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.

Oh, Goody! Stephan may be in the rubbish tip that's poisoned the Am.

I did enjoy Kate's dreadful whinging about how hard done by she was the other day. I really enjoy Kate. She is such a good character and you can more or less predict what she will say or do next.
As you can with real people you know in real life. Brilliant script writing most of the time.

Ooh I missed that bit about Stefan, I thought he was in the culvert too. Is Brian going to go bankrupt do you think, or just to prison!

NfkDumpling Fri 19-Jan-18 20:12:19

So, the pollution in the Am isn’t the remains of Stefan?

Lazigirl Fri 19-Jan-18 19:21:29

So Kate has had a personality transplant hmm

IIRC Stefan was blackmailing Rob, Lilian overheard him and told Justin who realised he'd made a mistake in employing Rob (about time) and paid off Stefan to get rid of him so he could then deal with Rob.

Elrel Thu 18-Jan-18 20:51:07

Wasn't it Rob who put Stefan out of the picture?

merlotgran Wed 17-Jan-18 23:19:49

Didn't Justin pay off Stefan and send him back to wherever he came from?

I hope Kenton's advice hits home and Toby decides to step up where the baby is concerned. David and Jill will be royally pissed off.....Good!

BTW How on earth could Toby have just buggered off, as David has suggested, when he has a business to grow and what about Kenton's investment?

Kenton is now my favourite character grin

Ayjay - When there was something nasty in the water I thought it might be Matt, or Rob, or even a depressed teenager. What DID become of Stefan? I think we should be told!
So Silliun is back, Justin is letting his good guy mask slip again, Jenny has decided to woman up and Kenton is advising Toby. It looks as if Pip will have trouble from her baby's DF for the foreseeable future. Did Jenny Darling ever hear from Adam's red headed DF? I can't remember.

Maybe it’s Tom dumping the unsold kefir.

AyjayF Wed 17-Jan-18 07:40:03

Is it the remains of Stefan?

starbird Wed 17-Jan-18 00:44:54

Who’se been doing what at Brookfield to pollute the river Am?

AyjayF Fri 12-Jan-18 22:01:22

I was waiting for David to deck Toby this evening. I wish he had!

LOl me too.If i don't catch series in the week listen to the omnibus on Sundays

Lazigirl Fri 12-Jan-18 09:51:34

When TA is boring, as at present, I vow to give it up, but after a few days I'm back again, sad addict that I am. LoL.

travelsafar Fri 12-Jan-18 08:09:05

Blimey has the Archers fallen out of favour again. I must admit it is a bit boring at the moment, and it doesnt bother me if i miss an episode now and again, not like when Rob was the evil villian!!

Hurry up and bring back Lillian and Justin at least they are more interesting than all the baby talk at the mo.

Phoenix You may have hit the nail on the head there.

phoenix Mon 01-Jan-18 22:14:58

Yes, nellie not a single intelligible sound, perhaps if he DOES actually say words, they have to increase what they pay him, possibly organic yogurt or whatever.

Either that or they have been force feeding the little chap on Uncle Tom's kafir, and the mere taste of it has rendered him speechless.

merlotgran Mon 01-Jan-18 21:54:37

No they haven't. Any more than they've noticed that Henry, who is 7 tomorrow, still sounds like a four year old.

Nelliemoser Mon 01-Jan-18 21:51:20

I a really worried about Jack Titcheners development.
he was born in May 2016 so he is now about 18 mnths.
I heard him over Christmas gurgling and squealing like a small baby.
He should be at least vocalising in a much more mature way than he is. Have any of the Archers noticed?

EthelJ Fri 29-Dec-17 16:39:59

Can someone remind me what the situation is with the Dower House? It was in Trust for Lilian , then Matt sold it to Justin, does that mean that Lilian got the proceeds from the sale? I'm just trying to work out if she will be left with nothing if her non married relationship with Justin doesn't work out.

eGJ Thu 28-Dec-17 17:24:11

Linda and Scarlett; whatever next? And is Lexi about to offer to be a surrogate? Plot losing going on with scriptwriters I think!?

midgey Wed 27-Dec-17 16:45:33

I thought Peggy as taking a long time bringing the gravy from the kitchen.....I thought she was going to break a hip on the greasy floor!

chelseababy Wed 27-Dec-17 15:07:02

Yes Elrel I said to OH - all we need now is Rob to knock on the door ....

Elrel Tue 26-Dec-17 23:24:52

Chelsea - when Tony said he’d babysit the boys so Tom and Johnny could go to the pub I felt a chill down my spine! I dreaded Rob turning up!
But no - phew!!
