Synopsis

Published to coincide with the show's 10th anniversary, this is the definitive companion to River City - featuring 10 years of drama, unforgettable characters and behind-the-scenes secrets. From the first episode, when Tommy and Eileen tied the knot, through to Nicole's edge-of-the-seat kidnap and bad guy Cammy's demise, it's all here. Cliffhangers (literally), births, deaths and marriages - and some classic River City cat fights. We take a peek back at the days when Stephen Greenhorn conceived the show and marvel at the mammoth task of creating your favourite soap on a weekly basis. Find out the real people behind Shellsuit Bob, Gina Hamilton and Stevie Burns. And, gasp, but did you know that River City was supposed to have a different title - and was initially scheduled to be set in a different city? Doesn't bear thinking about, does it? Including exclusive interviews with River City creator Stephen Greenhorn and the show's best-known actors through the years, this Shieldinch celebration is a must-read for all fans.
