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.

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

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

Definitely, damn tablet!

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

Was it new? How do we know?

Agree though Lully definite not to be trusted!

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

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

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

Leonard and Jill get on my nerves to be honest

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.

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.

Lazigirl Thu 23-May-19 17:01:30

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.

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?

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

shysal Wed 22-May-19 12:40:51

Cast list from Radio Times!

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

So have I. Am pretty sure it wasn’t

mcem Tue 21-May-19 20:47:04

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

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.

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

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

Merelina Mon 20-May-19 23:08:50

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

Love that Bossyrossy

shysal Mon 20-May-19 09:05:11

Bossyrossy grin

Bring back Nigel and here is how: Elizabeth takes up genealogy as a hobby and finds that Nigel was a twin, separated at birth. She takes a DNA test and links up with his missing identical sibling. They meet up and low and behold, he looks and sounds just like Nigel. They fall in love and marry and the mistake of killing off a much loved character is rectified.

Bossyrossy Mon 20-May-19 08:34:33

That’s what I think, Crystaltipps, Russ and Elizabeth will become an item leading to a very bitter and explosive storyline.

LullyDully Mon 20-May-19 08:14:23

I also thought that Camilla forgot that her mother was an ex dancer rather than an aristocrat.

showergelfresh Sun 19-May-19 23:31:12

I think they had Camilla on tonight just so they could show an example of the ‘pull yourself together’ brigade as opposed to the ‘understanding’ of mental health Elizabeth is promoting in her role.

showergelfresh Sun 19-May-19 23:28:52

Oh yes mawbeoomsback!
Nocasha - I do get it now!

Can’t wait to see what happens there...

AyjayF Sun 19-May-19 21:45:15

Patricia Hodge?! Oh, my. In " what I call The Archers" as Miranda's mother would have said!
