Scared Sharon confides in partner Paudge about Brian’s bullying
When Paudge learns that Brian is behind Sharon’s attack he desperately wants to help her, but with Brian transfixed on keeping Sharon quiet it seems keeping quiet might be her best and safest option.
Sharon is distraught and devastated at the realisation that Brian might get away with his skulduggery.
Michael hits the bottle when he finds out he could be facing up to 10 years in prison, but only makes matters worse when he’s caught drink driving.
‘Red Rock’ airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 8.30pm on TV3.

Sharon finds herself utterly helpless in tomorrow night’s Red Rock as she reveals to Paudge that Brian was behind her attack. Paudge wants to support her, but he thinks the best option for Sharon’s sake is to let go of this fight. It is clear Brian will stop at nothing to keep Sharon quiet and Paudge doesn’t want Sharon to get hurt again or worse still, be killed.
Paudge maintains that Sharon should take this as a warning that Brian is not to be messed with and she should keep quiet for her own safety. Sharon is distraught that keeping schtum could be her only option and is devastated at the realisation that Brian might get away with his skulduggery. She yearns to see him brought to justice but will it be at the cost of her own life?
Knowing what Brian is capable of, Sharon is terrified and begs Paudge to stop him from visiting her again in hospital, however Paudge’s attempts of keeping Brian at bay are fruitless and he soon pays Sharon an ominous visit. He maliciously hints that her life could be in danger if she does not put in for a transfer to another station.
Meanwhile, Patricia and Claire discuss Michael’s future with him, and the likelihood that he will be charged with manslaughter. Michael is extremely upset at the prospect that he could face anything up to 10 years in prison. After drowning his sorrows with David, Michael, in a blind rage, attempts to drive while intoxicated and is caught by the Gardaí. The latest offence could be detrimental to his case if he is charged.
Back at the station, Adrijan and Sean deal with a man whose daughter is missing, but someone isn’t being completely honest.

NOTES TO EDITOR
Rock-Episode 17
Wednesday 4th March at 8:30pm TV3
Patricia and Claire discuss Michael’s future with him, and the likelihood of a charge of manslaughter, with the prospect of a lengthy stay in jail. It’s not murder though, so that’s at least something! Michael The Murderer doesn’t really have a ring to it!
As David helps Michael drown his sorrows, Michael grabs the car keys, and it’s driving under the influence that looks like the next likely notch on his bedpost of crime. Which Kiely will he take down with him this time?
Paudge goes to the see Sharon and she reveals she thinks Brian was behind her attack. If he can lure a schoolgirl, getting a fellow Garda beaten up is child’s play! Paudge tries to support her, but reckons she should take this as a warning; Brian is not to be messed with, and next time he could have her killed.
Later Brian pays Sharon a visit and he hints that her life could be in danger if she does not get a transfer to another station. Meanwhile, back at the station, Adrijan and Sean deal with a man whose daughter is missing, but someone isn’t being completely honest.
Red Rock-Episode 18
Thursday 5th March at 8:30pm TV3
Superintendent James McKay comes to see a fragile Sharon in hospital. Desperate Sharon tries to summon the courage to tell the truth about bully boy Brian and his involvement in her attack, but bottles it and announces she wants a transfer. Blue steel McKay however, refuses her, leaving Sharon in an even bigger mess than Keith Kiely’s bedroom.
As Paudge comes to visit Sharon, she tells him of the danger and gravity of the situation. Paudge is ready to step in and play her knight in shining armour.
Never one to take things lying down and proving she’s a tough cookie, Sharon makes a surprise appearance and declares that she won’t be opting for the transfer, after all. Brian’s plan to get rid of Sharon has failed in dramatic fashion, and she’s determined not to let him away with it.
Over at the Tyrells’, Angela is apologetic and is determined to make a bigger effort with her family. However, Tommy goes behind her back and signs son Stephen to play football for Shamrock Rovers. Tommy sticks the knife in as he claims Angela is never there, and accuses her of spending every waking minute at the station, justified really, given there’s a lot of crime going on, not to mention a possible murderer on the loose!
Adrijan and Sean get to the bottom of the missing girl, and there’s a shock for her father as his daughter reveals she is in fact a lesbian. However, her father, a strict Muslim, doesn’t take it well and heartbreak ensues.
