Millie Week 31 - Mon 1 - Sat 6 March 1991

The missing strip here is from Easter Monday, which doubled as April Fools Day. Here's the script or that day.

1. Millie is outside the door to Richard's room, on the landing. She is calling to Richard to come out.
MILLIE:  HEY! RICHARD! GUESS WHO I'VE GOT OUT HERE TO SEE YOU... GEMMA! AND SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO GO OUT WITH YOU.

2. Millie listens to the reply thru the door.
RICHARD:  IF YOU THINK I'M FALLING FOR A FEEBLE APRIL FOOLS JOKE LIKE THAT YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THINK COMING!

3. Open up the shot. Millie turns to the girl standing next to her on the landing, hitherto off-frame. It is none other than Gemma herself, trying hard not to laugh.
GEMMA: I LOVE A GOOD DOUBLE BLUFF, DON'T YOU?

Easter then segues into a storyline about dieting and body image. Personally I find fat happy people far more attractive than thin whiny ones.
