
Ditching the bingo did not endear her to the older Shieldinch citizens either plus it seems conversational Portuguese and haiku might not pull in the punters. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out between Eileen and the mysterious Murray though.
Scarlett's haiku was good though - she showed a natural flair!
'Like a leaf in Autumn
She, who has a big head
Falls from a great height.'
Hmm, wonder who this was about?
Meanwhile over at the salon it was battle of the brushes between Jack and Robbie. Loved Robbie keeping watch over Arlene's 'body', and his comment about 'so much for big hair, big horizons, eh?'. Bet there'll be a few more skirmishes between this pair!

Eileen's "it's my shop" act was even more annoying than when Lydia did it a few weeks ago.
I think Hayley's pampered little bubble is about to burst.

Just wanted to say a big "Thank you" My mother has been ill, we were watching river city together, we almost wet ourselves laughing at the salon scenes. A real tonic, so funny, it was so good to see my mother laughing. Thank you to all concerned in the making of river city.
