Drama Comes to Prior's Ford

Actress Meredith Whitelaw, axed from a popular television soap, has descended upon Prior's Ford to 'rest' - but instead she creates havoc for the local dramatic society. Clarissa Ramsay, travelling the world, keeps in contact with her friend Alistair Marshall, who misses her more with each letter that arrives.

Then Clarissa's aloof stepdaughter Alexandra bursts into his life, in search of refuge and consolation. Meanwhile when Jenny Forsyth's long-lost stepdaughter Maggie moves in, Jenny and her husband Andrew discover the sweet little toddler has become a difficult teenager with a grudge to settle.
