*The Archers thread

[weltweit]

Because he's a factory farming, two-timing know-it-all knob?

Oh, ok ... I think I missed a lot of that backstory. So he is running the industrial milking operation is he?

 

[Manter]

Because he's a cad. Married to Jess and fucking Helen (and he says he's told Jess about them, but its blatantly obvious he hasn't and Helen is going to end up all broken hearted again, and Helen broken hearted is just torture to listen to)

 

[wiskey]

Just listened to tonight.

frankly all I can say is (((rob))) ... you have no idea what you've let yourself in for! Take the boy and run, run for the hills!!!

Oh, ok, I have missed quite a bit then..

You reckon he wants the boy? Shades of irritating stage school brat if you ask me

I was just trying to save him from Hellin

Maybe it's too late for him already

That cry of 'mummy' this evening put my teeth on edge. Which is very unfair of me... 'Daddy has biscuits'. Ugh

 

[wiskey]

It's only been three weeks!!! I'm sorry but children deserve more credit imo.

 

[Manter]

But why do child actors always sound so 'actory'?

I keep thinking that they're setting her up for a suicide... but she'd never do that to Henry, would she. Would she?

I think the The Archers -kinder sound that way cos they're recorded saying the words completely separately from the other actor people, and then the other actor people read against the recording. So they're, like, random kids in the park being prompted to say the words on the script by BBC producers poking them with jam sandwiches.

dunno. probably the million adults standing round them being helpful.

 

[wiskey]

Helen's in a proper bubble, she completely believes he's told Jess ... at some point Jess will reappear and will hopefully have a few home truths for Helen.

But I don't think she'll off herself.

 

[TikkiB]

Because he's a cad

And a bounder, don't forget. The way he spoke to Jess when when she held her (tragically advised/stupidly manipulative) party was really horrible. Helen hasn't seen that side of him yet, but oh god, she is annoying; delusional, egotistically and so so humourless.

Are they recorded seperately? Never knew that...

 

[wiskey]

Bah, Pat rolled over a little easily

 

[Manter]

Rob sounded faintly threatening to me. And Helen has a funny definition of taking things slowly...

I hope he murders her then tops himself and Pat and Tony are so distressed they commit a double suicide and Shula is suspected of murdering them and she gets arrested and charged with murder and that makes Jill and Peggy have heart attacks and die and poor Shula goes down for life. Leaving the court after the trial John, David, Ruth and Pip are hit by a truck driven by a drunken Darrel and killed and Darrel runs away from the scene but is mowed down by a drunken Linda Snell who is charged with manslaughter but has a breakdown and tops herself but not before stabbing Robert and his winging daughter.

That leaves Will and Emmur with an awful lot of airtime

Accidentally trip up and land in the furness at the crematorium?

 

[wiskey]

Which would make it the matt and Lillian show... Excellent

 

[pennimania]

And the Bryan show

 

[Shirl]

See what I did there? saved the best ones

 

[TikkiB]

Rob keeps criticising Pat to Helen, and while I know Pat is unbearable, it's a bit off to be slagging off your lover's mother quite so soon in the relationship. Is this a classic abuser's ploy of separating the partner from the family, I wonder?

 

[wiskey]

Has jess gone back to her mum's?

Or is she under the patio... Or in the huge dairy unit being turned into dairylea

 

[RedDragon]

I predict that Hazel will be a more regular character in the future. Which would be good: we could do with bit of villainy in Ambridge.

To my ears it sounded like Clarissa Dickson Wright has landed herself a new job.

 

[Manter]

What did Will do to Holly that has so upset George? I missed a vital episode and they have never recapped, I am just listening to Grundy miserableness...

 

[danny la rouge]

He hatched an Evil and Premeditated PLAN to drown Holly, due to his hatred of dogs and desire to see them all die Cruel Deaths.

 

[Lazy Llama]

George is convinced that Ed (not Will) is trying to poison Holly, having seen Ed with poisoned bait for rats.

 

[wiskey]

I'm not sure there was a catalyst... There was an event where the dog fell in a pond, but I can't remember it was that bad... I mean I don't think ambridge dogs are water soluble!

I have to say though that it's refreshing emmur seems to be finally getting some storylines which don't revolve around her trying to fit in with Clarry, failing, and playing second fiddle to the ultra amazing Nic.
