THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM GH ONLINE
Issue 44 20 February 2005
Hello!

The school remained in shock this week as Tanya struggled to overcome her ordeal and Togger found himself in hot water with her. Meanwhile everyone was looking forward to the outward bound trip and Kathy's dreams of romance faltered. Off-screen, Grange Hill's 1986 cast reassembled for a special school reunion and you can vote for The Forum's new name!

THE STORY SO FAR...
As school resumed Togger was revelling in his hero status but felt guilty for changing the signs. Tanya skulked outside knowing she'd be the subject of gossip. Karen urged her to come in - saying if she didn't she'd be letting Simon win. Annie and Emma still were still in shock.

Karen and Taylor kissed as Maddie came into class. She warned Karen he was stringing her along; Taylor accused Maddie of jealousy. Spencer and Dawn clashed with Dawn adamant Jeremy was too young as the male lead. Mrs Bassinger called Tanya in to see her and announced she had banned unsupervised web access at school. Tanya returned fire, blaming Mrs B for banning her from the exchange. Maddie announced the new web policy on The Hill, and made no secret of blaming Tanya. An embarrassed Tanya ran off. Annie urged Tanya to stand up for herself - as she would have done before the incident.

Togger was furious that Abel wasn't allowed to play in the football match due to Academy rules. A nasty row erupted and in the heat of things Togger said Tanya was stupid. He was shocked to find Tanya behind him. Words from Martin - preoccupied with a Maths problem - persuaded Maddie to take the lead. Kathy was really falling for Spencer and was increasingly convinced he felt the same way. She later saw him picking a flower from the garden which she assumed was for her. When Spencer announced he'd got something for her, Kathy was presented not with the flower, but a dictionary for checking the script!

Karen carpeted Maddie for humiliating Tanya. Maddie devised a set-up for Karen; she arranged to meet Taylor in the drama room for some "radio tips" while Martin would get Karen for her to meet her there. Tanya returned to the radio station and spoke frankly of her ordeal on air. Shooting began on the school DVD; Spencer put the flower in Miss Adams' room so she'd think it was from Malachay. The ruse worked and Spencer filmed the pair flirting. Karen arrived in the drama room - just as Maddie and Taylor kissed.

Alex brought his swimming kit and decided to bite the bullet, but Alison texted to say she wouldn't be in today. The atmosphere in Year 11's maths class was tense; Maddie tried apologising to Karen to no avail. Karen and Maddie continued to thrash out their differences. Taylor cornered Karen, but she refused to listen to his protests of innocence. He then warned Maddie to fix the mess she started - and that he never could fancy her! Martin was angry the feud was interfering with their classwork!

Togger ended up putting his foot in it further with Tanya. Abel fell asleep in Malachay's class; Malachay reminded Abel he would have to make sacrifices if he wanted to make the grade. Tanya freaked out when she thought she saw her attacker go by. It was Wally, dressed in an identical top. Alex tried blagging his way out of swimming, but Mr McDonnell was having none of it. Alex managed to swim from one end of the pool to the other. However, afterwards his shirt went missing and someone had scrawled "Jumbo No. 1" on the back. Mr McDonnell suggested extra swimming lessons as part of the mentoring scheme.

Kathy caught Spencer filming Malachay and he revealed he was collecting embarrassing shots of Malachay - to show at the premiere as payback. The school was getting excited about an outward bound trip. Alex couldn't make up his mind whether to go; Baz warned Annie not to pressure their dad into finding the £100 cost. Annie and Emma convinced Tanya it was just what she needed to forget her recent troubles. Annie accidentally dropped her credit card. She claimed her mum set it up for her.

Mr Fox pressured Alex for a decision on the trip. Kathy was shocked when Spencer told Alex to get himself into trouble - so he could get some footage of Malachay telling him off! Alex filmed another camcorder soliloquy; and resolved to go on the outward bound course, lose weight and go on a diet to impress Alison.

Another attempt by Togger to smooth things over with Tanya failed; he freaked her out by touching her on the back. Tanya said if he was going on the trip, she wasn't. With Abel enjoying a kickabout with some other lads, Togger was really feeling isolated.
