"Alas poor Scruff, I knew him well, who could forget that pungent smell?"

Do you mean Stefan, Iam. I think he was Polish.

AyjayF Tue 20-Sept-16 20:04:27

Go,Usha! Go Usha!Go, Usha!!!

Iam64 Tue 20-Sept-16 20:16:47

Yes merlot I did mean Stefan. I've had a long day, followed by a meal with our 4 adult children and their toddlers, it was lovely but chaotic and a bit tiring so I've got my eastern europeans mixed up.
Ok, no hope that Stefan alive or dead is likely to be discovered any time soon.
Yes, Go Usha - I loved her explanation of the Hindu approach to forgiveness.

Good thought about Hungary merlot. I am sure Debbie did make the offer when he was arguing with Brian about the Herbal Ley.

I like your Pavel story-line Iam but it makes you realise some things may never be resolved and others will take quite a bit of unwinding.

I wonder what Rob will do if he is homeless and how that will affect his access. I do hope William doesn't even contemplate letting 1 The Green to him as it will be empty now and he can occasionally be a bit dense.

Won't Emma + Ed be good for Williams house or are they staying at Grange Farm too?

merlotgran Tue 20-Sept-16 20:36:43

I think they'll all have to stay at Grange Farm or they won't be able to afford the rent.

Gracesgran Tue 20-Sept-16 20:36:59

You are not the only one Iam. I have never really got a handle on the various inhabitants of polytunnel or indoor cow sanctuary.

You sound as if you have had a lovely, if tiring, day Iam. Mine has been a long one as my lovely DiL graduated today and the wonders of technology meant it was streamed in real time - starting at 5 a.m. our time! It was worth it though and that, FB and emails meant we could all - from which ever part of the world we are in - be part of the congratulations and celebrations.

merlotgran Tue 20-Sept-16 20:37:13

And Ed has sheep there now.

Gracesgran Tue 20-Sept-16 20:45:34

Clarrie did say they could afford Grange Farm if they all contributed.

At #TheArchers scriptmeeting. Our new editor is sitting in

phoenix Tue 20-Sept-16 23:28:16

The possibilities are many! Where will it go next?

PS Loved a comment on TA Twitter thing, went something like: Rob: "What did I ever do to deserve this?" Response? "The nation prepares a PowerPoint presentation" grin

Nelliemoser Wed 21-Sept-16 00:03:16

Perhaps Ian might move in with Helen and they will have a life long platonic relationship and live happily ever after.?

Gracesgran Wed 21-Sept-16 06:21:13

Interesting new spoilers on Mumsnet. Can't do a link on my Kindle I'm afraid but will put one on later if no one else has.

AyjayF Wed 21-Sept-16 07:09:51

Does anyone remember (?)Darren? He was married to an East European woman who worked at The Laurels. The Grundy's converted a van for him to live in in the woods. Is he still there ??

suzied Wed 21-Sept-16 07:14:22

Didn't he get sent to prison?

Iam64 Wed 21-Sept-16 08:02:32

I remember him, he was a likeable character wasn't he, who ended up homeless after his relationship broke down.

phoenix, that's a great comment about the nation preparing a power point presentation.

Maybe Caz will rent number 1 The Green, after release from HMP. She and her baby can live there, housing benefit will pay the rent. Pat's returning backbone will ensure that she supports Helen who will help Caz regain care of her other children.
Off to read the spoilers on mumsnet.

Hunt Wed 21-Sept-16 09:53:29

I wonder if we shall ever hear a SW say ''I got the idea from the Gransnet Archers Addict's forum!''

Gracesgran Wed 21-Sept-16 10:23:17

The link for the most recent Mumsnet spoilers

LullyDully Wed 21-Sept-16 17:04:46

I always think SW means social worker and GP is general practitioner. Takes my brain a while to key in.

I do wonder if Kaz.was just a story device.or if she will come in again. She was so pivotal to Helen's rebirth and they were good friends. grin

Gracesgran Wed 21-Sept-16 17:26:45

There is a certainly a cross over LD. If you say GP to me I might, if we were talking about illness, etc., think General Practitioner but if it was general my default is a type of sailing dinghy I learned to sail in when I was young in the wonderful bay near where we lived in Cyprus. (Thank you for prompting a lovely memorysmile)

I think we got to know Kaz well and it would be nice if she came back in and if Helen could help her as she owes her a lot really and I think she became very aware of that.

I also hope we don't loose Ian. As I have said before I think the none Archer-family characters are very important to carry story lines forward and give it a sense of real life interaction. Ian and Adam are in that middle generation we will need as time goes by.

merlotgran Wed 21-Sept-16 18:14:54

I wonder if Ian would have been prepared to carry on knowing about Adam's infidelities but not confronting him if he hadn't been humiliated in court?

phoenix Wed 21-Sept-16 18:16:52

Will we ever know, merlot??

merlotgran Wed 21-Sept-16 18:24:39

Probably not, phoenix. I think it's a shame that having put Rob on the back foot by not reacting to his taunts the night before his wedding, Ian is now going to give Rob the satisfaction of thinking he's wrecked the relationship when really it's Adam who's at fault.

Rob will crow!

Gracesgran Wed 21-Sept-16 18:32:21

The relationship may not be over yet, of course. I think the public humiliation would be difficult to bear and other people knowing does mean you have to face things in a way you don't if you are basically the only one. It feels as if living in Ambridge my be increasingly uncomfortable for Rob even if he has somewhere to live.

Gracesgran Wed 21-Sept-16 19:30:22

Another lovely and proper 'Archer's' episode ... which has me wondering when Rob is going to pop up next and what he is going to do!
