Why is Lillian allowing this to happen?

[PseudoBadger]

FFS Lil, he's just a bit on the side. If he pisses you off just bin him. Don't start sounding so downtrodden.

[RocknRollNerd]

There's definitely going to be some kind of big showdown which will end up with Lilian realising Matt is far and away the better brother. Have a horrible feeling it will also involve whiney Darrell-ex-machina as well - I wish he'd bugger off with his whingey kids and leave Rosa to get her life back on track.

[ppeatfruit]

I listen in the p.m. but just the way Matt finally cottoned on yesterday p.m. was brilliant with his golf clubs!! I even felt sorry for Darryl.

[TheOriginalSteamingNit]

Has anyone else noticed that the more Paul is characterized as a bad egg, the more estuary his accent gets?

[PareyMortas]

Shag - Ed (not Eddie!) Grundy - lovely
Marry - Ifty - good with kids
Avoid - Jazza

Can anyone fill me in on what Paul has told Lillian is going on with Anita Dobson, I think I missed a couple of episodes. I caught the one this week were they spoke on the phone and he'd gone awol.

It's getting good now Matt's twigged. Not quite as good as the Brine & Siobhan, but much better than SATC.

[ppeatfruit]

well parey Paul has basically told complete lies;blaming Celia (Anita Dobson) for threatening the kids with the withdrawal of contact with the grandkids and cutting off their inheritance if they don't go to her wedding which is what HE said. ASFAIK

[LondonMother]

Yes, and no matter how loudly I shout into the radio Lilian seems not to hear when I point out what a liar Paul is. Odd.

[WillColbert]

So Matt's reaction to realising that Lil is having an affair with his brother is to book a holiday to Turkey? That's an odd response - what is he up to?

[ppeatfruit]

london yes me too why can't she hear?

[PigletJohn]

Ifty will need to have his trust and confidence rebuilt. The next woman may find him strangely reticent and relectant to commit, and will probably complain about him.

[Songbird]

I don't get the logic behind Paul's story. As ppeat says he is spinning this tale where Celia is doing everything he is actually doing, and 'isn't that terrible?'. So...... does he not make the connection that what he is doing to his children is terrible? Don't get it.

[ppeatfruit]

IMO he lives in a web of delusion songbird He's not as you or I. I also found it odd that his daughter told him that she loved him if he's that weird.

[OldBeanbagz]

So what's the deal with Matt booking a holiday? Is it going to be a cruise so that Lillian can mysteriously disappear (overboard) late one night?

Or is he going to invite Paul along for a showdown?

[JollyGolightly]

I missed the part where the penny finally dropped for Matt. How does he know who it is?

[ppeatfruit]

It was because poor Darryl was asking for him for work and mentioning who he'd worked for previously as being able to give him a good reference. (yeah a good reference for rogering Lil!!!)

[ppeatfruit]

I'm looking forward to listening this p.m.! Cruise you sayOldBeanz? Just to piss Paul off I expect!

[lljkk]

Paul's compulsive lying sounds all too plausible, people like that are really out there. Charmers but users. Maybe this was SWs way of showing us that for all his own smarmy faults, Matt could be a lot worse.

[ppeatfruit]

Yippee Ambridge Fete's Highland Games !!!!

[piprabbit]

"He has prospects and I like tractors"

MN quote of the week .

[Pancakeflipper]

I have been narrowing my eyebrows at the SW lately but they must be doing something right as I slightly love Tiger Matt at the moment.

Paul will just stop talking and start growling soon. His voice is getting bizarre.

Am hoping Matt will take Pip "sooooo unfair" Archer with him to Turkey and dangle her over a boat.

[TallGiraffe]

The date of the holiday seemed significant - do we know when Paul's birthday is?

[CuttedUpPear]

Anyone else imagining the mysterious disappearance of Lil whilst on holiday? Sold into the white slave trade perhaps?

Why else would Matt take her away for a seemingly significant 2 weeks????? Hmm???

[lljkk]

Or Lil's birthday, maybe, it's early July.

[Songbird]

Is it going to be as boring innocent as he's just trying to win her back? I'm very disappointed with this whole ridiculous storyline. Matt was being really awful for a bit there and she should have just dumped him, or had a wonderful affair with a wonderful man. But nooooo.... Matt is an interesting character, but his voice just grates. Such a ridiculous 'rough trade come good' accent.

[lljkk]

I bet Celia's wedding is end June/early July but Matt wouldn't know anything about that.

Matt is so conniving, I am desperate to know what he's up to.

Celia's page is broken link from Paul's page on TA website, tsk tsk.
