Archers Addicts.

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?

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!

Tom may very well have a long wait!

Jazzer in a tea shop? Maybe not.

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

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!

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.

...or the roof, GracesGran!

Oh yes

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.

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

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

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

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

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

No, Nfk all quiet on the Aldridge front currently.

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

Culag agree - Leonard mentioned some paintings stored up there.

I’m worried about Mia

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

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

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

Neither is Emmer
