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.

I’ve missed a couple this week, but just had to say how much I HATE Hannah!

Does anyone else think that during Jim's ghost story readings Nigel will appear?? Didn't he go into the attic to get onto the roof, which he fell off? Setting Elizabeth's well- being back ?

Don't worry, Sara65 Justin has her card marked.

She really is a piece of work!

AllotmentLil Wed 11-Dec-19 22:26:28

I hope you’re right merlotgran! What a piece of work!

Tony having a common sense failure. What a daft man.He

I have missed a lot of the Archers for a while.
I don't quite know why I used to follow it avidly.

Resurrection here - for phoenix smile

I love the way Susan is saying she thinks Neil has changed since doing this job - she was the one always trying to change him!!

merlotgran Wed 08-Jan-20 21:48:04

I think Neil and Rex will join forces. Berrow will eventually be forced to close down due to bad husbandry just as it did when it was a mega dairy in the Rob Titchener/Charlie whatsisname days.

Scribbles Wed 08-Jan-20 21:57:33

The same thoughts were crossing my mind, Merlot.

Sara65 Wed 08-Jan-20 22:06:51

I hope so, I just love Neil.

Neil and Rex and the intelligent little pigs, happy days!

Luckygirl Wed 08-Jan-20 22:26:19

Ditto - same thought here.

Thank you all for getting this thread going again!

Charlie Thomas. Just thought I would say.

That's a good idea, let the dreadful Hannah do her worst.

merlotgran Thu 09-Jan-20 09:08:26

Oh yes, Charlie Thomas. He started off in Ambridge as a dislikeable character but once he started having suspicions about Rob we were all sorry when he was written out.

Good scriptwriting in those days.

LullyDully Fri 10-Jan-20 19:45:59

Good news about Kirsty. She deserves some luck . Let's hope they don't plan a wedding in Bali.

Patsy70 Sat 11-Jan-20 17:36:23

I do listen, but as you say, Merlot, the scriptwriting isn't so good these days. Where is the drama?

glammagran Sun 12-Jan-20 10:38:22

Now that Helen and Lee have properly got together as a couple I am starting to fear for his future. I suspect Rob will make a covert reappearance and Lee’s days are numbered.

vegansrock Sun 12-Jan-20 11:10:47

Will Kirsty’s wedding clash with the son’s extravagant plans?

Luckygirl Sun 12-Jan-20 11:15:16

The Bee at Ambridge - for goodness sake! The scriptwriters really are desperate now.

phoenix Mon 13-Jan-20 19:20:11

Well! shock

If I was Kirsty, rather than asking Alistair to not say a word to anyone, I'd be asking him to tell Philip everything he heard!

Sara65 Mon 13-Jan-20 19:22:32

Me too Phoenix, isn’t he a nasty piece of work!

Iam64 Mon 13-Jan-20 19:43:45

merlotgran, what's your thoughts on whether Kirsty will marry Phllip? I'm not convinced she and Tom are totally over each other.

Yes Neil with join Rex in rearing happy pigs who they prepare as well as they can for slaughter. Hannah deserves to end up in that culvert where we all expected the Polish worker who was on to Rob, to finally appear (as a body , killed by Rob)

grannysyb Mon 13-Jan-20 19:48:00

Tonight, Alistair spotted that Kirsty had been scratched by a kitten. Are the scriptwriters setting her up to have cat scratch fever?

merlotgran Mon 13-Jan-20 20:04:09

I do hope their wedding goes ahead, Iam. It would be unfair of the scriptwriters to heap more heartbreak on Kirsty. Maybe it'll be ghastly Gav's relationship that will flounder.

Phoenix, I too think Kirsty should allow Alistair to tell Philip what a first rate prick his son is.

Where is the Tom/Natasha storyline going?

Iam64 Mon 13-Jan-20 20:14:28

Who knows about Tom/Natasha? It seemed doomed from the start didn't it.

In my script merlot, Kirsty realises Philip doesn't quite fit her image of a life partner or husband. I'd love her to meet someone, anyone, who she fell head over heels in love with, some one who made her feel like she's the only woman in the world. Maybe its the way the sw's are playing around, changing characters personalities at a whim but he's never felt quite right for Kirsty.
I'm with Phoenix and others - yes Alistair should talk to Philip about what a horror his son is.
