Archers Addicts.

There's still time Merlot

Yes. Tracey is the best character at the moment. I love her relationship with Lynda.

I like Tracey

I think the scriptwriters are having a competition to see who can write the most boring storyline.

Jill and Leonard, Russ and Lizzie, re-wilding, Grundy's world of Christmas...…

I was really hoping Rob would turn up in Underwoods.

If the script writers put Elizabeth and Russ together, that's it for me. I'll have to take a sabbatical. I've been a daily or omnibus fan for years but recent months I've been irritated or bored in equal measure.
I wonder if I'm too old to enjoy the story lines being written by and possibly for, a younger audience.

Or Linda come to that. I have been moaning about the annual panto but what of interest has replaced it? At least there will be a few of Jim's ghost tales.

Archers does seem pretty aimless at present. I even thought they had replaced Clarry, but I may be wrong.

PS surely there won't be room for all those Grundies in the house on the green. I thought it was just a two bedroom cottage.

Didn’t he begger off to Scotland or somewhere?

I’ve missed a few episodes, where have Tom and Whatshername gone?

Where is Rob? I can’t remember

I hope it's not the lovely Rob eGJ. I thought they were priming us for his return by scaring us when Henry went AWOL whilst out shopping.....

I had hopes that at last Helen would settled down with Leigh, but he isn’t in next week’s cast! However there’s a “shock for Helen” on Friday 6th
,

Phoebe's father is Roy Tucker. Her mother is Kate, Brian and Jennifer's daughter.

I've just looked at the character list on the Archers website. The Tuckers used to have a section of their own but now there's only Roy left so he's been moved to 'other characters' and Phoebe is back with the Aldridge clan.

I agree about Peggy. Jill, Peggy, Ruth, Pip don’t like any of them. Give me the Grundys any day

Is Phoebe really an Aldridge?
I thought her surname was Tucker ?

I don't mind Jill, it's smug controlling Peggy I can't stand. I guess when we've reached ultra boredom threshold they will pop Elizabeth + Russ into bed, perhaps discovered by Lilly, and let's not forget Ed and the chemicals still on the back burner.
BTW in case you think I'm gate crashing this post I'm not new, just reinvented!

Jill is one of my least favourite characters , I couldn’t care less who she marries.

Elizabeth is getting a bit too close to Russ and do we care about Jill anymore? Can’t warm to Joy yet either!

It's all very boring at the moment.

I agree about the Queen episode Nannarose but I disagree about Alf LullyDully, nobody can replace Joe, it's like trying to replace Walter Gabriel.

I think the whole hangover cure storyline was to place Joe at a pub called The Queen, so Joe's (and Edward Kelsey's) wish could be fulfilled.
To my mind, the complete nonsense of it (how did Joe get to The Queen without his family giving him a lift?) felt like a final, fun tribute.
I have realised that over the years (and I am old enough to remember Grace) the only storylines that have made me cry are Grundy ones.

I had hoped that Alf was staying as he was becoming a good replacement for Joe.

Have they abandoned the hangover cure?

What a silly storyline that was.

I hope we've seen the last of Alf. If he's the Scriptwriters idea of a substitute for Joe, it ain't working

Run, Lily, run!!

What an anti climax to the Lilly and Russ affair. I was hoping for a grand revelation when she met the wife.......not just that she was another student lover. You'd think that Lilly would have checked her out before she became so embroiled, but his appeal is definitely waning at last.

Lily seemed to have gone off Russ before she moved to help Elizabeth, I don’t think she cares much about him.
