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.
That's been my thought for a couple of weeks starbird. She could share parental responsibility which would probably mean she could bring her family from Bulgaria to join her. Plus, she could make some cash out of the arrangement. Win Win for Lexi.
I have felt the hints about this too. I didn't realise that it could help her bring her family over. That would make the character think about it I'm sure. What do you suppose Roy's reaction would be?
Luckygirl I think con men like Matt Crawford do behave very much as depicted in TA and women do fall for them. He's all about Matt Crawford and ignore anyone he tramples on in the meantime.
Merlot - yes!! Noluthando certainly told Freddie some home truths!! Surely Justin isn't going to take Silliun back - I can't see that as a romantic 'happy ever after' Christmas storyline! Or do the deceitful pair deserve each other? If the bells ring out for the over-the-top nuptials I may throw up!
Lazigirl yes they got back together and Toby stayed over at Elizabeth's a few times, then they decided that what they really wanted was to just be friends, so the visits stopped.
The incidence of instant pregnancy during a one off one night stand between former couples in the Archers must be down to the amount of cake the characters eat. Having Pip pregnant by Toby is lazy scriptwriting. I'm fed up! Bring back Nelson Gabriel and Nigel
I agree Iam they tend to fit characters into storylines which do not fit with their personalities. I do not think what we know of Pip that she would become pregnant by accident - she's not naive in that respect.
Exactly Lazigirl - Pip may be a bit daft where Toby is concerned but she wouldn't be daft enough to have unprotected sex with him. I was hoping to see a young woman growing in confidence and developing wider friendships, even falling in love with Alfie but this seems like scriptwriters who just want to cause distress to every inhabitant of Ambridge!
What a load of miserable self centred whingers in Ambridge tonight. Will Ian ever be satisfied even if Adam does become the sperm donor?
Emma is turning into a nasty piece of work and it's about time Shula started counting her blessings especially if she really did run over Matt and is getting away with it.
