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, t...
Jack and Hayley - A photo love story
Aw, the heart melted when Jack made his romantic announcement, in front of all and sundry, in The Ship. We thought you'd like to see some pictures. Jack takes aim. And selects his target. Nothing like a private dance in public. Talk about an appreciative crowd! Why don't you see if you can come up with some suitable captions for the photos? Gordon's glower is priceless - he is not a happy camper.
Guiding with scissors
If you went down to the River City tours this year in Dumbarton you were certainly in for a big surprise. Two members of the cast had summer jobs as tour guides. Robbie and Hayley, aka Gary Lamont and Pamela Byrne, ditched their curling tongs in favour of showing members of the public around...
Nae plus-one
How kind of Robbie to pass along his boyfriend/stalker scraps to Scott. We nearly choked when Victor walked into The Ship. And we knew it was only a matter of time before Victor's trees make an appearance too. All this hassle to avoid Scott being cast as an old maid - but does he know what he's...
Word on the street - back to work!
It's the first day of filming in Dumbarton. Graeme Gordon, the series producer of River City, tells us what's been going on today. As the new series producer today was my first shooting day of series six. Everything has kicked off well with the cast and crew refreshed from the summer break in...
The Magic Bump
What's warm, cosy and flesh-toned? Need another clue? These things live in the River City costume room, and Eileen will be getting to grips with them in the next few months. Yes, we're talking about the pregnancy 'bumps' which Deirdre has started wearing as her character adjusts to becoming an...
In the air
With Heavenly Herbals taking shape the Shieldinch air is filled with the smell of bath oils. Ruth's pre-wedding girlie afternoon was crammed with goodies, and the sound of Fraser's sales pitch. He gets marks for cheekiness. We thought we'd bring you a glimpse of one of Heavenly Herbal's gift...
Bridezilla's Return
Jo's back! And she's getting bridal and carried away with wedding bells on sister Ruth's behalf. Actress Lisa Gardner made an appearance in the press talking about Jo's return to Shieldinch. In the articles she discussed what Jo's been up to after her break in Australia. Lisa shared her thoughts...
Love and other distractions
Attract, flatter, manoeuvre - it seems Drew's tactics do work. But we all know it was Bob's charm which really worked a treat on Iona. We were so crushed on the big man's behalf. Why is love so complicated? Jack and Hayley are no doubt thinking the same thing...
Deep in Dumbarton
Taking place on a submarine far below the Arctic Ocean, The Deep sounds like it has nothing in common with a Glasgow-set drama. However this BBC One series was filmed in Dumbarton earlier this year in the same studios as River City. Neil Mac works as the Unit Manager at Dumbarton. It's his jo...
