Shieldinch wakes up to the news of a tragic death.
As Lenny is being questioned by the police, there is a search taking place in the boatyard. This leads to lots of speculation in Shieldinch. It soon becomes clear that the police are searching for bodies – but nobody knows which bodies. Lydia, Amber and Lee are sticking together, terrified to be alone.
Liz is concerned about the effect on the previous night’s events on Malcolm. But when the police turn up it’s not Malcolm they want to speak to. The police question Liz about her son Archie wanting to know when she last saw and heard from him. When they suggest that Archie may be one of the bodies, Liz refuses to believe them and becomes incredibly defensive about her son. But when his wallet is found she has to accept that not only was her son murdered but that his body was buried in Shieldinch all this time.
Whilst Scarlett’s attention has been diverted to the tragedy in Shieldinch, Molly has moved her attentions to a different Bob: Wee Bob. She has managed to move into the flat with Bob, Deek and Stella and soon drives the trio mad. She has to be the worst flat mate: eating them out of house and home, taking money from the kitty, commandeering the television. It’s too much for Bob and he goes home to ask Scarlett to help get rid of his granny.
Lenny is played by Frank Gallagher, Lydia by Jacqueline Leonard, Amber by Lorna Anderson, Lee by James Palmer, Liz by Eileen McCallum, Malcolm by Johnny Beattie, Scarlett by Sally Howitt, Molly by Una McLean, Bob by Stephen Purdon.
Previously on River City: Tuesday 9th March
This week…Lydia learns the truth about Lee, Molly ‘burgles’ the community centre, and Iona is struggling to live with a very attentive Raymond.
Concerned by Amber’s behaviour, Lydia manages to get hold of her mobile. She immediately assumes the worse when she sees a string of calls from Lee. Lydia tackles Amber about their relationship and in the heat of the moment, Amber blurts out that Lee isn’t even her real brother. Lydia can’t believe her ears and goes home to talk to Lenny. Of course, Lenny pleads ignorance and says how confused he is by Lee’s lies to Amber. But when Lydia says how Lee called Amber this morning, Lenny realises that Lee is still alive. And more importantly – Ewan didn’t kill him as Lenny ordered. Lenny sets out to find Ewan.
Molly is still desperate to get Big Bob back home with her. She’s stuck at Scarlett’s flat as she’s ‘injured’ but that doesn’t stop her hatching a new plan. Whilst Big Bob, Scarlett, Jimmy and Bob hunt the flat for the community centre keys, Molly has snuck off with them and ‘burgles’ the centre to get Big Bob in trouble and hopefully fired. The plan looks set to work until Eileen watches over the CCTV and spots the ‘vandal’.
Iona is staying with Raymond, but his attempts to make her feel at home are too much for Iona. So when Ruth offers her spare room, Iona jumps at the chance. But she hasn’t the heart to break it to Raymond.
Amber is played by Lorna Anderson, Lydia by Jacqueline Leonard, Lee by James Palmer, Lenny by Frank Gallagher, Ewan by Chris Brazier, Molly by Una McLean, Big Bob by Tom Urie, Scarlett by Sally Howitt, Jimmy by Billy McElhaney, Bob by Stephen Purdon, Eileen by Deirdre Davis, Iona by Claire Knight, Raymond by Paul Samson and Ruth by Morag Calder.
