We've seen lots of faces come and go, some loved some hated - we've seen weddings, deaths and many scraps throughout the years.
The Glasgwegian-based soap first launched on September 24 2002, and this Saturday a River City: 20 Year Celebration episode will feature on BBC iPlayer, and on Monday September 26, a special anniversary episode will air on BBC ONE Scotland with fans promised a trip down memory lane.
