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.

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?

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

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

Luckygirl Thu 11-Oct-18 20:40:23

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

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

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

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.

Nothing like this happens in our village!

Nannarose Wed 03-Oct-18 21:27:08

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

UsedtobeGinger Wed 03-Oct-18 20:31:09

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!

Ok thanks

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

mrshat Wed 03-Oct-18 14:11:03

My thoughts exactly phoenix grin

AyjayF Wed 03-Oct-18 12:03:15

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

LullyDully Wed 03-Oct-18 08:25:16

PS where is Kate these days?

LullyDully Wed 03-Oct-18 08:24:33

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.

phoenix Tue 02-Oct-18 22:34:31

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?

merlotgran Tue 02-Oct-18 22:28:29

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

Luckygirl Tue 02-Oct-18 21:57:05

Iddeed there does seem to be a bit of repetition going on - apart from the Flower and Produce Show of course - and the Christmas show - and the harvest etc.

As someone has pointed out we have already had the friends with benefits theme; and there seem to be an awful lot of folk in Ambridge who finish up in prison: Susan, Helen and now Freddie.

LullyDully Sun 30-Sept-18 21:01:08

Au but the panto is also so boring .

merlotgran Sun 30-Sept-18 20:38:01

I'm so glad the Flower and Produce show is finally over. Every year it's the most boring storyline and they drag it out for weeks.

I hope Kenton apologises to Harrison and Fallon.

merlotgran Sun 30-Sept-18 08:36:18

They're not that young though. According to the character profiles on TA website, Tom is 38 and Hannah probably younger but very worldly wise.

The casual sex - just for fun storyline has already been done with Pip and Toby so surely this won't result in another baby?

I find the whole thing cringeworthy but I bet they end up together and there's a power struggle between Helen and Horrible Hannah.

NfkDumpling Sun 30-Sept-18 08:28:14

They’re both putting their sexual wants above their friendship for Johnny. I think that makes them both tarts. I’m not disciminating!!

LullyDully Sun 30-Sept-18 08:19:55

Not a tart. I thought we were above blaming the woman for having sexual wants these days. She is however rather an unpleasant person in her treatment of Emma.

NfkDumpling Sat 29-Sept-18 06:02:57

I think you’re right Phoenix. There’s been a bit of publicity lately about the rise in numbers of young people with STDs.
