New Opening, New Characters and New Website!

We have so much to discuss this week! Where to start?? Well how do you like our new swanky website? The darker colour scheme ties in with our new opening titles for the show which I think look pretty darn good. River City has got all sleek! What do you think?

This week also saw the arrival of some new faces. First, we had Doctor Handsome, I mean eh, Dr Dan Hunter who was welcomed to Shieldinch by a traditional Glasgow Kiss from Lenny! Oft, that was some head butt! Hopefully he'll have an easier time of it next week.

Then we had the mysterious blonde sidling up to Lenny at the bar. But wait, haven't we seen her before? Why yes, she was at McCabe's graveside looking very upset and giving Lenny dirty looks. So why by the end of the episode was she in Shieldinch batting her eyelashes at him?! Suspicious!!!! WHO IS SHE?!

Lenny got about a bit this week - it wasn't all head butts and sultry blondes! He spent time trying to convince Amber to let him take the blame for McCabe's death but to no avail. Amber is staying in prison for a long time, not only that, she's transferring to another prison far, far away because fellow inmates "won't let her sleep" - never heard of Nytol darlin?

Lenny then went into meltdown: got ridiculously drunk, got all philosophical at McCabe's grave, smashed up his office, threatened Murray, head butted Dr Handsome, decided to leave town and tried to sell Gabriel his half of the arcade. Phew! Kelly-Marie saw some of this madness and decided that she wouldn't tell Lenny that Bugsy Malone is his grandson. However, it looks like Lenny might be on to her anyway! He spotted her at Ewan's grave and was struck by the similarity between Callum and Ewan, the Mighty Murdoch won't be letting this one go!

Bob and Stella are very sweet aren't they? Things got a bit shaky when Stella started freaking out about their relationship moving too quickly. The idea of dinner with Bob's family had her panicking and winking like a maniac. She needn't of worried though, the Mullens don't need heirs and graces, they were happy with a chippy and some Irn Bru, but aren't we all?

The Brodie famly were being dysfunctional as usual and it was Uncle Gabriel to the rescue! Conor and his stupid mates were bullying Nicole. Leyla despaired and didn't know what to do. If she'd told Michael, he would have stormed in all guns blazing which would have solved nothing. Instead Gabriel solved it calmly and reasonably by talking rather than shouting at the kids. Who knew that Gabe could be so sensible? Ha, in your face Leyla! He ain't as dumb as you thought he was!

It's been an eventful week so let us know what you thoughts on the episodes, new website and new titles by commenting below.

One last thing - River City will not be on next Tuesday, you can see the next episode on FRIDAY 14th October.

Quote of the Week

Gina (to Stella): "And seriously, you have to work on your winking, it really wisnae clear." - this made me laugh because it really was the worst winking I've ever seen!
