Gorgeous episode-I recognise that terrible suspense and of course I remember with great love and admiration Tony Craze, my brilliant literary manager at Soho Poly. Our paths will cross soon I suspect.!

Gillian, I was biting my nails reading this, the suspense was too real! Why is it that the best ones are always the most insecure? You have an affectionate reader in me, and I hope you'll become more confident in your considerable writing talent. I also feel a bit anxious about those children.

Bravo, Gillian! I hope you can enjoy the reception to your play now, looking back on it, even if it was a blur at the time.

I think I mentioned before that I wrote for Just Seventeen magazine about EastEnders when it launched, visiting the set and interviewing some of the young actors. Think I still have the press release filed away somewhere – and the article I wrote. I'll have to dig them out!

I’d love to see your article - and the press release too if you still have it!
