Well I am an addict and proud of it! Love it all even the boring bits and now love Ambridge Extra.......I believe I am not alone either????

Jane (?) Harvey was referred to the other day. Has she ever spoken?

I'm looking forward to the episode when only the silent characters take part. A very quiet voice would just announce who they were...then we could invent our own story lines to fit the silences. Sound effects, animal and human noises, such as panting and moaning, would be permitted.

The Listener (deceased, unfortunately) used to have a very funny cartoon strip about the silent Archers. Ken Ton was silent then and in Hong Kong so they pretended he was Chinese.

Great ideas appearing on the Archers FB page as to what might happen to Helen while out hunting but no one has yet suggested that Jess might cut the girth or something similar. I am not at all sure about Jess, just even less sure about Rob.

Someone also asked what had happened to Cathy (Perks). What did happen to Cathy, she hasn't been in a story for ages?

Cathy Perks? I heard that she underwent a transgender procedure, is now known as Sidney and happily installed as a Beefeater at the Tower of London.

Here's another soap related non-speaking character question for you:

Which character in Coronation Street is mentioned but never seen or heard?

mollie65 Tue 23-Sept-14 12:32:55

Andy MacDonald - Steve's twin? was seen a few years ago but not since

Anne58 Tue 23-Sept-14 12:37:26

Nope!

mollie65 Tue 23-Sept-14 12:37:38

in the Archers - Sabrina Thwaite and whats his name -

Anne58 Tue 23-Sept-14 12:37:55

(I must add I don't actually watch Coronation Street)

mollie65 Tue 23-Sept-14 12:38:56

- Nathan Booth grin

mollie65 Tue 23-Sept-14 12:54:01

final answer - Mary's mother

Anne58 Tue 23-Sept-14 13:09:38

mollie Nathan Booth is in the Archers, not Coronation Street!

Anne58 Tue 23-Sept-14 14:15:58

Anyone else wondering if PC Burns is going to start stalking Fallon?

mollie65 Tue 23-Sept-14 15:02:58

phoenix - I know that - it was the follow on from the previous post (what's his name)
and I thought you did not watch Coronation street.smile
my final answers are still Mary's mother or fat Freda

Iam64 Tue 23-Sept-14 18:25:50

Phoenix, I do hope not. I must have missed an episode or two when I was away, if hints in that direction are being given. There was me, hoping for romancegrin

Anne58 Tue 23-Sept-14 19:27:36

Won't put a spoiler in Iam wink

Mollie I used to watch it many, many years ago with my gran, that and Crossroads seemed to be compulsory viewing!

I'll put you out of your misery.

The character sometimes mentioned in Coronation Street is...............

Willy!

or to give him his full title....

Willy Eckerslike !

(^ phoenix legs it out of the room to avoid flying objects^)

Anne58 Tue 23-Sept-14 19:28:01

Bugger! Got my italics wrong!

mollie65 Tue 23-Sept-14 19:30:35

accompanied by Flaming Nora grin - good question for a pub quiz and my answers were correct - anyone ever seen or heard seen Mary's mother (the tyrant) or Fat Freda who sometimes operates the switch at Streetcars.

Nice one Phoenix! Would have to include Willy's sister Izzy. Plus their dogs Duzzy, Wozzy and Diddy.

Gracesgran Wed 24-Sept-14 08:42:25

As a true Archers addict I love the idea that there is a thread on here for those of us mad enough to have stuck with it for all these years but shouldn't there be a thread for Corrie followers too. It seems only fair that they have their own smile

chloe1984 Wed 24-Sept-14 08:58:36

I am getting a bit concerned that I am starting to warm to Rob!

shysal Wed 24-Sept-14 09:42:20

What? Has he fooled you too, Chloe?

NfkDumpling Wed 24-Sept-14 09:46:34

Chloe could be right - it could be the twist in the tale - Rob may be really a nice misunderstood guy all along!

chloe1984 Wed 24-Sept-14 10:45:12

I don't feel that I could trust him completely yet........I think he may show his true colours if Henry proves to have more than a sniffle I hope he does as I really want to loathe and despise him.
