Clue time?

....okey dokey.   The literal part of the clue is Miss.  The fact that it's capitalised is remarkably fortuitous....

[john horscroft]

Sorry chaps.  Mine are usually too easy.

So, how about -

Miss Harlech endlessly suffers misdirection (6)

     Miss direction? Smart! Other direction. (6)

Still don't follow the original clue, even now I think I've got the answer! Explanation?

Bugger!  Thought that one was OK!  Miss (a person of the female persuasion) Direction (Right, as in R) smart (Ache, pain, discomfort etc), other direction - Left.....L =Rachel.

I want this to be 'friend' but can't make it fit. Any chance of a clue?

[Stabbsy]

Rachel's without the c?     

[johnx2]

I knew that... (Just a bit too much going on for me - 'leaving her' redundant, but a fair clue.) Anyway:

Oh dear. After 26 pages has my poor clue (or a US highschool current TV comedy/drama shaped hole in solvers' general knowledge), finally brought down this fine thread?

If I say, "You what?" to the parenthesised bit of your post, does that answer your question?   

[johnx2]

I actually watched Li Lo's perihelion 'Mean Girls' last night so I can't claim complete  ignorance of the genre, however I did google to put the clue together. First three words would do it.

[john horscroft]

Sorry John, I'm being exceedingly dim today.....
