Is anyone still listening or have you given up?

I wondered if she was pregnant, too.

Galaxy Tue 08-Apr-25 06:41:01

Was that a reaction to the slaughter house or is she pregnant.

NotSpaghetti Tue 08-Apr-25 06:35:02

Something is odd.
Not sure what, yet.

Anyone else think Rochelle has an ulterior motive at the abattoir? If she pro humane killing or even against meat production at al?

NotSpaghetti Sun 30-Mar-25 19:51:06

I expect the Maliks will join in with festivals.
Why not.

eGJ Sun 30-Mar-25 19:17:47

Why are we having to suffer Joy and Rochelle again? And are the Malik family going to join in any Lent, Holy Week and Easter events? If they like fires, how about Easter Eve with Linda and Ashram?

I agree Scribbles but don't see that in the script tbh!

Kate54 Fri 28-Mar-25 11:21:46

Harsh!

Scribbles Fri 28-Mar-25 10:06:59

I'd be happy if both women took stock of their lives and decided to retire, leaving horrible Helen floundering about trying to recruit a new assistant.

NotSpaghetti Thu 27-Mar-25 09:36:23

Kate - presumably when the scriptwriters have had enough dragging out this nonsense!

It's very very annoying.

Kate54 Thu 27-Mar-25 09:27:53

When, please God, is someone going to suggest a job share for Susan and Clarrie?!

eGJ Sat 01-Mar-25 13:52:50

Me too merlotgran Natasha’s spending habits have raised their ugly head before! Can’t see the house buying being sorted anytime soon and feel sorry for Kirsty as it stymies her plans. Can’t get my head around Linda and fasting, but interesting to hear about Khahil. How will Akram react on his return home?

merlotgran Thu 27-Feb-25 18:04:54

I’m hoping the Gills are up to no good and their money comes from dodgy dealings. Will we ever hear them speak?

I don’t like Natasha at all. There are occasional flashes of kindness but she is mainly self serving and unreasonable. I ought to feel sorry for the Bridge Farm Archers, especially Pat and Tony but I’m team Fallon and The Bull.

NotSpaghetti Thu 27-Feb-25 16:50:37

Yes.
No doubt they have been watching Lilian in the bushes from their holiday resort!
grin

Scribbles Thu 27-Feb-25 15:16:25

I've never liked the Natasha character and I like her even less following last night's epi.
Also, I'm wondering why the Gills are so obsessive about privacy. Maybe one of them is a socially disgraced former public figure trying to live down their notorious past? Or maybe it's just a script writer's device to make a story out of nothing?

Delila Thu 13-Feb-25 20:03:24

Looking forward to hearing how scriptwriters/Linda deal with this.

eGJ Thu 13-Feb-25 19:21:00

Well that episode goes way beyond the racism when Usha appeared in the village. I hadn't taken to Lawrence before, but today's words are too much.

eGJ Thu 13-Feb-25 13:21:41

thank you both will hear last night's in half an hour! Sounds rather over-dramatic!

NotSpaghetti Wed 12-Feb-25 18:48:46

Why didn't they immediately get commercial cleaners in?

What business (especially food) would brush sewage about themselves I wonder?

Kate54 Wed 12-Feb-25 18:36:49

Completely out of the blue major sewage leak threatening to ruin homes and livelihoods. One minute it’s the panto and now this! Feels like a dig at Borsetshire Water (I.e. Severn Trent?)

eGJ Wed 12-Feb-25 18:12:52

I missed Monday, so last night made no sense even after reading the catch up! Can one of you explain it to me😗 please?

Delila Tue 04-Feb-25 13:11:59

A last minute pop-up pantomime - what a thrilling, nail-biting week!

NotSpaghetti Tue 04-Feb-25 13:07:08

Maybe they have several new scriptwriters who are each focusing on their own "baby" and ignoring the arc of Archers life?

merlotgran Tue 04-Feb-25 09:14:53

It will take more than a few silly storylines to make me stop listening but my enthusiasm is seriously waning at the moment.

The SWs seem to be all over the place. The idea of Fallon and Harrison going abroad on holiday at short notice was daft when the only reason she was given a job at the Bull was so she could fill in for her father who had gone on a cruise. 🤔🤔

eGJ Tue 04-Feb-25 09:03:38

To echo Farzanah is anyone still listening or have you all given up. I for one am tiring fast!
