Rock Rivals

ITV 1

March - April 2008







This glossy drama focuses upon the superficial world of an X-Factor-like TV talent show, with Michelle Collins playing panel judge Karina Faith, and Sean Gallagher playing her husband and fellow judge, Mal Faith.



The power couple have all the trappings of a successful life, that is until Mal makes one devastating mistake that sees them battling each other both on and off the air. Each must cope with the pressure of splitting their home while fighting to get their proteges to the final of "Rock Rivals".



The show also has a unique angle: two alternate endings were filmed, with the audience deciding between the penultimate and final episodes - thus deciding who will win "Rock Rivals".





Starring: Sean Gallagher, Michelle Collins, Alison Newman, Sophia Dawnay, Nicola Hughes, Adam Leese, Sol Heras, Holly Quin-Ankrah

Felix returns to work in the house, but the signals Luke is giving off only confuse him more.





Episode 7 (16th April 2008)



Jinx tries to make Mal take responsibility for the baby, as he and Karina prepare to renew their vows in an elaborate and expensive ceremony.
