It’s all kicking off in tomorrow night’s (Wednesday 8th April) gripping episode of Red Rock, as Sharon is finally pushed to the edge and comes clean about everything that bully boy Brian has been up to. It all starts when earlier in the day, a stressed out Sharon loses her cool while out investigating a complaint with Paudge and a member of the public makes a formal complaint against her for assault. Following the complaint, McKay orders Sharon to take some time off as both he and Angela are concerned that she hasn’t fully recovered from her attack.
Emotional and exhausted, Sharon prepares for her compulsory sick leave but just as she’s about to go Brian sidles up to her and antagonises her further, suggesting that she’s one step away from being gone for good. He knows exactly what buttons to press and this time an infuriated Sharon finally snaps. Much to the surprise of her colleagues, Sharon violently lashes out at Brian and Paudge is forced to hold her back.
It’s the last straw for McKay and once again Sharon is summoned to his office to explain herself. With nothing left to lose, Sharon reveals all to McKay and Angela, telling them about the CCTV footage that she saw of Brian kissing the underage schoolgirl and also his involvement in her attack. But their reaction is not what Sharon expected. Much to her horror, Brian is one step ahead and has forewarned McKay that she might pull a stunt like this, pretending that he had previously rejected a sexual advance she made at him and that she was now trying sabotage his family and career in a bitter rage. Will Sharon’s allegations about Brian be believed and taken seriously or has her war with him just intensified?
Meanwhile, Sean and Adrijan are relieved when they receive news that they have been cleared of any wrong doing in the case of Gerard Curry by GSOC, however Sean takes his delight a step too far and Adrijan has to pull him up on his thoughtless actions.
‘Red Rock’ airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 8.30pm on TV3.

NOTES TO EDITOR
Episode 27
Wednesday 8th April at 8:30pm TV3
Stressed out Sharon loses her cool when out investigating a complaint with Paudge and later that day the chickens come home to roost when a member of the public makes a formal complaint against her for assault. Following the complaint, McKay orders Sharon to take some time off. Both he and Angela are concerned that Sharon hasn’t fully recovered from her attack and they want her to take some time off to recover.
This is the last thing Sharon wants but it’s out of her hands. Emotional and exhausted, she prepares for her compulsory sick leave but just as she’s about to go Brian sidles up to her and antagonises her further, suggesting that she’s one step away from being gone for good. He knows exactly what buttons to press and this time a frustrated Sharon finally snaps. Much to the surprise of her colleagues Sharon lashes out at Brian and Paudge is forced to hold her back.
It’s the last straw for McKay and once again Sharon is summoned to his office to explain herself. Sharon finally confides in McKay and Angela about what she knows about Brian, but their reaction is not what she was expecting. Bully boy Brian is one step ahead and Sharon is in way over her head.
Meanwhile, Sean and Adrijan are relieved when they receive news that they have been cleared of any wrong doing in the case of Gerard Curry by GSOC.
Episode 28
Thursday 9th April at 8:30pm TV3
It’s a tough day for all at Red Rock Garda station as Sharon’s accusations send ripples through the air.
When questioned by Superintendent James McKay, Detective Nikki Grogan and Sergeant Angela Tyrell, Sharon feels confident in her claims, but it’s clear her colleagues’ attitudes are changing towards her and they’re not sure of Sharon anymore. Her behaviour has recently been erratic and she’s been making a lot of mistakes. And besides, Brian has been there much longer than she has…
As the grilling continues, Paudge is called in to McKay’s office and questioned in order to back up Sharon’s claims against Brian. Will Paudge be a true partner in crime and have Sharon’s back?
Under questioning Brian remains adamant and cool, and insists the allegations are all part of an obsession that Sharon has had with him. But McKay throws a curve ball at him. It’s a case of ‘Good Cop’ versus ‘Bad Cop’ as both Sharon and Brian stick to their guns. Is Brian finally about to get his comeuppance or will he get away scot free?
