When Amber's parents come back into the story (next week?) will they offer to support Amber and the baby but only if she leaves George?

Ruth has concern about a neighbour. Assume Esme. Too early to suspect an affair with David, so prob thinks Esme is mad wanting to be a farmer.
The stakes (steaks?) are high for Susan as George comes for dinner. I’m out 2nite so will find out later what foot-in-mouth the talk includes.

I think that the decision of Keir Starmer's allies to block Andy Burnham from standing as a MP will backfire. It will be seen (correctly imo) as undemocratic.

However it is done, I can’t believe that Amber will stay with George. Perhaps leave Ambridge (with or without having the baby) and then re-enter story in a couple of years after Brad is involved with someone else for a further complication.

I feel that the SWs have a story in the pipeline for Chelsea:
1. Building up what a great person she is,
2. Also how undervalued she is,
3. Ambiguity about what she was doing on NYE.
Hope it is a positive storyline.

So, if it is a boy, will then call him William (Bill) after both Amber’s dad and George’s dad?
Or will it be Nick, after what brought them together?

An Ambridge resident gets life-changing info 2nite. Poss Amber tells George about pregnancy, and he cracks open a bottle of wine or:
1. Doc tells Lilian to give up booze, or
2. Fallon learns about CCTV backups,
3. Jazzer told that the toss-the-caber is cancelled due to Health & Safety.

Poss opening for Andy Burnham to return to the Commons. I would welcome him back but…
1. It is still all speculation,
2. Labour NEC could exclude him from shortlist,
3. Members or voters could react against it.

Multiple and consistent reports that Alfons Sampsted is leaving Blues.
Never really worked out for him at Blues and prob not at the level we want going forward. Never faulted his attitude and effort though.
Hope he gets more game time where he is going (Go Ahead Eagles?).

When I listened to #TheArchers back in the 80s, Pat & Tony were the radical couple - going organic when it still wasn’t common irl. Pat in particular was quite radical.
Now they’ve been allowed to become quite ‘meh’.
Bring them back to life please!
