Boo! Hiss! to Drew
Delighted that Bob confronted Drew about the love letter, and Iona found out the truth. Drew's definitely not a wordsmith and he's far from being a charmer either, judging by his laddish chit-chat. The big man's confidence is taking giant leaps, but should he really grab the bull by the horns, take the chance and reveal the depth of his true feelings to her?
Our hearts when out to Bob when he failed to tell Iona how he really felt. And that song was so sweet - if you fancy hearing it again, and again, here you go.
You can see Tom himself performing the song 'Never Been Kissed' in this clip from The Hour. Read more about Tom Urie, and his childhood chum Gerard Butler, in The Daily Record's celebrity profile.

Also loved that the producer put in one of my favourite songs during the Amber/Lee fight at Buchanan towers. A great choice of song

In particular I enjoyed this weeks episode and think the love connection between Bob n Iona is just what the show needs. However i would like to voice my concerns over the amount of songs Bob is singing of late, it feels like alot of the episodes are centred around his music and/or singing when it is not needed. The actors should be trusted to create the atmosphere within the show and not constant music at the end of every scene.
Keep up the good work. Mike.

Not just his singing but also his acting.He puts so much into his character and is really good at the part he plays and very likeable.I really hope that Iona and Big Bob do get together they would make a lovely couple and be very happy together.Iona could trust him rather than that user Drew, i hope they chuck him out the band as hes not to be trusted.How can i get Tom Uries song Never been kissed?it is really lovely to listen too and i would very much like to buy it if it came out as a single.If Andy Stuart can get into the charts with Donald wheres your troosers then im sure Tom can make the charts with this one as its excellent.Looking forward to tonights episode really enjoying it very much,beats all the other soaps as their is really good story lines.The writers for River City are just excellent and doing a great job with the characters, well done.Also that was so good and kind of folk to rally round and help out Deek when he was burgled.Thats when you find out how caring your friends and neighbours really are when they are their for you in times of trouble.It was good to see that and also when he thanked people for their kindnes and help.

It's really disappointing though when they are only there for a short while then gone. This may be controversial but I really like the character Drew. He didn't seem too evil just a bit misguided and unable to handle women. Probably because he spent most of his teenage years locked in his bedroom playing his guitar.
I help out at a youth club and all the younger girls who watch River City think he's 'HOT'. Pity it didn't work out for Bob and the Bob-Tones. The initial banter between them was really funny and very natural.
