Emily Longeretta If the last few seasons of “The Challenge” seemed a bit different — and a bit too focused on confusing twists and themes — don’t fret. MTV’s upcoming 38th season is heading back to basics. “I think in the past few seasons, even going back to ‘Total Madness,’ they’ve been kind of tough themes to follow — like, who’s a liar, who’s a spy and who’s an outlier? Historically, what does the best for us is simple concepts where we can pick our winners and pick our horses and watch it unfold,” veteran player Jordan Wiseley said on the latest episode of the “Reality Rundown” podcast. “Casting wise, we went back to our roots. You have to cast outside of the pool to expand the show. I understand what we’re doing. We’re the best competition show globally, we have to bring in those new people. But we have a diehard fan base. We have the best fans in the world, so you’ve got to honor that and I think we did that with Season 38.”
River City star Jordan Young says soap has 'changed his life' ahead of 20th anniversary
22.09.2022 - 13:35 / dailyrecord.co.uk
River City actor Jordan Young, who plays Alex Murdoch in the Scottish soap, says it has 'changed his life' as the cast and crew prepare to celebrate 20 years since the first episode aired.
On Saturday, exactly two decades to the day since the likes of 'Shellsuit Boab' first appeared on the streets of 'Shieldinch, River City: 20 Year Celebration' will be available on iPlayer.
The special anniversary episode of River City will then debut on the BBC Scotland channel on Monday, September 26 at 10pm, and again on BBC One on Tuesday.
It'll see Bob O'Hara, played by Stephen Purdon, and best mate Angus Lindsay, played by Scott Fletcher, wake up in a parallel dimension where all is not as it seems as they come face-to-face with ghosts from Shieldinch's past.
The storyline centres around Bob's disastrous birthday celebrations where - after drinking a 20-year-old bottle of vintage wine with Angus - the hungover pair wake up in a world they don’t recognise, where their lives have taken an altogether different direction.
As they navigate their way through this surreal multiverse, the friends come across familiar faces from Shieldinch's past, with iconic characters like former owner of the Oyster Cafe Gina Rossi, played by Libby McArthur, barman Raymond Henderson, played by Paul Samson, and hairdresser Robbie Fraser, played by Gary Lamont, returning for this must see episode.
Stephen Purdon is the only original cast member left in River City.
Jordan Young joined in 2013 and has been opening up to the Daily Record about the impact the soap has had on his life.
H said: "River City has been life-changing for me. Genuinely life-changing.
