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.

No mention of coronavirus on the Archers as far as I know. Perhaps they think we have all heard too much about it.

MawB Sun 22-Mar-20 12:41:25

I think I am going to move to Ambridge as it would appear to be a CV-free zone.

Greeneyedgirl Sun 22-Mar-20 17:45:33

Too late MawB. We're full up in Ambridge. Some of us moved in days ago.

We're staying in The Bull grin

Oh greeneyed that’s you over there; as I’m am staying two metres away from you I wasn’t sure?

Greeneyedgirl Sun 22-Mar-20 19:34:01

You can snuggle up close eGJ there's no virus here.
I'm off for a massage soon with Kate.

merlotgran Sun 22-Mar-20 19:38:39

I wouldn't have had Philip Moss down as a wrong un. He's far too boring.

Glad there's a meaty storyline at last as it's been far too boring of late.

merlotgran Sun 22-Mar-20 19:39:22

Sorry about two borings. grin

Well, can't book in to Grey Gables, or Ambridge Hall!

Anyone with a sleeping bag prepared to snuggle up with Salieri and Constanza?

merlotgran Sun 22-Mar-20 20:13:40

Not if Philip Moss is repairing the shed. shock

MawB Sun 22-Mar-20 20:39:03

There’s always a “baddie” in The Archers and they take it in turns -we’ve had Brian, Rob, (mind goes blank!) and now apparently Philip?

eGJ Sun 22-Mar-20 20:44:09

Perhaps this is all to make way for Roy and Kirsty to get together. Kirsty has been rather unlucky so far in her choices!

Luckygirl Sun 22-Mar-20 22:32:12

Are we to assume that Philip is a baddie, or is he just protecting Gavin?

Sparkling Mon 23-Mar-20 07:29:10

Philip is not a good man, whether he is protecting Gavin or not.
Wonder how they will introduce the Covid Virus, they must be a few weeks behind when recording.

eGJ Mon 23-Mar-20 07:36:27

They are reducing the output to five a week, using already recorded episodes. Coronavirus May never reach Borsetshire.

LullyDully Mon 23-Mar-20 07:59:27

If he isn't a baddie then he is very foolish. The truth will out. Poor Kirsty and just when a happy ending was in sight.

eGJ Mon 23-Mar-20 19:15:36

He is getting nastier and nastier. Kirsty needs a happy ending?

LullyDully Mon 23-Mar-20 19:21:31

Well that was clear. He sounds like a gang master who exploits vulnerable people. What a shocker.

Shrub Mon 23-Mar-20 19:22:30

I had to turn tonight’s episode off. I can’t handle any more nastiness. Poor Kirsty, she deserves a happy outcome for once.

Greeneyedgirl Mon 23-Mar-20 19:33:50

Oh no! I liked him too. Why must the script writers do this, it doesn't seem in character at all sad

merlotgran Mon 23-Mar-20 19:37:05

His change in character has been far to rapid to be believed. Rob Titchener's was far more subtle and therefore more sinister. Philip sounds like a pantomime nasty.

MawB Mon 23-Mar-20 19:43:34

This is a weakness in their attempt to be exciting. They fail to develop characters over a period of time so lose their motivation and any depth of character.
Oh dear.

GracesGranMK3 Mon 23-Mar-20 21:03:06

No episode on Friday's. Well done that they are finding a way to keep going though.

shysal Tue 24-Mar-20 07:08:41

I would have thought that being a radio show they would be able to record the parts individually from the actors' homes. Seems not.
I always felt that Kirstie was not really in love with Philip. I hope she leaves him before boing even more hurt.

LullyDully Tue 24-Mar-20 08:05:06

Feeling sentimental. Do you think Emma and Ed could get back together?

Iam64 Tue 24-Mar-20 08:10:35

Emma and Ed should be together and yes, LullyDully, I believe they will reconcile. They love their children, are close to each others extended families and are currently getting on well. Let's not have every couple in the village separated.

I could never see Kirsty and Phillip as a couple. He's never been right for her and these boring types sometimes do successfully hide the sinister side of their personalities. Phew, what a baddy. Kirsty and Roy 4eva
