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!

My friend had a reversal last year and got a hospital bug , became very ill , in a wheel chair and is only now recovered enough to drive ................. we can but hope ???????????

I had to laugh at Ursula reminding Rob he wasn't potty trained till he was three years old. I bet the SW enjoyed slipping that one in.

Tom in 1,The Green. Oh, dear. Rob might have had his eye on that rental. He hopes to buy but mortgage companies are very strict these days. Has no job yet. Maybe has massive deposit. ( no bowel jokes please)

The danger of Rob doing something really desperate towards the Archer clan is increasing by the day. The most dangerous time for a woman with a violent or controlling partner is when she has left the relationship.

Not clear if Emma has told people about Rob in The Bull. Does Helen + family know. It should put them on the alert.

Jazzer will surely have said something to Tom?

I'm glad Tom has put No1 The Green out of Rob's reach but not a good time for both him and Johnny to be living away from BF even though they'll be there during the day.

what is wrong with the Fairbrother Family? What happened in the past to make Granny so adament she did't want Toby at her party?Something to do with Elizabeth? I've either forgotten or I never knew!

merlotgran Wed 05-Oct-16 13:13:28

This should explain it, Hunt

Love Hard Cheese

A new job for Mel and Sue?

Does anyone else feel that although Jill did go OTT about Toby coming to party, that Pip is at fault for dishing out invite to him when she knows Jill can't stand him. David and Ruth acknowledged this but it is all sympathy for Pip none for Jill. Worried they are setting Jill up for illness/dementia storyline.

AyjayF Wed 05-Oct-16 14:09:40

Pip is pain in the arse. Jill was right.

vintage1950 Wed 05-Oct-16 14:31:28

I entirely agree that Jill had every right to be cross about Pip inviting Toby without Jill's knowledge or consent. Whether her dislike of Toby is reasonable or not, Jill should be able to invite or veto anybody she wishes. Whose party is it, anyway?

merlotgran Wed 05-Oct-16 14:48:30

It's about time Jill threw a strop. She waits on that family hand and foot and the very least spoiled brat Pip could have done would have beeen to explain to Tobeeeee that as their relationship has only just become public knowledge it might be better if she didn't invite him as she hadn't asked Jill.

Poor old Jill just wanted them to make a fuss of HER for a change but it all had to be about bloody Pip angry

Pip, Josh and Alice need a damn good slap!

They certainly do, phoenix.

Johnny is so sweet. He reminds me of DS when he moved out to share a flat with friends. I had to make three trips in the landrover to deliver all his stuff. He was so homesick (and broke) after three weeks I had to bring it all back again!!

Helen is in the playground after school? Hope there's lots of people about

merlotgran Wed 05-Oct-16 20:16:55

Rob's having his stoma reversal today but if Ursula gets wind that Helen's taking Henry and GiddyJack to the playground after school they'll probably hatch a plan.

phoenix Wed 05-Oct-16 21:07:42

I expect Knob will get wind after the operation, Merlot, and I hope it causes him great discomfort and embarrassment!

Thanks, Merlotgran.

AyjayF Thu 06-Oct-16 12:05:26

Bridge Farm is supporting an awful lot of people. How are they .managing it. ( Is Rob still on the payroll too?)

merlotgran Thu 06-Oct-16 19:13:05

Roy is cheese-blocked???

AyjayF Thu 06-Oct-16 19:17:29

That's what I thought she said too. Was it Chi??

merlotgran Thu 06-Oct-16 19:18:35

Kate actually said, 'You're chi's blocked' but it took a while for the penny to drop. grin

merlotgran Thu 06-Oct-16 19:39:25

What a good idea!
