*** HELP SAVE GH ONLINE ***

Last Monday was supposed to be a great day for GH Online, with the new series starting, However, Mersey TV temporarily suspended the site on the day and we're now operating a reduced service. But GH Online is fighting back! Read on for details of how you can show your support and how you can join the GH Online team!

	THE STORY SO FAR... A brand new gang of Year 7s descended on Grange Hill for their induction day. Togger escorted younger brother Tigger into school and was determined to get a photo to prove he was successful. Alex brought his radio-controlled blimp into school. Tigger tied his tie - and Mum's mobile - to it. Chloe commandeered the remote control and the blimp hit Mr Malachay on the head as he cycled into school! In assembly, Mrs Bassinger gave the newcomers a video presentation. Chloe taunted Alex about his size and had another go at lunchtime. Malachay and Wally chased the blimp with a huge net, Togger and Abel held it to ransom until Tim agreed to post for his photo. Tigger conned Wally into wielding the lock off Togger's locker so he could retrieve the blimp. It was the last day of Mr Malachay's football camp. Malachay revealed there was a talent scout for the local squad. Spencer was keen to show new Lower Sixth pupils Dawn, Katrina and Kate around. They seemed unimpressed with his efforts. Maddie told a crestfallen Baz she still cared for him a lot but didn't want to risk being hurt again. At the end of the day Miss Lawrence ran over Malachay's bike! Malachay got a new one identical to Baz's. Emma returned from holiday refreshed and much happier. Tanya had lost hone of her rebellious streak, sporting hair braids and a tattoo on her ankle. Year 9 were aghast to discover Mr Malachay was their new form tutor. Jeremy let it slip that he and Emma had been to a Britney concert together, embarrassing her. Chloe suggested the Wannabees set up a tuck shop business. Mooey took a shot at Alex about his size, and the taunts were getting to him. However, things looked up when the mysterious Alison was nice to him. Karen was impressed by Taylor's musical project in the CRC. The atmosphere had soured between Baz and Maddie when Taylor let slip Maddie was with another boy. Both Mrs Bassinger and Mr Malachay challenged Tanya about her new look, and she flatly refused to comply. She suffered humiliation when she was forced to admit the tattoo was a fake. Togger, Abel and Andy got detention from Malachay. A truckload of manure gave Togger the perfect idea of revenge; they tricked the driver into dumping his load onto Malachay's new bike. Unfortunately it was Baz's bike they'd sabotaged and Baz made Togger and co. dig it out! Catch Grange Hill every Monday and Wednesday at 4:35pm on BBC1! http://www.grangehill.net/know/update.html
