The Archers

Ruari's surname is Donovan? What!!??

And while I'm here - pyjama parties for Kate and Lilian?? They seem to have been transported to an Enid Blyton book!

Aargh! they're

Can Nigel come out of the shower now?
Is it me or does Mia have a very different accent from not only her family but everyone in TA? To me it sounds very rural but more West Country than West Midlands.
Also wondering whether Elizabeth should be drinking so much coffee in view of her heart condition. Lily and Russ sound like as if their heading for breakup - good!

What the heck ? Lily needs to get rid of Russ as soon as possible. He is a freeloader. Wish she'd sort herself out. There must be a local university she could go to.

I also think the way they're dealing with Elizabeth's depression is well done and very sensitive.

Does anyone else wonder why Lee doesn't know Helen's back story?

What's the betting Lily drops out of uni to take over the running of LL?

Elizabeth's life laid out in the raw was sad listening. The scriptwriters should never have killed off Nigel.

Excellent episode last night. Elizabeth's therapy session hit just the right note. It was emotional + quite gripping

" I have never met anyone who encapsulates evil to this degree."

In that case, you chose just the right name!

Very moving tonight listening to Elizabeth talking to a counsellor

Suddenly we have a speaking Mia who looks out for Poppy and doesn't want to go to Drayton Manor. Emma was really pushing over the trip.
Is Mia going to be having problems via the websites or people she contacting on her phone? How old is she now?

My thoughts exactly merlot!

Leonard calling Jill, 'My darling????'

Bump.

I think this thread is playing up again.

Just what is Natasha after?

Helen needs to get her head out of the sand (again). Henry and Jack's inheritance could be at stake.

I agree about Lee, Elrel. It was all over the national papers and sadly it's not unusual for a village or town to be known for a notorious crime that was committed there.

Good to hear Joe offering sage advice to both Alistair and Brian.
Had Adam and Ian not realised that there could be gossip ahead when/if they become parents? It looks as if they hadn't considered how their putative child might experience school. And I'm surprised Lee apparently doesn't know about Helen and Rob, Susan can't be gossiping hard enough!

About time Jenny!

I've just caught up with Friday's episode. How come Adam can make a major decision like no longer growing strawberries without consulting any other family members? I thought Brian had set up the farm as a family company

Is Ruth still acting for Ruairi?

I thought it was amazing how quickly the sale of Home Farm went through. It doesn’t often happen like that in real life.

I'm looking forward to 'meeting' the new owners of Home Farm. What can they be up to?

Vicar Alan is back! Where has he been when we've needed him? ?

Thought the name of Gill was connected with the purchasers. New Characters perhaps.

Ohh Nooo merlot, that's more than I could take!

Ooh merlot I hadn't thought of that one!
