Is anyone still listening or have you given up?

Spin off

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

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!!

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! 😂

Lee has a new job on coronation street - well, the actor does. Is he going to stay in California,

eGJ Mon 04-Sept-23 18:35:48

Natasha often doesn’t demonstrate joined up thinking😗

NotSpaghetti Mon 04-Sept-23 17:20:55

And why did Tom's wife take away her dinner after the Pat conversation earlier?
🙄

eGJ Mon 04-Sept-23 13:21:17

Perhaps we aren’t shouting loud enough. It’s heartbreaking but realistic and we all hope she gets proper help soon - perhaps when Lee returns.

Iam64 Mon 04-Sept-23 07:54:38

Poor appetite and over exercising also go hand in hand with prolonged chronic stress
I wish Helen could hear the listeners shouting - get therapy helen

NotSpaghetti Mon 04-Sept-23 07:40:23

I think so merlotgran.

So is Helen heading for anorexia again?

Iam64 Sat 26-Aug-23 14:56:28

I don’t get the impression Pip is celebrate, more that she hasn’t found anyone she fancies. Like busses, two always arrive at once

I missed a few episodes and didn't realise that Pip and Toby had rekindled their relationship. I thought Pip was celibate.
I was getting very fed up with the girlfriend always being there though, I think she is too prickly by far and hard work.

eGJ Sat 26-Aug-23 07:14:19

merlot you usually get it right. We’ll have to wait on that one!
However, would RT devote a page to her new relationship in the circumstances?

merlotgran Fri 25-Aug-23 21:36:42

Pip’s struggle with her sexuality will be even more complicated when she realises she’s pregnant and Toby couldn’t be more delighted. 🤔

Wyllow3 Fri 25-Aug-23 20:31:38

No, you're right, I don't think anyone could.

Its clearly "last chance saloon at the farm"

What matters - is he capable of change or as Helen described, someone 'beyond" the pale for life.

That's a big ask, given how manipulative he has been. Has he got remorse inside?

merlotgran Fri 25-Aug-23 20:07:33

I think she’ll regret it. George isn’t going to change overnight.

Wyllow3 Fri 25-Aug-23 19:46:21

In the end.....after tonights TA, I thought Helen did the right thing.

Just about!

DaisyAnneReturns Thu 24-Aug-23 14:04:54

I was so pleased she didn't give way. It will help her.

But George still can't see what he's done can he? I wonder if this will open Oliver's eyes - if he gets to hear about it.

Wyllow3 Thu 24-Aug-23 12:07:08

Very true.

Hope Emma isn't naive enough to think it should have "worked".

Iam64 Thu 24-Aug-23 11:28:43

It would also mirror her behaviour with Rob when they were married. Appeasingbullies never works

merlotgran Thu 24-Aug-23 11:27:01

I think it would also have undermined Tom who was in his rights to sack George who I doubt had any sort of contract.

Iam64 Thu 24-Aug-23 09:56:38

No she couldn’t ‘make nice’. It wouldn’t help her mental health to deny her feelings

Wyllow3 Thu 24-Aug-23 09:14:20

Possibly, thats what I don't want to happen! But could she really "make nice" in that situation...

Franbern Thu 24-Aug-23 08:56:00

Or will he now turn his nastiness against Helen??? Two sackings in as many months not going to look good on his CV
