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.

@ppeatfruit

Anyone reckon they're setting the scene for Jack's death?

Hope Ilona feels guilty.

I dont think they'll put paul under the patio.

Yes Olivia it sounded like there could be a reconciliation between Ilona and Darryl didn't it?

Also maybe like Paul could put himself round a tree in his car

I'm thinking now that the Paul beating will take place either just before they go to Turkey so Lil doesn't want to go (or has she had enough of Paul now after the stalking bit?) OR while they're away so she doesn't know until they get back. Or will she care now? Was the stalking/crazy driving thing the end for her?

If it isn't enough for her then the SWs will have changed her character into 'victim'; though the way TA is going it wouldn't be surprising would it?

good point ppeatfruit - but very disappointing. when she started the affair I was thinking "you go, girl" as Matt was being such an a**e at the time. I can't really believe that someone so feisty and independent would shrivel like this.
Or maybe thankfully, I haven't had enough experience of such EAers

I think Matt's never going to tell Lillian he knows.

Wierd.

Even weirder that she hasn't guessed he knows

The whole thing's really stupid. And I'm losing patience with it.

And why haven't we heard from Brenda? I thought she and Helen were friends- or is Helen now so taken up with her new friend Emma (always good for an Archer to have someone to patronise!) that she hasn't got any time for her?

@seeker

I think Matt's never going to tell Lillian he knows.

Wierd.

I think it's a power thing.

Do you think he's saving it, and will spring it on her in 10 years time?

Oh, oh.oh- or is he going to use it to pressure her into buying the bit of land Lizzie's selling?

Matt's my new favourite, and "I don't want Armageddon" is my new catch phrase!

I'm not sure about their finances but I thought that Lil holds the financial clout and he has to appease her am I right?

think so ppeatfruit - he's not allowed to run the business legally

I think you are right Olivia - it's power, not love (sadly)

Soooo Matt is going to have Paul done over while they're away so if th e hit man gets too enthusiastic and Matt gets put away she'll not have either of them (that'll learn 'er not to get mixed up with shady types won't it?)

Ohhhh no, I don't want to wait till the end of june to hear Paul get what's coming to him.

Paul may well put his car round a tree before then with any luck. I just realised why Matt hasn't told Lil he knows about the affair so she won't be able to 'put the finger' on him

Good thinking fruit, Matt has covered himself well

Whole thing could backfire if Lillian is present for the attack, she foils it, the police arrest the attacker, he fingers Matt....

Kinda obvious, no?

Noooo, I think Matt will make sure Lillian is under his beady eye when paul gets beaten to a pulp the unfortunate accident takes place.

I must say, the hitman sounds a bit dopey. Do we think he will get the right man or some random?

Aah but lljkk she'll be in Turkey with Matt won't she? The whole reason for the trip is as herons says to "keep a beady eye" on her

No, no, not while on Turkey, much sooner. Matt was talking to his Hired-Thug yesterday, Thug saying he couldn't get on with the job because the guy wasn't home. Hired Thug kept asking Matt how to find the guy. It was supposed to happen ASAP. Hence why Matt is keeping close tabs on Lil for now, i imagine, but he can't keep eye on her 24/7.

Oh blimey I didn't hear that!!

I'll listen again!!

Am not at all confident that Hired Thug will find the right guy. And, if he does, it seems quite likely that Newly Nasty Paul might just pound him into a pulp.
