Awkward!

After a brief foray into her father's gangster world, Shieldinch's own little Tallulah* (Amber) has been carted off to prison and it looks like it's for good! She could have been anything that she wanted to be but she's determined to pay the price for killing McCabe. To be honest, I think I'd rather face prison than a life with Feeble Fraser! On the topic of Fraser, it's goodbye to him too as he's decided to scurry off down south to escape the clutches of Lenny. But oh Feeble Fraser how I will miss you and you're amusing terrified facial expressions! To be fair, there was only so long he could continue wearing an extra pair of underwear all the time.



Now, whatever will Lenny do without Fraser to torment and his little princess Amber to look after? Well look out Shieldinch, there's a new heir to the Murdoch gangster throne and that is Callum Adams our new Baby Gangster who I shall now call Bugsy Malone*! He's gonna be shooting people with his custard pie machine gun in no time! But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself, let's get back to the present:

The Mullen's had a lot to celebrate this week - Jimmy was out the hospital after his near fatal stabbing and Bob came back from Peru with the prodigal daughter Kelly-Marie in tow. But the delight soon turned to suspicion when Kelly-Marie revealed that she had a son Bugsy (Callum) that no one knew existed. Savvy Scarlett sussed that something was not quite right about all this and Kelly-Marie was forced to reveal the truth - Bugsy is the result of her brief encounter with Ewan Murdoch a few years back, therefore Lenny is Bugsy's grandfather!! EEEEk, what's going to happen?!?! One thing is sure, Scarlett did not look pleased to find out that they now have a family connection to the Murdoch's!!

It was great to have wee Bob back, he's been gone for far too long! Stella was over the moon too as she's been pining for him for months. After a few misunderstandings Stella and Bob were reunited and they had a cheeky wee snog in the Tall Ship - it looks like the romance IS ON! Woop!

I've got a few bits of backstage info for you this week. This week's episode was Episode 26 of Series 6, so next week will be Episode 1 of Series 7 which we are currently filming. So, you can expect to see some exciting changes to bring in the new series. Oh, you know how I like to tease you!!

We've been getting in the Christmas spirit all this week at the Dumbarton Studios as we're filming the Christmas episodes - we've got fake snow and everything! It's all very exciting! I've included some of my very amateurish pictures below for you!

Don't forget to let us know what you thought of this week's episode.

Quote of the Week

Molly was hilarious this week, she had me giggling so many times, so I'm just going to include three quotes this week!

Molly: "Fraser, you'll be glad you're no winching Lenny's daughter noo."

Molly: "They men in white suites are all over that arcade like maggots on a midden."

Kelly-Marie (to Tatiana): "You were born in Russia aye?"

Tatiana: "In Kiev"

Molly: "You know, where the chickens come from."

Christmas in Shieldinch
