When Jimmi agrees to help his buddy Al check out a woodland location for the next session of Live Action Role Playing, will Jimmi agree to join in?

So far, Al Haskey has managed to convince his surgery colleagues Ayesha Lee and Valerie Pitman to get dressed-up in costume for some live-action role-playing. So will Jimmi Clay be next?

Al railroads buddy Jimmi into helping him checkout a woodland location for another LARPing event he is organising. But, once there, mischievous medic Jimmi can't resist teasing Al as much as possible about his love of fighting fantasy, goblins and beasties!

Meanwhile, even on his day off, Daniel Granger cannot escape from his bossy boots wife Zara Carmichael!

Daniel is not impressed when Zara leaves him with a long list of chores to do. Plus the couple's son Joe has started to react to the stress of his parents' constant arguments and refuses to go to school.

However, things start to look up for Daniel when he bumps into Becky Clarke, the possible replacement for Mrs Tembe at the surgery. After hearing some of Becky's ideas, will Daniel change his negative opinions and agree to invite her for an interview for the job at The Mill?

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters. Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave? Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.

Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)

And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
