So, as the trial has been and gone, we are all glad that Helen won, and Rob had his true self revealed, will the rift 'tween Adam & Ian be healed?

Whose jam will be judged to be the best? Will Joe approach his final rest?

Will Grange Farm rent be paid on time?

Can I be arsed inspired to write more drivel rhyme?

Away we go!

Wondering if it is a wife and child in Brighton or a gay lover hmm

There's bound to be some backstory. I am a bit fed up with the way Toby is being portrayed as the useless lothario. I am hoping he comes good as I can understand why he is more attractive to Pip than the wet weekend that is Rex.

I wonder if their father will die and leave them loads of money?

Elrel Thu 29-Dec-16 11:04:33

It's Toby previous girlfriend isn't it? Hope Rex catches him cheating on besotted Pip. She did say 'juggling' so maybe she's seen the writing on the wall!
Who is Ganderman's understudy? Who is Justin's? Bring on Charles Paris!!

So.....Are we surprised???

AyjayF Fri 30-Dec-16 20:17:17

Oo-er Kirsty!

Luckygirl Fri 30-Dec-16 20:29:01

I wasn't surprised because we get the Radio Times delivered by post and it comes very early - the Archers spiel in there gave the game away. I hope that you will appreciate my restraint in not letting the cat out of the bag grin

I think this will be a great storyline. Pat and Tony might just have a grandchild that's born to loving parents - even though we don't know how their relationship is going to pan out.

How will Helen cope with no longer being the centre of the universe?

Some of us predicted the pregnancy on this thread a few pages back, but as time went by I thought we were wrong. smile

Rob's reaction to the news should be interesting.

AyjayF Mon 02-Jan-17 19:57:34

Helen should have kept the card as evidence that Rob is not keeping out of hers + Henry's life.

merlotgran Mon 02-Jan-17 20:03:14

I wanted to scream when Pat started treating Helen like a fragile flower just because she started making suggestions about what she'd like to do in the shop.

What with Henry still talking like a three year old and Jack still in a Moses basket.....there really is something odd about that family grin

AyjayF Mon 02-Jan-17 20:21:20

How old is Henry?

merlotgran Mon 02-Jan-17 20:24:00

He was six today and had his birthday party in a soft play area hmm

DaphneBroon Mon 02-Jan-17 21:08:23

Our DGS had his fifth and his sixth parties at a place called Tumble Jungle in Birmingham. It was carnage (but I suppose might qualify for the designation "Soft Play" area?)

"Indoor adventure playground" they call,themselves.
The children loved it.

Wow. Those Button girls. Wonder what they wrote on Robs windscreen??!!

Iam64 Tue 03-Jan-17 21:43:47

What do we know about the Button girls? I only remember hearing about them in the panto auditions. Loving them already, George grundy has competition for being a scaly wag

Iam64 Tue 03-Jan-17 21:44:20

I mean a scally wag not a scaly one

merlotgran Tue 03-Jan-17 22:24:37

Every now and again the Button girls are mentioned but does anyone know anything about them other than they have a knack of popping up and raising eyebrows?

Didn't one of them make eyes at Johnny when he first appeared in Ambridge. I think it was the village fete or something?

They're a scriptwriter's dream. When in doubt, get the Button girls involved. Nobody else would dare write wanker a nasty message in lipstick on Rob's windscreen.

AyjayF Tue 03-Jan-17 22:52:20

Love them Buttons!!

Elrel Tue 03-Jan-17 23:05:54

I thought they were still at primary school! Didn't Molly B ruin Lynda's maypole dance a few years ago? They deserve bigger roles, come on SW!!

suzied Wed 04-Jan-17 02:44:44

And Tracey Horobin seems to have found a voice !

Nelliemoser Wed 04-Jan-17 07:44:07

Rob engage in therapy! In the first place he does not feel anything is his fault.
Is there any therapy about?
Would any sensible person ever want to trust him again?

NfkDumpling Wed 04-Jan-17 07:57:34

I think Rob will engage in therapy, get the vicar on side. Try to wiggle his way back into Helen's affections. It's the only way to get to His Boys and regain control, recognition and authority.
