The Archers

I would like to hear what Kate has to say about Freddie's sentence.

So, who want's a little side bet that Ellis will end up in the same Young Offenders Institution as Freddie, and will bully him?

And as for Lizzie thinking that having a word with the Governor will have any impact...............He's hardly likely to put Freddie in his own room with a goose down duvet and Egyptian cotton sheets, is he?

Two hundred miles North of Ambridge must be in Scotland as Ambridge is Worcestershire. That's a long way to go. I am surprised Freddie didn't to go an adult jail as he is well over 18 years old. It would certainly be contrived if Ellis goes there too.

PS where is Kate these days?

Yes. I was wondering that too. How young is a 'young offender'?

My thoughts exactly phoenix

A young offender is between the ages of 18 and 21.

Ok thanks

If Freddie hadn't gone down methinks there would have been a major outcry.
But what is Lily up to?
I suspect the old bloke will go back to wifey?
Hate nasty Hannah!

And Tom Forest, he was arrested for murder, but it turned out to be an accident.

Nothing like this happens in our village!

At some point Lily's boyfriend's glowing testimonial for Freddie may come up at Ellis's trial. As deputy principal he surely was committing perjury.

Will Hilda be the next in the dock for GBH to Christine?

Feel they should just throw away the key to Freddie's cell.- after locking it of course.

No doubt someone will soon point out to Elizabeth that an appeal can result in an increase in sentence.

Actually, Lucky, I kind of hope they don't and that she finds out the hard way ... in court!

oh UsedtobeGinger you just reduced me to a heap with your idea. Thank you and

Poor misguided Elizabeth. I have looked at barristerblogger.com re Freddie’s sentence & it is quite informative & amusing. He thinks no grounds for Appeal, but he makes some inteeesting points. TA need better researchers obviously. What is happening to Lily & lover boy? I have missed some episodes?

Still bewildered as to how any appeal could take place without Freddie's permission. He is 18 years of age. Not even sure if it allowed to show his file around without his permission.
In the one-dimensional world of the Archers scriptwriters they obviously only deal with one person at the time, so Lily has been totally put on hold at present.

Never heard a peep out of Geraldine before. Now you can't shut her up!!

I don't like the sound of Bert jumping out of the bushes on spookylicious night.

It'll all end in tears.

Everyone will know it's him, no matter how well disguised he might be, because he always starts any sort of speaking with "whirr" or perhaps it's "werr" ?

BTW, is there a queue for people wanting to slap Elizabeth? If she says "I've let him down" just ONCE more, I will not be held responsible for my actions!

Is Hannah after Tom or Bridge Farm?

Tom doesn't 'alf pick 'em. Natasha and Hannah are both ghastly.

I wish Tom could find a proper girlfriend/partner/fiancee/wife. I think he's late 30's now and that's getting on to find a life partner imo. I try, in my own pollyanna way, to avoid disliking characters on the Archers - it isn't real I tell myself. I didn't like Rob titchner and I don't like Hannah. She's dreadful. I can't work out if she's a scheming, manipulative baggage or just a useless individual.

Phoenix, please don't slap Elizabeth. I sympathise, her constant insistence on poor Freddie and the need to Appeal and get him home are driving me doolally as well. However, slapping his mother won't help. We must be patient. I fear that Elizabeth, Lily and Freddie are all about to face reality in a Big Way and they won't like it.
Why doesn't someone, anyone, give Helen a helping hand in behaving herself and reading up on the impact on small boys of witnessing domestic violence, coercive abuse, having their favourite comfort toy thrown in the bin, being rejected by daddy and seeing daddy lying almost dead on the floor after mummy stabbed him: OH yes, and mummy disappearing for several months, leaving him living with daddy then reappearing with no explanation at just the same time as daddy dumps him.

What's going on with the Lexi story? Has she been brought back just to disappear again or is Roy off to live in Bulgaria?
Good luck Adam + Iain trying to get any baby back if it's born outside the U.K.
