Gloss

There's a Redfern wedding underway and under wraps. What would happen if Maxine (Ilona Rodgers) found out is too horrible to contemplate. Gloss's big story had a question mark hanging over it and Gemma Stace (Miranda Harcourt) is trying to get grips with the big city.

What will Maxine do? Brad (Michael Keir-Morrissey) and Caro's (Donna Clark) marriage has got off to a less than certain beginning, Gemma's first assignment turns out to be more than she bargained for and Chelsea (Lisa Chappell) is proving to be quite a handful.

Maxine decides that Gloss needs a more positive image but someone forgets to tell Chelsea, there's a new magazine on the horizon and Maxine has a little surprise for Olivia (Yvonne Lawley).

Brad tries to bribe his way into Chelsea's good books with disastrous results, Gloss has some new competition and Gemma is learning the hard way.

Maxine has always regarded hate mail as an occupational hazard but this is getting out of control, Olivia has to pull a few strings and Brad's business dealings could have an adverse effect on his marriage.

Maxine takes Caro on a lunch date that is not all it seems, Chelsea is having Rex Thorne (Peter Elliott) trouble and Gemma agonises over the agony aunt.

There is a new issue of Electra, one that contains an unpleasant surprise for Maxine, Brad's business ambitions suffer a blow and Gemma is driven to seek solace in strange quarters.

It's Chelsea's birthday party and the storm clouds gather on the horizon, Maxine digs up some dirt on Caro and Gemma is having relationship problems.

The birthday party descends into a seething mass of accusations and recriminations, Gemma's big story has alarm bells ringing in the Redfern empire and Greg (Mark Maiden) returns to the scene of the crime.

Caro and Brad's marriage faces it biggest test and Maxine is waiting in the wings, Alistair (Simon Prast) and Sam (Derek Hardwick) conspire and Gemma is made an offer she can't refuse.

Brad and Caro reach an all-time low or do they? Gemma learns a thing or two about ambition and Jasmine (Geeling Ng) lands Gloss in a whole heap of trouble.

The scent of seduction is in the air, Gloss hits the pits as the vultures circle and Maxine has a plan for Alistair.

Crunch time for Brad and Caro, but where's Brad? Gemma does a spot of investigative journalism, Campbell (Sean Duffy) has a rather dubious business proposal but Alistair has other things on his mind.

The strangest people are interested in Olivia's fate, Alistair gets a bit too greedy for his own good and a change of direction for Gloss.

Alistair stumbles from crisis to crisis, fast becoming aware that his life is disappearing before his very eyes, Rex makes his big move as Maxine prepares to clip his wings and with Brad at the helm will the Redfern family survive?

Olivia's got a little secret, one that the rest of the family may not be overly thrilled about, tension runs high at the Gloss office as the showdown with Phoenix looms and a dinner party at the Redferns has more than its share of surprise guests.

The Redfern family has been stood completely on its head, wedded bliss for Alistair? Gloss without Maxine? Meanwhile, Brad is haunted by the past and Rex is toying with his newfound power.

Will Gemma make it down the aisle? Is Rex's world looking a bit on the shaky side? And where is Bridget? Alistair and Gemma's wedding day looks set to rock the foundations of the Redfern family.
