No surprise.
Soap operas have had their day IMO.
Viewing figures are well down on all of them including the likes of Corrie and Eastenders.
Watched a few episodes of River City years ago, and was immediately put off by the fact that it was yet another Glasgow/West of Scotland offering which we have had
rammed down our throats for decades. It's like scottish entertainment/comedy/music begins and finishes at the other end of the M8.

Been a fan of said programme for around 15 years. Sad that the BBC have chosen to axe this given that it still has decent viewing figures and this decision will be a major loss to aspiring and future acting talent in Scotland.

Did Grant Stott not get a role and insist on some Hibs references?
Probably the death knell for a Weegie soap if true.
Weegie and soap in the same sentence.
Should be a prize.

He absolutely did this. His son Stevie (that he didn't know he had) and him started to get together after finding out the truth. Grant wanted to show how much he loved him........so bought him a Hibs scarf - as you do
Several Hibs mentions courtesy of our Grant over the resulting years.

He did so know he had a son. I remember when he done the breakfast show on Radio Forth he mentioned his son .
