Is anyone still listening or have you given up?

Delila Fri 06-Oct-23 19:53:45

Yes, and perhaps she could look deeper into Rob’s terminal diagnosis.
This can’t all be in aid of seeing Jack before he dies - I think he’s planning something longer-term.

Hopefully Usha won’t dither and will tell Harrison that Rob has threatened her.

Delila Fri 06-Oct-23 19:29:39

Ah…..communication between Alan & Usha on the subject of Rob. Better late than never.

Delila Mon 02-Oct-23 21:25:37

I don’t know - must have missed that. But I did think that the whole consultant setup, with the insistence that Helen should be present etc. even when she protested the legal situation between them, was very odd.

merlotgran Mon 02-Oct-23 21:15:07

Didn’t Helen and Lee check out the consultant on the hospital’s website?

Delila Mon 02-Oct-23 21:02:20

Usha knows the truth about Helen and Rob’s relationship, so when Rob implied things were better between them Alan will have known he was lying.

Is there any way Rob could be lying about the seriousness of his condition? He always sounds as though he’s play-acting, and Alan obviously had doubts about it.

Wow! Alan. Top marks!

Get thee down to Bridge Farm PDQ and warn Helen.

Great list 👏👏😂

Jazzy & Tracy going with Brad! And Rob hasn’t changed has he?

I don’t believe in Chelsea organising a reading of an old book. Maybe they are trying to show her as a different character to the hair n make up girl, but how many teenagers would want to be reading a book with a bunch of oldies?

eGJ Mon 02-Oct-23 06:16:49

Yes, merlot forgotten new name ! Usha will know the terms of the restraining order and will have to report it.

merlotgran Sun 01-Oct-23 23:21:42

Why was Alan worried about Usha walking in on them? It’s not his fault Rob turned up out of the blue.

If I hear the words lark Rise to Candleford once more I might throw up!

Alan Franks is the vicar eGJ, easy to misname as he’s been in the Ambridge cupboard with his wife Usha and other silent characters for some time.

Oh yes. He sounds just like Richard Lock who used to be the Ambridge GP.

It’s another Ambridge ethical dilemma for Alan. I hope he passes it to the Bishop. Rob T has moved to Penny Hassett and is trying to bully Alan. Leopard - spots

merlotgran Sun 01-Oct-23 20:25:53

Richard??

eGJ Sun 01-Oct-23 19:25:15

Well Richard has a problem hasn’t he? No doubt Usha will be looking at the legal aspects, but living in Penny Hassett may well be a little too close for comfort.

Yes Merlot, yes!

merlotgran Fri 29-Sept-23 20:43:32

Thank goodness for that. I’m all Lark Rised out!

eGJ Fri 29-Sept-23 20:40:50

Rob’s back next week to spoil the Lark Rise induced bucolic atmosphere!

Patsy70 Wed 20-Sept-23 21:06:02

Started to tune in again after a long time and enjoying it. Although, there are certain characters who are less that tolerable!

In case anyone’s wondering why there are so many references to Lark Rise to Candleford….They’re flogging their own show! 😂😂

NotSpaghetti Mon 18-Sept-23 23:10:20

Now Fallon knows the café is doomed will she finally apply for/take on the one at the charging station?
This is driving me mad...
So bloomin obvious!
Get on with it!!

eGJ Mon 04-Sept-23 21:00:26

You always hit the Archer nail on the head merlot and sort things out for the scriptwriters!😄

merlotgran Mon 04-Sept-23 20:05:46

Kirsty can then move in permanently with Helen freeing up a bedroom at Roy’s (where’s he gone?) for Hannah.

Sorted! 😂
