I'd like the number of times that Natasha rubs it in to Helen that she's part of a couple to equal the number of times Helen says "but as a mother" to Kirsty. #TheArchers

I would love to hear the conversation where Natasha ousts Helen from the en suite using those exact words - 'because we are a couple'!
As for the cooking, please, let the mac 'n cheese and pop tart boxes pile up in the formerly 'pristine' kitchen. #TheArchers
Of course Natasha and Tom will have the en suite because they are a couple.

Do you think Helen will really stay, to be bossed around by Nat in her own kitchen?
December 21, 2024 at 8:19 PM
Good thought! I have faith in Natasha making it unpleasant enough for Helen to leave. Combination of messy habits and being Helen's Gracious Host oughtta do it.
"Don't feel bad about not paying rent, Helen, I know you'd do the same for us if we were that ... um ... needy." (As if). #TheArchers
Nah, Natasha wants to get in pronto. I guess, that’s her concession to secure Tom’s agreement to even buying it. #TheArchers

Trying to get my head around this!

Who IS related to Clive?
Bert: father
Susan, Tracy, Keith, Gary & Stewart: siblings
Kylie: daughter
Chris & Emma: niece & nephew
Keira, George, Brad, Chelsea: great nieces & nephews

I think Keith has a wife&children. The Horrobin blood runs strong!
#TheArchers
Yes, you're right. When I said they were blood relatives, I was thinking of Johnny & Kylie. I think I'd better get off to bed... 🙄 #TheArchers

I remember that well! For once, Tony put his foot down and said Helen was driving Pat back into a recurrence of her depression. #TheArchers
It was absolutely on brand for Helen though. It reminded me of the complete meltdown she had when her parents told her & Tom that John had a son. #TheArchers

Well predicted! #TheArchers
If sausage boy is worried about making his sister “homeless” then suggest she rents Kathy’s cottage when they buy the Beechwood house
#TheArchers

I was thinking the same!
They could have got a family set. Tom is Thomas of course and HellQueen is well known as the Thin Controller. And there's even a Henry.

But which one is Pat?

#TheArchers
So, Henry just ordered a Fat Controller with a paint job for Tony?

I feel a bit deprived that Ruth didn't get her fair share of being given the runaround by Leonard and being bossed around by Jill. I'd have enjoyed that. #TheArchers
December 11, 2024 at 9:41 PM
Yes, not to mention before that, the arrogance of demanding the whole family, children, dairy herd, Herefords, possibly sheep 'n all, move to the north east. David did finally say 'no' to that insane plan. I blame the editor of the time! #TheArchers
I was rather outraged at the arrogance of Ruth that her mother should take precedence and then how meekly Jill agreed to it? David never seemed to put up a real fight. 😳🤨 #TheArchers

Jill having Leonard at Brookfield could be sweet revenge for when she got booted out to make room for Ruth's 'me Mum'. #TheArchers

Alice drank heavily in early pregnancy and didn't stop until she entered detox on November 25 at 19 weeks.
Odd that Chris has never mentioned his fear of problems ahead for Martha, not even to Susan or Neil. Afraid to, perhaps. #TheArchers
The few times Alice had expressed remorse or concern the SW have implied because she was only drinking early on and stopped that accounts for her remarkable escape from FAS in fact drinking in first 12 weeks most likely to cause damage vvv irresponsible messaging #TheArchers
December 8, 2024 at 10:43 PM
Odd neither Kirsty nor Alan commented on Gavin's cough. Kirsty took him home and Alan invited him into his car. Hope they all wore masks. #TheArchers
December 8, 2024 at 7:31 PM
Sounds right. Midwife said Alice was 12 weeks pregnant on October 6. #TheArchers
Six to eight weeks before she was found collapsed by Moss' son, I'd think #thearchers
December 8, 2024 at 7:27 PM
Absolutely. George till fairly recently, when Emma clocked to the misogyny, was able to hide his nasty nature from everyone except Neil. I remember Neil confessing to - was it Brian? -that he just didn't like him. #TheArchers.
Agreed, but they’re outnumbered by the others and George’s manipulative ways. #TheArchers

I think what happened this week is that they didn't know anything about scams, how they happen or how to avoid them, so they decided to do a scaled down version of "Come From Away". #TheArchers
November 29, 2024 at 8:21 PM
It is a bit worrying when she is nice to someone. I have the same worry about Helen. #TheArchers
I’m concerned about Ruth’s mood swings.

Steroids?

#TheArchers
November 29, 2024 at 8:16 PM
Good point. Ruth turned amazingly nice to Ellie. Turns out it was only because she wanted to pry into Ellie's personal business. Wish the dialogue had been:
Ruth: Tell me to mind me own business.
Ellie: Mind yer own business."
#TheArchers
You’re undoubtedly right. That said, continuity in characters is not too much to ask for!
#TheArchers
November 29, 2024 at 8:07 PM
Oh no! Please spare us Ruth & 'Me Mum'. Jolene & Sid was pretty harrowing too, and I don't mean the shower scene. #TheArchers
It’s National Grief Awareness week next week.

Don’t tell #TheArchers
November 28, 2024 at 7:44 PM
Yes, you're right. I think Faith doesn't understand the class thing that operated then. Dan and Doris were simply a hard-working farmer and his wife, more salt of the earth than royalty!
#TheArchers
Faith was talking about the previous generation, before Brian arrived in Ambridge. It would have been Dan and Doris running Brookfield. IIRC, what is now Home Farm belonged to Ralf Bellamy, who subsequently married Lilian or it may still have been part of the Lawson-Hope estate.

Never before mentioned because it's only recently arrived.

It's the Ambridge Ambulatory Bedroom, thinly disguised. Not been seen since it escaped from Blossom Hill Cottage after being pressed into service as Ursula's bedroom. #TheArchers
I said we didn't need to worry folks. Fallon & Harrison have a convenient, never before mentioned, brick shed at the bottom of their garden. #TheArchers

I think Tom cost them a hundred thou! #thearchers
Didn't they get less cash for the land anyway, due to Tom's superb negotiating skills? 🙄 #TheArchers
