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!

Let's face it Jills a bit up herself sometimes and needs a bit of a talking to. Why can't Toby have a gin business ( legally)? What's the betting she's invited him for Christmas?

Poor Alan, trying to deal with Rob, enough to test anyone's faith! Being the vicar he can't get out of an unpleasant situation. Sounds as if there could be a scene at the Nativity! Or will Rob make a run for it with poor little Jack, he needs sectioning.
As for Toby - how dare the little barsteward speak to Jill like that?! She's a tough lady but such contempt as he called her 'Grandma' - nasty! Let's hope that sooner or later he drops his guard in front of Pip. There's always Rex to pick up the pieces of her broken heart.

Pleased that we just heard about the hearing from Pat,Anna + Helens reactions and didn't have to sit through it.
What will Rob do with all those bedrooms now.
Some please just tell Henry he won't be seeing Rob any more + get it over with.

Yes very sad about Sara Coward. She has been in the Archers a long time and I wondered why she had suddenly decided to up sticks to Italy. I am getting bored with TA lately, turkeys, gin and PIp! May give it a rest for a while and check on here to see if anything interesting's happening.......

Yes. It is sad about Sara Coward. I wonder if they'll write Oliver out if when they retire to Tuscany.

How many geese does Rex have to slaughter and dress? There's no mention of a mechanical plucker or anything other than a bit of half-hearted help from Josh. hmm

Toby strikes again!

Sad to hear Sara Coward (Caroline Sterling) has terminal cancer.

Well! I'm shock Shame on you, Elizabeth! "Lily has been sending out the INVITES" !!!!

You'll be talking about serviettes next!

AyjayF Thu 01-Dec-16 10:56:14

Whatever happened to Nic + her children? Poppy must be getting on now. Not a word.

merlotgran Thu 01-Dec-16 10:04:26

Aga???

merlotgran Thu 01-Dec-16 10:03:41

Is Keira the same aga as Henry? She sounds about three.....As does Henry hmm

AyjayF Thu 01-Dec-16 09:57:32

At last. A speaking role for Keira even if it was just before she threw up!

merlotgran Wed 30-Nov-16 09:25:32

Why don't the SWs allow the children to have normal development?

Jack will probably be stuck in that Moses basket until he starts school. grin

Elrel Wed 30-Nov-16 01:31:41

I thought that between them poor exploding Keira and lively Holly would render the yellow dress not just unreturnable but unwearable and possibly besmirch Neil's suit too. I think Holly should be in the photo anyway, someone tell Snobby Susan that it's classy to have one's dogs in one's family group.

Elrel Wed 30-Nov-16 01:25:06

Ayjay - and wouldn't be in it for very long! Oops!

AyjayF Tue 29-Nov-16 07:09:04

Just a point of detail for the scriptwriters. A baby who can sit up wouldn't/ shouldn't be in a Moses basket.

merlotgran Mon 28-Nov-16 21:10:08

I think it has started in a subtle kind of way, Ayjay. I noticed when Lil told Jenny about her affair with Justin she said only Tony knew about it because he'd sussed what was going on. She then tells Justin that her family have put two and two together....Again, no mention of Rob.

I wonder if Tony's plan is to draw Rob out because he won't be able to bear the fact that his knowledge of the affair hasn't got them all at eachother's throats.

I wonder if Rob will tell Miranda in the same way he informed Ian of Adam's flings.

I do like a bit of skulduggery grin

AyjayF Mon 28-Nov-16 21:03:41

Has Lilian + Tony's plot against Rob started yet? Are they playing the long game?

nancyma Fri 25-Nov-16 23:58:20

I'm fed up with Robs character he's too predictable, I think he should get a job in Canada and stop putting those children at risk. I want Helen become really successful and happy not a victim.

Iam64 Fri 25-Nov-16 20:19:32

By the way, Pip must be 22 or 23 mustn't she? She graduated a while ago and should be through the adolescent rebellion against her parents phase. Especially as she and her unpleasant boyfriend seem to be living rent free on her parent's farm. Grow up Pip and get rid of the freeloading Tobes.

Iam64 Fri 25-Nov-16 20:18:03

First Tony finds his backbone, now David has thrown a wobblie at Pip n Toby. David has obviously reached the limit of his patience with Toby and threatened him (and Pip) with eviction if they continue to operate an illegal still in the kitchen. What fireworks.

merlotgran Thu 24-Nov-16 19:42:01

Can't wait to find out what Tony has in mind.

Sounds like the Home Farm lot are going to be the next family falling apart at the seams with Brookfield right behind them.

Season of Good Cheer anyone?

AyjayF Thu 24-Nov-16 19:25:59

Ooh! Tony + Lilian in a conspiracy against Rob. How delicious?

Elrel Wed 23-Nov-16 20:39:12

Lilian does seem worried. Rob's trying for a repeat of his finessing small facts and tricking people into telling him more, as he did re Adam and Ian. It was so clever, subtle and down right evil.
His approach to Justin may be completely different as he knows Justin trusts him and wants to help him put things behind him. Tony should have done the 'Oh, look, something shiny!' when Rob mentioned Lilian's 'relationship'. Justin will probably be told that Tony was gossiping about him.

AyjayF Wed 23-Nov-16 10:57:17

Said it before. Say it again. Bring it on Rob!
