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 don't think Nocasha will be off the scene for long, it's part of her strategy to control Tom. Jazza is my favourite character, I love him. I agree GG, characterisation of Freddie is spot on, a typical young man with a sense of entitlement.

He's a character Sara65, and he is being used to play out some of the issues in society. Would you have them all completely bland?

Sara65 Tue 30-Apr-19 14:15:10

Well I’m aware of that Gracie! But doesn’t mean I have to like his character, or like the way Elizabeth constantly excuses his behaviour

I think Natasha thinks Tom will inherit the farm, and she will be rich ( by selling off land?) , so she just has to get him where she wants him first - panting at her heels. Babies won’t come into it - if she can hang on long enough she thinks she will get a good settlement!

Sara65 Tue 30-Apr-19 14:32:25

Tom may very well have a long wait!

Jazzer in a tea shop? Maybe not.

Oh dear, feeling of deja vu on this thread,............

GracesGranMK3 Tue 30-Apr-19 20:17:34

So have I phoenix. Shame isn't it.

Susan! This thing about Christyfurr and "management"!

It's the village cricket team, for heavens sake, not exactly being on the board of ICI!

GracesGranMK3 Thu 02-May-19 20:29:44

I think Susan is very authentic. I know mothers who will talk up their child at every opportunity and she does it so well, never missing an opportunity.

The Archers had always had a nicely nuanced balance of serious and comic. Tonight's episode carried the Pargiter's further along the road to repairing their lives but I still can't guess what they will do with Russ. I suppose there's always the attic. smile

...or the roof, GracesGran!

GracesGranMK3 Thu 02-May-19 23:53:06

Oh yes grin

LullyDully Fri 03-May-19 08:08:06

What a good idea. Why doesn't he pay for the rent arrears?

If the writers have any sense Freddy could become a lovable retro Nigel. We need some humour, especially now Joe has gone.

Culag Fri 03-May-19 08:45:14

I think Freddy and co are going to find something valuable up in the attic and save everyone.

AyjayF Fri 03-May-19 17:04:22

That bailiff could be pretty busy in Ambridge.
Lily. Natasha. Kenton. They're just the obvious ones. ?

phoenix Fri 03-May-19 17:42:28

I'm finding it very hard to think of Freddy as a loveable anything!

Might help if he stopped whining................

NfkDumpling Fri 03-May-19 18:34:07

What’s happened to Jennifer and Brian? Have I missed something?

phoenix Fri 03-May-19 18:43:54

No, Nfk all quiet on the Aldridge front currently.

Might be something to do with the "7 characters per episode" rule! grin

maryeliza54 Fri 03-May-19 18:52:06

Culag agree - Leonard mentioned some paintings stored up there.

Sara65 Fri 03-May-19 19:15:11

I’m worried about Mia

LullyDully Fri 03-May-19 19:32:01

Poor little girl. Will is pretty hopeless, always was.

LullyDully Fri 03-May-19 19:33:38

Is it just me? I thought Fallen sounded different tonight.

mcem Fri 03-May-19 20:34:19

Poor child. Mee-er is not a pretty name!

Sara65 Fri 03-May-19 20:36:16

Neither is Emmer
