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

OOh no songbird I LIKE Matt's accent Grin It's the sexiest part of him!

Songbird · 16/05/2013 13:15

Get out of my sight!!

RocknRollNerd · 17/05/2013 07:49

Talking of Ambridge men....Jennifer mentioned the strawberry pickers are back soon - is Pawel going to return?

OliviaMMumsnet · 17/05/2013 16:20

I was thinking abuot pawel the other day...and that we have heard nothing from Ian and Adam of late...

TallGiraffe · 17/05/2013 16:22

They've been missing for ages, fallen into the Borsetshire Black Hole of oblivion. Although Spencer did mention Adam the other night so maybe they'll reappear soon.

Macarooned · 18/05/2013 10:06

What, no posts about Fri night's episode!

I did proper gasp when Matt picked up Angie/Celia's keys .... but ending was frustrating

I want to know what Matt's plan is.....

heronsfly · 18/05/2013 10:22

i was waiting for a mention of last night too Grin, He has definitely got a plan, I think that was one of the best episodes for a long time, shame they had to shove the sausage king in though.

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/05/2013 13:01

Anyone else think Matt might find a job for Desperate Darrell whilst he and Lils are in Turkey? A job involving Paul and patio slabs?

Don't think there's ever been a proper murrrderrr in Ambridge has there?

lljkk · 18/05/2013 16:29

Darrell is the world's biggest wimp! He couldn't scare a mouse.

ppeatfruit · 18/05/2013 16:36

Yes lljkk let alone murder one Shock

TallGiraffe · 18/05/2013 17:20

That was an excellent episode!

Macarooned · 18/05/2013 21:34

Ooh murder, that could liven things up but agree Darrell is too wimpy.

It would be a great counter storyline to the Clarrie/Nic flower arranging and church attendance one, which is frankly completely odd...

HearMyRoar · 18/05/2013 22:38

Probably matt will call up one of his gardening mates from when he was inside to do the actual murdering but I can so imagine him getting Darryl in to do the patio work.

PseudoBadger · 18/05/2013 22:48

Just caught up. Episode was ok, more of an 'enabler'. The stage has been set. Although, where were Lillian/Paul/Matt/Angie?

OP posts:
BoreOfWhabylon · 18/05/2013 22:49

Yes! Because Matt will somehow know about dog fighting Darren and will persuade him into going along with patioing Paul to avoid it All Coming Out.

Such fun!

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/05/2013 22:50

Darrell, not Darren

R4 · 19/05/2013 09:48

My latest wrong as usual theory: Matt has organised a proper holiday to Turkey; is it a full fortnight? it's certainly more than a long weekend. As the date arrives he suddenly 'discovers' that he can't take time off. He persuades Lillian to go without him, knowing that she will take Paul instead (he will be easily convinced because he will be vulnerable as he is smarting over the wedding). Whilst the two are well out of the country, Matt will bring into place his master plan that involves financially ruining Paul because he knows that, the moment that the money dries up, Paul will lose his attraction to Lil.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Mwah ha ha.

ppeatfruit · 19/05/2013 09:58

I wondered about the venue as well Pseudo It was in Watford wasn't it? because she was supposed to be seeing her son? I reckon Matt must have followed Lil (funny how she never noticed him Grin).

Nah R4 because she has a lot of money of her own I reckon she'll go off Paul as soon as the truth of his lying over the wedding comes out.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/05/2013 12:51

Yes, and then Paul will go totally off his trolley, declaring if he can't have her no-one else will and there will be a Dramatic Stand Off with a hostage situation in the love nest.

Matt will batter the door down with his golf clubs (Darrell will be his caddy). Matt will also batter Paul. Darrell will do a bit of patio-laying to hide the evidence.

Sorted.

PseudoBadger · 19/05/2013 13:50

Ah so the ultimate end to Matt and Darryl's criminal careers will be a life term for both of them?

OP posts:
BoreOfWhabylon · 19/05/2013 14:40

Hmmmm... hadn't considered that.

But yes, that could work. And then Lillian and Elona could set up home together.

Don't think there's ever been a lesbian story line, has there?

chocoluvva · 19/05/2013 14:51

Does anyone know what age Lillian is meant to be?

PseudoBadger · 19/05/2013 14:56

She's 65

OP posts:
chocoluvva · 19/05/2013 14:59

65?1 Shock eh? Really Thankyou.

Where does she find the energy? I'm 'well jel' as my teenage DD might say.

PigletJohn · 19/05/2013 15:13

65 and smokes like a chimney, hence the croaky old voice. No doubt she's heavily wrinkled and couldn't run for a bus.
