THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM GH ONLINE
Issue 42 06 February 2005

Hello...

Just a brief GH News this week - anguish for Togger as his football dreams were shattered but it was Tanya who felt the full force of Mrs Bassinger. And the film vote delivered a shock result and the pupils were in revolt...

THE STORY SO FAR...
Annie was annoyed that Dad had bought Baz a PlayStation for not getting in the football squad. Sammy warned Chloe she couldn't go on supplying sweets, but she seemed not to care. Under pressure to drum up numbers for the mentoring scheme, Malachay put the idea of a mentor to Alex.

Spencer was determined the film would be something the pupils wanted and not the teachers. Malachay was in full toadying mode and encouraged the pupils to vote for the contemporary option. The pupils, keen to make things go against him, made a point of voting for My Fair Lady. Taylor made his DJ debut and made a mockery of the school notices and the staff. Mrs Bassinger allowed the station to continue, Kat warned Taylor to tone it down and he was forced to deliver a humiliating on-air apology.

Malachay told Abel he was in the squad. But Togger wasn't - and he was so upset he hid in the corner and broke down. Chloe agreed to wind up the tuck shop to pay off Sammy's dad, but at lunchtime Malachay caught the girls trading. Chloe and Andrea disappeared, leaving Sammy to carry the can. Spencer was less than thrilled when Malachay persuaded him to join the mentoring scheme. Realising it would impress the girls, he reluctantly agreed. A meeting was set up between Spencer and Alex; Spencer told Alex he had no time for his problems and to tell Malachay everything was OK when asked!

Andy and Abel couldn't find Togger; the girls were so wrapped up in their French e-mailing Andy blurted out that Togger was rejected. Togger reacted badly when Tanya tried to show genuine concern. The film team were amazed when My Fair Lady won the film vote. Abel caught up with Togger and tactlessly invited him for a kickabout - he just wanted to go home.

Tanya came into school wearing red stilettos and predictably was pulled up by Miss Adams. She changed back into her school shoes after giving Miss Adams a piece of her mind. Annie rolled in late for registration; Miss Adams tried to find out what was wrong.

The film team protested to Mrs Bassinger about the poll result. Mrs Bassinger ruled the result must stand - My Fair Lady it is. A furious Spencer vowed to have nothing to do with the production. Annie showed Baz a letter from her mum - she was pregnant again, Annie was furious and was surprised by Baz's laid-back reaction. Tanya dolled herself up for the photo; Emma stood guard at the door and was almost disturbed by Mrs Bassinger.

Maddie was upset when Karen snubbed a girls' night out to see Taylor. Karen denied Maddie's suggestion their relationship was one-sided. Baz and Togger commiserated each other for not making the academy. Annie found a credit card application form - and filled it in her mum's name. Baz turned up late for swimming practice and stormed off when scolded by Malachay. Malachay threw him off the team.

Malachay persuaded Spencer the film could be his own interpretation of My Fair Lady. Tanya was told to remove her hair extensions by the weekend - or else. She locked herself in the radio room and publicly attacked the school rules. Mrs Bassinger lay in wait for Tanya and banned her from the French exchange. Togger, looking on, even thought this was harsh.
