Can't find the old thread.

How silly the Matt storyline is - like the Rob storyline it is OTT. No-one is as villainous as Matt is being portrayed - they have just made him a stereotype of evil and it is ridiculous. I have never met anyone who encapsulates evil to this degree.

Stop it now you crazy scriptwriters and give as some storylines that reflect real life.

I bags the semi solid cow pat phoenix. If there's any left over from Brian, can I use it on Jenny Dahling?

I think the slapping queue for various characters is getting quite long, perhaps we should devise some sort of league table, and then hold a ballot, followed by a raffle?

Then of course there is the issue of what we slap with, a hand, a wet cod, a semi solid cowpat?

Decisions, decisions................

I'll slap Brian whilst you slap Will merlotgran, I've been waiting years for the chance.

merlotgran Thu 05-Apr-18 19:23:31

I will join the queue to slap Brian after I've given Will a good shake.

Well! The bloody cheek of the man! shock Accusing Jennifer darling of "betraying" him!

How many times has he betrayed her with other women! (No, don't bother to count, but it's quite a few)

If I were her I would be very angry and probably give him a damn good slap and put a lock on the fridge, the wine cellar and the drinks cabinet!

She could take over the café and Fallon could do more of her upcycling.

It does seem on the cards for Olwen to move in with Pat & perhaps they will become a couple and kick Tony out ?

"Neil is reading the news"? Eh? What have I missed?

Elrel Wed 04-Apr-18 22:52:41

Oops, obviously not concentrating this evening. Thanks for corrections!
JD doesn't stoop to bestow her game casserole on the homeless. Too busy trying to stuff poor Lexi with her insistent stream of a nutritious dishes. Treating her like a brood mare with no choices or knowledge of her own needs.

It was Pat. She is looking back at her Greenham Common days and wondering what she has achieved.

merlotgran Wed 04-Apr-18 22:11:21

Will Pat insist that Olwen moves into Bridge Farm?

That'll put the cat among the pigeons.

Patsy70 Wed 04-Apr-18 21:51:24

Jenny? I thought that was Pat!

Elrel Wed 04-Apr-18 20:50:34

Is Jenny Darling going to set up home with activist Olwen?
Can Roy cope with Ian and Adam watching every stage of the surrogacy with his beloved?! It's all very up close and personal and Roy's stolidly conventional at heart!

Why is Helen always being described as a successful business woman when she doesn't have a clue how to market her cheese making classes?

Does she really think no further than Borsetshire? hmm

And WHY does Henry still sound like a four year old? He's seven for heaven's sake.

Iam64 Wed 04-Apr-18 18:23:33

maryeliza, your scenario is scarily possible. People holding family secrets, especially when their relationships have been far from straight forward are at risk in the heat of emotion, of saying something they later regret.
Now that Neil is reading the news - who is the continuity announcer. The one a couple of nights ago was fantastic and said we needed more dum de dum de dumdedum and played it.

Jo did say something to Ed but it was Will that clarified it when they were together, on their own in the keepers cottage. I thought the Will side of the conversation sounded weird to be honest with Will seeming to think keeping Nic "safe" a natural thing to do. It's quite a burden for Ed to carry and I agree maryeliza - it will all end in tears and your scenario seems a very likely one.

Lazigirl Wed 04-Apr-18 18:02:23

Oh Thanks! I thought Joe had told Ed initially and wondered how Will knew.

maryeliza54 Wed 04-Apr-18 16:25:04

And it will all end in tears - Will will be having a go at Emma, Ed will defend her by saying well at least Em hasn’t knocked someone down and lied about it. Dum de dum de dum de dum

GracesGranMK2 Wed 04-Apr-18 15:25:19

No Will has told Ed.

Lazigirl Wed 04-Apr-18 14:52:46

I missed a few episodes and particularly the one where Joe told Ed what Nic said, so now am a bit behind. Has Ed told Will?

GracesGranMK2 Tue 03-Apr-18 23:51:12

Will did seem to be aware he may go to prison.

merlotgran Tue 03-Apr-18 20:46:48

Poor Ed. Thanks to Will unburdening himself he will now have to watch every word as well as worrying about whatever Joe might say. Will's going to be on his case all the time now.

Elrel Tue 03-Apr-18 12:47:13

Or maybe he and Ruari are running an online business empire ...

Elrel Tue 03-Apr-18 12:45:55

Or is he hiding in his room and writing his life story, could be a best seller!

eGJ Sun 01-Apr-18 13:46:56

Perhaps back to mother for his Easter Eggs?
