For anyone who missed it, here's the plot so far..........
Weirdly enough, there are amazing similarities between the Hollyoaks and Casualty storylines - must have just recycled the script, changing a few minor details. The general drift was that Harry, Lara and Simon were one team on a team-building exercise. They had to follow a trail of sweets through a cave as the last stage, so in they went, followed by an instructor who was generally lurking in the background when he wasn't busy flirting with Lara. The intrepid 3 stopped about 2 mins into the cave and had a row about which way to go, resulting in Harry storming off down a side passage and straight down a pitch! As Harry was lying at the bottom in agony, the instructor popped up, shouted 'I'm coming' and did his own falling-down-the-pitch trick. This guy managed to land on his head, lose the use of all four limbs and then get hypothermia. Unfortunately, Lara and Simon couldn't do much to raise the alarm as they couldn't find their way out, having eaten the sweetie trail that got them in in the first place! Next followed the obligatory flooding, a quick decision to leave the instructor as he was a dead loss anyway and a miraculous escape (for Harry and Lana) through the sump. The closing scene was a lovely close up shot of Simon floating unconscious under the water.......to be continued next week.
God, don't these programmes give cavers a bade name? I had my mum hysterical on the phone after she saw it - that's all I need!
