Will David Archer be the victim?

[zisforzebra]

After tonight's episode I think that David Archer might me the christmas murder victim.

The guy he was talking to about the stolen hay sounded very threatening and sinister. I think he'll come back to Brookfield, David will confront him and be killed. You heard it hear first folks.

My problem is that there would have to be an Emmerdale-style mass slaughter, or maybe a Brookside plague, to kill all the people who drive me mad.
What would simultaneously take out (in order of annoyingness) Helen, Cathy, Lizzie'n'Nigel, Shula, Pip, Jim, Bert Fry, Pat, Matt, JennyDarling, Peggy, Sooooosan and Willyum? It's a conundrum......

Swine flu?

TA wouldn't be any fun if it didn't have such annoying characters. I only tune in to have therapeutic daily fume at HELLen.

I think that after Harry was reluctant to sing carols, he may be a suicide bomber that will blow up the Bull during the Christmas lunchtime session. Die infidels, sorry that the lessons can't be finished Peggy, and the whole place goes up. Ends with Joline saying I'm coming Sid.

Harry is a bit too nice isn't he? There must be more to him ... some dark secret. Could he be another Owen?

Perhaps Hellin will fall for him and he will marry her and everthing will turn out well and she will become normal.

This thing about Freddie and Lily is a bit of a duff storyline, isn't it.

Maybe Freddie and Lily will crack under the strain and set fire to Lower Loxley at their birthday party, wiping out half the Archer clan at one fell swoop...

P.S. Evenkeel, I can't believe you find Pat more annoying than Jennifer!

Oh that's a good one. Could they invite Susan Carter along first though, because she really does need to go.

Ooooh, there's another thought. The dreaded Christmas Eve drinks'n'nibbles: the Aldridges trapped in a room with the horrible Horrobins. It can't possibly end well.

The Freddie and Lily story is probably the fault of MN - all the state/private and 11+/entrance exam woes threads, clearly its a topic they've got to cover sometime and unevenly-gifted twins from a rich family are perfect for it.

Helen will go mad and murder Tony,or maybe Tony will finally lose the plot and get rid of moaning Kathy

The special double length anniversary episode can't be on 2nd Jan. I'm away

Oh if someone's going to cop it, pleeeeease let it be Tom.

There should be sausages involved. Dh favours pigs pinning him down in the mud and choke him to death on a meat-related product (he suggested pork balls).

I think getting his tie caught in the sausage machine and being sliced, diced and turned into bangers would be a just retribution for his whiny annoying presence in the show up till now.

Tolalola, at the moment Pat is massively irritating, what with enabling Hellin in her preposterous behaviour! (and as for last night's hateful outburst at her poor father - words fail me). But agreed, JennyDarling is also appalling. Let's just say that the rankings in my hate-list do vary according to events.

I realise I forgot to put Kate in there, too, who's also been unspeakably horrible with the Phoebe business!

Something happening to Kate - especially if she's buggered off back to Africa - wouldn't SATIC though, so she's safe.

did they get to the bottom of the prank-paste in the bucket that got Eddi fired from the panto?

I thought it was odd that Hellin was buying a sterilizer. I thought she'd be the sort who refused to believe that BF-ing could possibly go wrong. Maybe the sterilizer is faulty and it'll blow up the village?

Or maybe it wasn't a sterilizer at all - she was very cagey about it.

I hope Pip's not for the chop - I do like her. And her mum.

EdgarAleNPie it was Nathan Booth, getting back at Eddie for telling him the wrong winner in the Village Hall racing pools.

evenkeel, I know what you're saying about Pat, really . I think I'm so incensed by everything that Hellin says that I forget there are others egging her on. Haven't heard last night's episode yet...

I wondered that for a moment but then remembered she'll doubtless pump when working.

Do we think she's been reading that book? The one by the woman we're not allowed to talk for fear of being sued?

It would suit her controlling style to a tee.

Wouldn't have thought she'd need it...I bet she could out-control SWMNBN with her hands tied behind her back.

Tolalola, won't reveal all, but I hope you'll be as appalled as I was by the vile self-centredness of Hellin and Pat's continuing determination to kowtow to her....

No, Hellin will be a continuum mother. She will sacrifice herself on the altar of the martyr mummy, sleeping with the child until it is eight and breastfeeding it until it leaves home at 18.

Did anybody see Misfits last night? Can they arrange for LactoBoy to be let loose on Bridge Farm Dairy: that should put paid to Pat, Tony, Hellin, Tom, Susan, Viqquiii and a visiting Kathy (but not Clarrie) all in one go. Result!
