Indiana Dan and the Raiders of the Loan Shark...
Leyla and Gabriel finally got it on this week! I've got to say, it wasn't quite as steamy as I hoped but there's only so much flesh you can see before 9pm, I guess! I'm starting a campaign for a late night River City - we want more nudity!! Well, actually it's probably just me that wants more nudity. However, even though I didn't see the clothes getting torn off, it was clear that they'd had a steamy time off screen! I don't think they'll be able to stay away from each other from now on. Poor Michael doesn't have a clue, he was actually encouraging his brother to get closer to Leyla, if only he knew! Michael has a temper at the best of times, what on earth will he do when he finds out his brother has been bonking his wife?!
Fran the Kiss-A-Scams eeeeeevil kisses seem to have backfired slightly, it looks like she might actually be enjoying her evil kisses with Lenny! Her horrid mother Agnes isn't going to be pleased if she doesn't go through with the plan to bring Murdoch down. Will Frances fall in love with Lenny and live happy ever after or will she stay on the dark side and have her revenge on Lenny for her brother's death? We'll just have to wait and see!
Coming up next week we have more Leyla and Gabriel sneaky smooching, Stevie in trouble (again) and oh, what's that smell? Is that...smoke...? Don't miss it!

Just one minor gripe: it seems to be TV gospel that the word casino must convey at least a tiny amount of glamour, which is the only plausible excuse I can find for Dan visiting the land of blackjack in an Ocean's 11 suit, complete with obligatory top button undone, tie askance. But tragically, Scottish casinos are not populated by the Rat Pack , their classy dames and champagne on ice. They are inhabited by pasty-faced zombies in scruffy jackets with blank faces staring for hours at one of the massed ranks of puggies. They're trapped.
Apart from that, his plight was extremely well-handled and if at least one person is encouraged to take the first step to freeing themselves from the vice-like grip of gambling, it'll have done immense good.
Other stuff. Like God, Gabriel's hair works in mysterious ways, its wonders to behold. Could it be that this is the Samson-like hold he has over drippy Leila? One flash of his higlights, and what woman wouldn't be dazzled into a sordid bunk-up in his brother's bedroom. Couldn't he have least have conduction this assignation upstairs at Liz and Malcolm's where he might have been able to put on some on his own seductive music (I bet he's into Level 42, I get that feeling about him, I reckon Michael's into Runrig, which wouldn't really have been suitable for the occasion).
Besides, it's not entirely unreasonalbe that puritanical Liz insisted on a 'no nookie' clause being written into the old Lotharios's tenancy agreement. Who could blame her?
Anyway, the earth clearly didn't move for Leila. On dressing, she looked like she'd spent the previous half hour putting the surgery's files in strict alphabetical order, which she may well have been doing in her mind at least.
