Anyone heard tonight’s episode? If not and you are a long time listener I advise you to listen on catch-up. No spoilers

eGJ Sun 12-Mar-23 21:34:27

The vehicle charging station came out of the left field as well!

NotSpaghetti Sun 12-Mar-23 22:16:26

Or is it going into the left field 🤔?

Debbie’s back from Hungary next week! In person too😀

eGJ Sun 19-Mar-23 19:19:11

Well what a turn up! Not only Debbie, but Justin being behind the Charging Stations and using his Village Shop to spy"………dreadful doings!

Farzanah Sun 19-Mar-23 19:47:48

It’s about time Debbie bit the dust imo.

Elrel Tue 21-Mar-23 23:04:03

Has Debbie lost the plot? She was horrible to Brian and Joy. He’d behaved himself after Siobhan as far as I remember.

eGJ Wed 22-Mar-23 19:37:44

She’s only here for a week, so only two days to retract!

To be fair, if I walked in on my step father pinning my recently deceased mother’s brooch on a woman I’d never met I’m not sure how I’d react.

Shocked wouldn’t come close.

There was SO much build-up with the scarf/brooch/new furniture nonsense that it was obviously going to happen.

It feels as though the episodes recently have been written by school-leavers.

Farzanah Thu 23-Mar-23 11:11:56

It’s going the way of M&S. Trying to appeal to the yoof who don’t shop/listen anyway!

eGJ Thu 23-Mar-23 19:16:22

Sillier and sillier…..ugh

Luckygirl3 Thu 23-Mar-23 19:37:05

There is a hint of desperation in the recent script-writing, as in what the heck can we write about this week!?

Foxygloves Fri 07-Apr-23 19:28:26

Not sure if there is another thread, but OMG did anybody hear tonight’s episode and Harrison’s news?
Things could get VERY interesting!

eGJ Fri 07-Apr-23 20:58:52

He isn’t listed in the Radio Times in next week’s cast 😀

NotSpaghetti Fri 07-Apr-23 21:21:07

I thought he would show up and then Helen and "what's his name (?)" would take the boys and move to California

Farzanah Fri 07-Apr-23 21:31:21

I wondered when he would make an appearance.

So fed up with TA now. Silly plot lines. ie Jennifer’s Will.

merlotgran Sat 08-Apr-23 08:48:50

The ghost of room 13. Didn’t see that coming! 😂

Visgir1 Sat 08-Apr-23 09:01:13

I was surprised.. But twigged when Harrison wanted just to speak to Helen OMG.. That's going to be interesting, agree needs to move on from Jenny Darling.
BTW, I saw a play at Chichester Theatre last year, I was racking my brains one of the actors had a voice that was very familiar.. It was Rob Titchener.

He isn’t listed in the Radio Times in next week’s cast 😀

I don't expect him to appear for ages. It'll be a means to keep the tension going and there'll be ongoing scenes with Helen angsting whenever she hears a strange noise or one of the children is late home. It will help fill in the gaps when the script-writers run out of daft plotlines about cookery lessons, B&B sit-ins, etc.

eGJ Sat 08-Apr-23 09:48:08

🤣 Scribbles

Farzanah Sat 08-Apr-23 10:20:27

Yes Scribbles that’s exactly how a major plot line has played out in the past, sometimes over years, to keep interest going through the mundane.
However with new younger script writers, with impatience of youth 😀 it may not happen this time. Just have to watch this space!

merlotgran Sat 08-Apr-23 10:38:01

With Harrison on the case Rob’s reign of terror could run and run.

Chelsea will suss before he does.

Delila Sat 08-Apr-23 11:09:53

Something happening at last, thank goodness, but yes, there will be a very long build up.

DaisyAnne Sat 08-Apr-23 11:52:06

Why do those who don't like The Archers stop listening? There must be something else you could do for those 13 minutes.

So glad the writers are showing the long-term effects of a case like Helen and Rob's.
