River City

I started this for all those who watch the scottish soap River City, to leave their views and comments about the plots, storys and characters - you know the drill.

Ill start

Zoe/ Nicky

Now with zoes secret of her past prostitution out in the open, nicky cant bring herself to forgive herself to forgive her big sister and runs away but hides in ambers house

Ruth

She is going right off the rails and with a baby on the way, wonder what will happen there now she doesnt have scott backing her any more

Zoe/ Rory

I cant wait to see if Rory can manage to forgive zoe he still loves her and i think they are so great together

Ewan

Why is he really back, his mum keeps saying to him have you forgot why you are really back, so im quite intrigued

Sharon

She is really annoying me now and why cant raymond see she is just after one thing - money

Bring back Roisin.

yeah i liked her but i like her sisters iona and whatshernam too

I can't believe no-one is talking about River City, in this the most dramatic time of its life!?!?
Love's young dream, Stuart and Amber!
"Don't tell her" Sami and Ewan!
What is going on with Lydia's accent!
Lennie, the cr*ppest gangster in the West! (wasn't there a song about that?)
The psychiatrist and the GP with no receptionist and no patients!
Get Iona out from behind the counter and see what she's hiding!
And so much more...

Talk to me!!

Love M xx

Junior member!
That's funny. I'm 42!! :lol:

River city is in a league of it's own, it's so bad you have to watch it just to laugh but the new cast members are not a patch on the old bunch. I was on the phone the other week to my mate she watches RC as well and we were howling about Iona complaining about not having a man thinking she was going to become bitter and twisted with just her cat for company, both me and my mate are single at the moment and both have cats. we were laughing about we know how she's feels :rotfl:

Hi Chloe,
So bad it's good! Doncha just love it.
It is a great talking point for me and my friends too, most just say "omg, you don't watch that, do you?!?!?!" and you can hear their exclamation marks. A friend who lives in France watches it avidly, gives her a taste of home, she says. We love Boab and Deek. I suggested she lets her English classes watch a bit to give them an idea about accents.
I am getting chickens for my birthday, I'm calling them Scarlet and Roisin. Scarlet will be the excitable, squawky one and Roisin will have a deep cluck like a man.

Such a SADDO!! :lol:

i watch it every week, i think it is one of the most realistic soaps around, these sorts of things are the kinds of things you can believe happening nowadays in some parts of the uk, plus some of the characters are great i.e scarlet, iona, bob deek etc

Realistic? ha ha
Does anyone really know someone who got wrapped in a carpet, chucked off a cliff - and reappeared renamed Douglas and sporting an appalling beard?
Or know a gangster as short and rubbish as Lenny who hasn't been beaten to a pulp?
Or know anyone anywhere, male or female, who speaks like Roisin? Then marries an American cowboy and moves to a castle?

Yeah, happens all the time in Scotstoun...

:lol:

Hey Maybe how are the chickens? :D Rosin is from Aberdeen that the way they talk. That Archie/Douglas storyline was just :thumbsup: mental and how ugly is Deek. He looks as if he has fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. :rotfl:

i said the most realistic soap, i mean at new year 2 of the english soaps had people falling through broken ice and in one a dead body was found, in RC a drunk guy stumbled out onto the road and was killled by hit and run now that is believable. as for the body being rolled into a carpet i dont know im not in the habit of killing people!!

River City, the long-running Scottish soap, has been cancelled by the BBC after 23 years on the small screen.

The show has been telling the stories from the fictional district of Shieldinch in Glasgow?s West End ever since 2002, but the BBC has today announced that the show has been cancelled after over two decades of broadcasting.

The soap, which was created by Stephen Greenhorn, will come to an end in the autumn of 2026, with its cancellation paving the way for three new shows set across Scotland. These will be legal drama Counsels, comedy thriller Grams and coming-of-age book adaptation The Young Team.

?River City has been a wonderful adventure and of course we?ll all be sad to see it go,? said Hayley Valentine, Director of BBC Scotland, in a statement. ?The team have done a brilliant job and I know they have some big plans for the finale next year.

?But as viewing patterns change and competition intensifies, this is the right time to invest in the next generation of high-impact drama series from across Scotland showcasing storytelling across the UK.

?Our goal is to grow Scotland further on the global drama map ? with a slate of world-class productions that set the standard not just here but internationally too,? Valentine continued.

Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning at BBC Scotland, commented on how the soap has been grassroots training for many people aspiring to work in TV in Scotland, as well as an important home-country show for fans.

"The show leaves a tremendous legacy behind,? she concluded.
