Crush watch
We are loving watching Big Bob's crush on Iona develop. He does everything but swoon in her presence. This week's note to the big man - tuna chat is not a fast-track to a girl's heart. Hanging round the deli with puppy dog eyes may endear him to Iona eventually, but do you have any advice for lo...
Tuesday's show - now on Wednesday!
It's Tuesday - time for your weekly fix of all things Shieldinch, However, don't forget that the latest episode has been moved to Wednesday 30 June at 21:00. Missing the show? The good ol' iPlayer will keep you in the loop with Eileen's secret and Theresa's reign of terror.
Theresa, the red terror
Things are pretty grim in the Muillen household aren't they? Theresa's using the house as a half-way house for her knock-off gear, Jimmy and Scarlett are struggling to hide their disgust at the woman's antics, and Molly's firmly under her menacing daughter's spell. Happy days for Bob though:...
Hot from the doc's
It was obvious that a white-hot secret like Eileen's pregnancy wasn't going to remain a secret in Shieldinch for longer than...five minutes? From Eileen to Ruth to Liz to Malcolm and then finally to poor Raymond, the gobsmacked dad-to-be: news of Eileen's condition spread like wildfire. Plenty...
River City on the move...
Have you noticed a small thing which keeps making your favourite TV shows vanish off the face of the earth or appear at odd times? Yes, it's the once-every-four-years footie fest that is the World Cup, and it's having an effect on River City for the next few weeks. So, instead of your usual ...
From Balloch to Bollywood
Swapping tears for tiaras, Lorna Anderson's escaping her River City role as troubled Amber Murdoch for a most intriguing film part. The actress is making her big-screen debut in a Bollywood film called Mausam, which is currently filming in Edinburgh. You can read all about it in The Scottish Sun. The filming of Mausam has been causing a stir in Edinburgh as it features Indian megastars Sonam Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor. Mausam is the directorial debut of Indian film veteran Pankaj Kapoor, and it's about the love between a girl and a boy, played by Pankaj's son Shahid. Part of the story is set in Scotland, and Lorna's landed the role of the main character's British best friend. We caught up with Lorna to find out more about her latest job. Lorna tells us that several scenes are set in a Viennese ball and the actual waltz was extremely challenging. She gets to wear a stunning Viennese ball gown - which is a far cry from the urban chic usually sported by Amber. Filming will continue on Mausam until the end of July.
Maybe baby...
After much contemplation, Eileen's been happily preparing to foster a child with 'good mate' Raymond. But to her horror, she's fallen pregnant. After opening her heart to Liz, it's clear that she finds the reality of bringing up a baby, at her mature age, terrifying. And now she's planning a ter...
Bubba trouble
So there we have it, the awful revelation - Scarlett is not Bubba's real mum and Theresa - perhaps the nastiest piece of work to walk Sheildinch - is. Bob, kind-hearted to the core, is nothing like Theresa - how will he cope if he finds out? Looking at Theresa with fresh eyes, perhaps this t...
1 June 2010 - Alone in the make-up room
Gordon's bid to win Ruth's heart with bling - it was impulsive, and impressive. But wretched and ever-so-slightly desperate too. He certainly wasn't expecting to get dumped, was he? Oh, what a mess ... Gordon's such a good guy and, with his own booming business, a real catch too! Matchmaker h...
1 June 2010 - Backstage at the non-nuptials
There's nothing like a last-minute proposal, a false pregnancy, a groom with the jitters and a desperate dash to the church, to give us a bumper Shieldinch (non) wedding, with bells on! Wasn't Ruth such a good friend to Andy, even though you could see that her heart was breaking, and she was de...
