Archers Addict

You're right Nan Kate. Jill sounded very frail when David was telling her about Heather . All wobbly voiced and choked up with suppressed emotion.
I want the Charlie/Rob storyline back. Aren't they teases? I was hoping for a big showdown but Charlie sounded conciliatory. What a let down. Or is there still trouble brewing? Dah. Dah. Dah.

What happened with Rob and the hunt sab?

#anotherdroppedstoryline

Merlot I am guessing the "hunt saboters" line is another "sleeper" plot that might be popping back sometime.
Addicted is what we are like.

Part of the fun of The Archers is seeing how the script writers are managing their story lines. .

Rob appears to be losing it big time.

Poor Jill, in tears at Christine's. It's ridiculous to offer her a home and then throw her out. Bad Ruth and David .

It is beyond belief that Jill was not involved in the discussions about Heather, but just presented with a fait accompli. It seems out of character for Ruth, which is what makes this plot line so silly.

And are we now supposed to be feeling sorry for Kenton and his "poor me" attitude? Has he been the less favoured one throughout?
( I can't remember!)

Yes, poor Jill. And I agree, out of character for Ruth. But am pleased that the Rob storyline is beginning to hot up again. How he twists things. Is he self-delusional do you think?

Naughty about the "High hopes for new bird at Hollowtree"

Great link, Gracesgran. Thanks.

Kenton was always the Black sheep, and then the prodigal son, now he is just being a self pitying spoilt brat. Can you tell I don't like him! I sometimes wonder if Rob is ever going to get his comeuppance, he may not .

So many blind alley plot lines, especially around Rob.

The situation where Jill has been told to move out so that Heather can be moved in is just not credible, surely they would just move Bert back into his cottage, make another downstairs room into a bedroom or do some conversions to Rickyard (?) and find a B&B for the relief milker.

I suppose the out of character and literally incredible plots are just to be expected in the East Enderisation of TA and the reason why, after a lifetime of making a point of listening, I'm only catching up if the radio happens to be on.

Good point SloeGinny about the Enderisation. The Brookfield will they move or not was also nonsense and I'm disappointed the nonsense continues with the Heather/Jill issue. As if! David and Ruth are much more grounded and sensible than they're being portrayed in this story line (it's real everyone)

Having moaned about that I am enjoying the Rob story line, what a pantomime villain he is.

Is there to be a depressed Kenton, mental health intervention type story line or will Jolene just tell him to get a grip.

Does Toby have the makings of a second pantomime villain?

Yes he does - I wish Nigel hadn't fallen off the roof, he was a joy.

I have never listened to The Archers. Comments like this 'Yes he does - I wish Nigel hadn't fallen off the roof, he was a joy' make me realise I'm missing out big time #nigelshouldhavebeeninylife

Rob should have an affair with Hazel Wooley. They'd make a good couple.

They would probably end up killing one another suzied

Oh goodie!

wish hazel had fallen off the roof. perhaps she will fall off teh scaffolding of the new appartments.

Tegan- it's never too late to start listening to the Archers. The story lines (un link Enders and increasingly Corrie) happen in real time so you can soon step into Ambridge, so to speak. One of the great joys is you can take breaks and rejoin.

BlackeyedSusan - what a wicked thing to say but yes indeed, Hazel is a real pantomime villain, puts many of the others in the shade.

With any luck she will fall onto Rob too and take him out.

I await a reaction from the other Archer children when they find out Jill has been given the boot!

Yes. I can't wait to hear Kenton's opinion.

Watch out, Tom. Rob's after your inheritance.
