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 had forgotten that Iam. I think it's Kate isn't it? Heaven knows what is happening there as we see so little outside Europe and the US.

Yes GG3,it's Kate, don't know where Elizabeth came from.
A friend was speaking to her adult granddaughter in Cape Town yesterday. She says they're confined to their homes, not even allowed out to walk.

Does anyone else think that Linda will take her own life or is planning to,because she can't bear to carry on with her changed appearance etc ? The way she was talking last night seemed to hint at it ? I do hope not ?

GracesGranMK3 Tue 31-Mar-20 19:48:02

Or ... she could find out what's going on with Phillip and get her teeth into sorting it out.

I believe they will get coronavirus into the script in May.

Linda could reveal that Blake’s uncle is nothing of the sort! And Covd-19 is reducing it to merely four episodes.

Iam64 Tue 31-Mar-20 20:22:19

I don't think Linda will take her own life. She's traumatised but her underlying personality will remain. She's a problem solver and a positive thinker, plus Robert adores her so she's fair bit going for her. Plus, we need her to crack the Blake case, expose Philip and save Kirsty

Maybe when Roy stops dithering and visits Blake he'll report back to Lynda who will instantly suss that all is not as it seems.

Nothing gets past her.

Focusing on her Miss Marple role to get to the truth, she'll soon be sending for Harrison.

She will rally I am sure, it's in her fighting nature. This is reflected by her need to talk to only her chosen few. It will all come to a head at some point.

katie1 Wed 01-Apr-20 12:41:07

I do hope you are all right. Maybe the story line is highlighting that when people are saved from life threatening situations, the survivor like Linda with disfigurements and a shadow of her former self, feel they have lost their gravitas ?

I still wonder if its another actress, she just sounds a bit different to me. So if it is a replacement then they clearly intend to keep the Linda character going, to fight the next battle. She is certainly needed to sort out the latest drama and save Blake and the two other slave workers and of course poor Kirsty, who deserves better, much better.

eGJ Wed 01-Apr-20 17:07:29

It’s back to Carole Boyd according to next week’s Radio Times. ? let us hope Roy makes that visit to the hospital to see Blake!

And there's Debbie Aldridge in Hungary.

LullyDully Thu 02-Apr-20 08:29:09

She has moved to Belgravia I think.

Nana3 Thu 02-Apr-20 08:36:25

Debbie has moved to Belgravia? I missed that one.

MawB Thu 02-Apr-20 08:53:39

Tamsin Greig who plays Debbie Aldridge also plays one of the central characters in “Belgravia” on Sunday nights.

eGJ Thu 02-Apr-20 11:17:41

And she will be appearing on the National Theatre streaming live (and available for a week) on Thursday April 23 in Twelfth Night.

Alishka Thu 02-Apr-20 17:45:39

You'd think that Jenny Dahling would have been broadcasting the news of Debbie's move from Hungary to Belgravia,wouldn't you?
Almost makes me feel this is all made up!wink

merlotgran Thu 02-Apr-20 19:43:15

Did Kate gallop in to see Lynda on one of Shula's horses?

phoenix Mon 06-Apr-20 19:18:07

sad Ed & Emma!

angry Gavin!

LullyDully Mon 06-Apr-20 19:22:59

Let's hope Ed and Emma get it together some how.
Gavin is a rat.

merlotgran Mon 20-Apr-20 20:54:57

I wonder if Helen will see similarities between Philip's rushed explanations and Rob's blustering when he was asked awkward questions? hmm

Sparkling Wed 22-Apr-20 05:46:14

Let Philip and Gavin be outed soon. Just want those poor men discovered before Covud 19 arrives.

eGJ Wed 29-Apr-20 07:32:00

Agreed Sparkling. Poor Roy with the false phone text. Perhaps the “Happy ever after” for Kirsty will be Roy!

Maggiemaybe Wed 29-Apr-20 08:33:02

Any bets on Linda being the one to put together the jigsaw pieces of who was responsible for the GG explosion? My money's firmly on her!
