I'm starting this new thread as apparently our other one was over a year old!! shock

We'll have to do more gossiping to prevent this happening again.

Here's a link to the old one.

PLEASE don’t say camilla was played by Patricia Hodge! She would never give such a heavy,obvious unsubtle performance.

Iam64 Tue 21-May-19 07:46:31

Merelina - Patricia Hodge is an actor, she was playing an obvious unsubtle character !

Merelina Tue 21-May-19 08:34:46

Of course, Iam64, camilla was a ghastly character. There was great scope for subtlety and innuendo to be played, and Patricia Hodge I’m sure would have found it. The perf. was plonky. You could almost hear the pages turning. No matter. It got Freddie into the stables.

So was it Patricia Hodge? I've been trying and failing to find out!

Merelina Tue 21-May-19 23:18:30

So have I. Am pretty sure it wasn’t

Cast list from Radio Times!

Thank you sal. Much as I like PH I hope it's a one-off appearance!

Camilla was presumably a tool to make a point for mental health week, as has been mentioned.
I don’t think Lilly would mind Russ pairing up with Elizabeth she appears to be going off him, and maybe the new humble Freddy would not object either but I think she deserves better.
Freddy will warm to Russ when they show the pictures in the loft in the art gallery and sell one or all of them for a price that will solve all their money problems.
I wonder if the writers read this thread for ideas, or conversely to change the plot if we quess it in advance and steal their thunder?

I think the Archers are real people - please don't tell me they are well known actors sad - I prefer to live in my own imaginative bubble.

LullyDully Thu 23-May-19 21:10:34

I agree Lazigirl After all these years I know them so well, I don't even like to see their photos.

I have my own mental images as I am sure we all do.

Saint Leonard is beginning to get on my nerves. He's only just got to know the Archer family but whenever there's a problem he's there with his words of wisdom.

Kenton was right to tell him the fall out with David was none of his business.

Sara65 Thu 23-May-19 22:36:44

Leonard and Jill get on my nerves to be honest

Tom is wetter than an otters pocket, Nocasha is a credit card junkie, and a manipulative bitch!

LullyDully Fri 24-May-19 19:22:48

She is not to be trusted!!! Her and her new car.

phoenix Fri 24-May-19 19:25:46

Was it new? How do we know?

Agree though Lully definite not to be trusted!

phoenix Fri 24-May-19 19:26:23

Definitely, damn tablet!

Nanoo15 Fri 24-May-19 19:28:07

Watch out Tom - new wheels AND a honeymoon in Cuba!

grumppa Fri 24-May-19 20:18:24

Is Nocasha bipolar?

phoenix Fri 24-May-19 20:31:46

She's definitely something, grumppa, and not nice!

AyjayF Fri 24-May-19 20:43:36

Odd behaviour here with Natasha. Not to be trusted. She has Tom just where she wants him. He won't dare to contradict her in case she leaves again.
Great character though. There are enough boring ones.

Avor2 Fri 24-May-19 20:52:21

I am reading this with my eyes shut, not listening to this until Sunday, although I did hear David throw another wobbly today with Kenton. Jill sounded just like my Mum when she told me off - lovely !!!!!!

grumppa Sat 25-May-19 08:38:14

Mind you, if I married an Archer and moved to Ambridge I'd probably go mad.

The outcome of Tony's intervention is intriguing. Has Nocasha discovered a hitherto buried penchant for older men?

Sara65 Sat 25-May-19 08:53:53

Now that would be a storyline Grumppa, Tony and Nocasha!
Seriously though, this will all end in tears!
Toms!
