THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM GH ONLINE Issue 72 11 December 2005
Hello!

Sorry there hasn't been a GH NEWS for two weeks, but it's a very busy time of year! And in case you were wondering, Christmas is almost here and GH Online will have its usual sackload of goodies to keep you entertained when you need to escape from Uncle Clifford or Auntie Mabel...

Togger and Tanya

Holly Mai

Last Time on Grange Hill
Series 29 has now ended its run on the CBBC Channel, but here's what happened in the final week:

Sammy finally put her foot down and refused to help Chloe sell the stolen MP3 player. But Chloe and Andrea persuade Sammy to deliver it to the winning bidder, who turned out to be its rightful owner, Dawn! Sammy took the rap and Chloe sent a video of her telling-off throughout the school. Unfortunately, Miss Adams was right behind the twosome and gave them detention for bullying Sammy!

Martin was certain the wind turbine group were cheating but no-one took his claims seriously. He brought an anemometer to school and discovered a secret cable running to the turbine; as a result the group were disqualified and Martin was promoted to runner-up in the competition.

Taylor won the enterprise competition but came to the end of his school days when he couldn't meet an essay deadline. Mrs Bassinger threw him a lifeline - a job as assistant caretaker - which was seriously tempting. But Taylor and Karen reached crisis point and she wanted a break from him.

Mooey warned Alex to throw the G-1 final in his favour, but Alex promised Tigger his winnings to go to EuroDisney with Ed. In the event Alex won but forgot to lock his locker, allowing Mooey to steal the money. And Emma returned to Grange Hill after her mum and Robin split up in Indonesia.

Togger lorded it over the brand-spanking new toilets. He found himself trapped in a cubicle with Tanya when hiding from Mr Malachay - they actually enjoyed each other's company and might have kissed had Jeremy not turned up suddenly. The series ended with Tanya waiting for Togger after school, but he was too busy bailing Tigger out of trouble with Mooey. When Tanya walked out of the gates, boy was Togger kicking himself!

Catch up with the action for the entire series in our Series 29 Episode Guides. If you missed any episodes or you don't have digital, the series will be shown again Mondays and Wednesdays from the New Year!

Charlie McDonagh Lisa moves to EastEnders
CHARLOTTE McDONAGH
is the latest Grange Hill graduate to move from Northam to Albert Square. The blonde actress - Lisa West until 2002 - played a ne'er-do-well in Thursday's episode of EastEnders, which centred around Stacey's attempts to sort out her mum.

There's no word on whether Charlie will appear again, but you never know...

Coming soon...Fan Fiction
THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE SEEN
an explosion of Grange Hill fan fiction on the Forum. And the quality of it all is excellent - it shows how dedicated you are to Grange Hill!

So look out in the New Year for a new Fan Fiction section on GH Online. In the meantime keep posting your fanfics on the Forum, and we'll make copies for publication on the main site.

What is Fan fiction, I hear some of you cry? Basically, you become the writer and make up your own Grange Hill stories and/or scripts! Fan fiction can be set in any era of Grange Hill, from Tucker and Benny to Togger and Tigger. You can bring back old GH characters or imagine what they did when they left Grange Hill - the possibilities are endless!

If you'd like to contribute to our growing collection of fan fiction, feel free to post yours on The Blackboard or send them to simon@grangehill.net. Get writing!
