Is anyone still listening or have you given up?

Has Adil done a bunk?

eGJ Wed 18-Oct-23 16:54:00

Adil’s in next week’s cast list. As is Azra Malik. Is that his locum doctor sister? Episode on a Friday says it’s the end of an era for one resident, so who knows?!

Delila Wed 18-Oct-23 18:29:01

Maybe merlotgran has a hunch?

Delila Wed 18-Oct-23 19:14:50

Has Robert Snell officially died yet??

eGJ Wed 18-Oct-23 19:16:17

Not in Ambridge
And merlot was right "…….no spoilers
.

NotSpaghetti Wed 18-Oct-23 20:26:25

I think Robert will (sadly) die on the night of the ball - IF that is resurrected...

NotSpaghetti Wed 18-Oct-23 20:26:52

I think the Pip/Linda conversation was setting something up.

Delila Wed 18-Oct-23 23:03:30

Yes NotSpaghetti, Robert hasn’t been mentioned for a long time, until tonight.

eGJ Thu 19-Oct-23 16:28:36

Perhaps setting it up for Robert’s demise next Friday?

merlotgran Thu 19-Oct-23 19:23:08

Well that was more than you bargained for, Helen.

Nice one, Lee!

Delila Thu 19-Oct-23 20:59:50

At last!

NotSpaghetti Fri 20-Oct-23 09:14:32

I wanted the vicar to suggest she was less harsh on her "vandal" son.

WHY isn't anyone (after all this time) suggesting counselling?

eGJ Fri 20-Oct-23 18:08:22

Perhaps they might tonight?

eGJ Fri 20-Oct-23 19:17:43

Well, that came out of the left field!

However, good for Lee…….perhaps at least that relationship will work out, but list to GN……get some counselling

merlotgran Fri 20-Oct-23 23:12:55

Poor Henry. He hero worshipped Rob because he was far too young to understand what was really going on and despite not having any professional help that we know of following stabgate and the fallout, he has grown into a lovely lad. He is clearly fond of Lee who he now regards as a father figure.

Helen is tiring of Lee because if his immature streak. If they split up the victim will be Henry…again and does he know anything about how he was conceived?

He’s my favourite character at the moment and I fear he’s in for a rough ride.

NotSpaghetti Sat 21-Oct-23 00:25:32

merlotgran,
I think Helen is tiring of Lee because he is looking for solutions and he wants to be included in things.

CoolCoco Sat 21-Oct-23 07:02:34

Helen has had a lot of trauma, I’m not sure why she hasn’t had counselling, she has become really annoying. I feel sorry for Lee, and Henry if they split up.

NotSpaghetti Sat 21-Oct-23 15:45:38

Exactly tjis CoolCoco
In real life most people would suggest counselling... and not just "couples therapy".

NotSpaghetti Sun 22-Oct-23 10:57:13

And how did such a young boy buy spray-paint anyway?

eGJ Sun 22-Oct-23 19:20:04

It could be Peggy who is the long time Ambridge resident who departs on Friday as next Sunday “Brian has some difficult news to deliver”
merlot is on the money as usual regarding the Lee-Helen relationship!

merlotgran Sun 22-Oct-23 19:37:51

What’s the betting Ian, Adam et al now fuss round Helen because they’re ‘so worried about her’ which is just what she wants. Nobody will tell her to get a grip and stop being a self absorbed diva!

Lee is immature but did he really deserve that?

Iam64 Mon 23-Oct-23 08:18:02

Merlotgran, Henry is showing he’s a resilient boy. That is likely to increase as he grows up. What a relief.

I didn’t hear last night’s episode but it seems Helen behaved badly, again. I don’t believe being told she’s a self absorbed diva who needs to get a grip will nudge her into being a calm., reasonable and confident woman. I dislike the current obsession from many, with ‘my mental health ‘ being blamed for all kinds of nonsense. In Helen’s case though, she’s showing sign of post traumatic stress disorder. She was a vulnerable personality before her brother died, her lover killed hinself and she got herself involved with a narcissistic abuser. I know - tedious cry but - she needs therapy

Delila Mon 23-Oct-23 10:34:23

She does, but she’s hard to love, isn’t she?

Iam64 Mon 23-Oct-23 11:39:03

People who can’t control their feelings and emotions are very difficult to bd with

eGJ Tue 24-Oct-23 12:11:35

Well Helen’s life is going to be even more unbearable next week, when according to the Radio Times Rob’s family descend on the area for the baptism and three Ticheners are in the cast…….strangely no Helen though.
