Its starting to bore me. Us poor men are always getting the worst of it.

Unfortunately, River City reached nadir last night.

Why oh why would the doctor breach patient confidentiality by discussing a condition with said patient's friends. Further, why would she chase them around the streets? Have the script writers never been to see a doctor before? For the show to end in the doctor's house was absolutely absurd as well - where was her husband?

I'm also disappointed with the completely inaccurate portrayal of epilepsy. Credit to the show for tackling the issue but there is no way that the boy would collapse and have a fit after having been booed at a boxing event. That was a pathetic scene.

The show has become a complete joke.

Oh dear. Not happy that the writers are tweaking all of the characters' personalities again (as if we wouldn't notice). I'm particularly annoyed that all of the female characters now are either moaning minnies (even Liz now) or control freaks in need of medication (Jen, Scarlett and Molly.) The men aren't much better - it says something when Lenny is the only man not feeling sorry for himself. Bring back the strong characters of Shieldinch.

Agree that Marianne's competence is sorely lacking. What GP has time to run around the streets looking to meddle in patients' lives? She should be in her office signing forms to put people on the sick!

I cannot agree that the show is a joke, as bad as it did get in the past I still stuck with it, thank goodness the writers listened and got rid of the cheesy music and the plots concerning Marianne etc, I was so glad to see the return of not only Tommy but also Heather and now of course the wonderful Iona, but I am still waiting for a decent response to the following, so Anna please have a look, we still have good weeks and bad weeks but it will never ever be depressing like Eastenders !! I stopped watching that years ago.......

I am now re posting my questions would a member of staff please reply.

I hate being critical of the show, but the boxing stuff was awful, if Innes is a boxer, then I'm Amir Khan! The doctor stuff was poor too. The standards have dropped again.

Anna thank you so much for the reply, I will forward my questions, I am loving the programme, and like I say I will stick with it through thick and thin, all the soaps have quiet times and I think that reflects real life in general, either that or we start to go down the route of Midsomer Murders for example, now that would be boring, so come on everyone stick with it, it's a great home grown soap, so support it, we have some fantastic characters and some absolutely brilliant actors/actresses so please at least give them a chance, they do their best with the scripts they have.

Just got my laptop back after being fixed so at long last i can give a comment.Loving River City its just been so funny regarding Scarletts family especially big Bob.Una Mclean is brilliant as Scarletts mother really funny story lines and poor big Bob just cant seem to get a job.Scarlet gave up in the end trying to get him a job,it was so funny regarding what happened at Ginas cafe.Surely their must be a job out their for him somewhere,maybe a job like Jimmys got.I couldnt blame Scarlet chucking Molly out jings shes something else,poor Scarlet tried to bite her tongue and it wasnt easy for her.That was really nice that Malcolm has asked Liz to marry him,they make a lovely couple and hopefully Liz will say yes.As for Innis yes it is a shame but he will be able to live with the epilepsy and im sure Charley and Jen will keep an eye on him.Cant understand why folk that write in seem to think that no way would that happen when he was being jeered and taunted and he took a fit.Stress can bring it on it can come on anytime and it was good that Mariann came to see Innis to tell him rather than phone him up.If Charleys sister hadnt told Mariann about him taking part in the fight then Innis would have been knocked out and he would have made the epilepsy worse.So its a blessing that she found out when she did to stop the fight.Keep up the great story lines fair enjoying it,thankyou.

I can't believe that Eloise's comments are "off topic" and the reason I even registered for the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ site was to voice similar concerns. What is happening to the writing on River City?

Why is there no consistency in the characters? For example, since Bob got back from Prague Nicki's personality has changed to fit the story line. This is just one example, there are several others, Although glad to see Iona back, in her first week she was a different character only to return to a more recognisable Iona the following week. I could list more but I won't in case that is "off topic"

To sum up, why should the viewers care about the characters and story lines if the writers and the cast don't bother. Sort it out, please.
