Interestingly it's Jim the professed atheist who gave a room to Jazzer Hmm IMO That's quite true to life. Shula is mealy mouthed hypocritical Christian; she has a spare room now Daniel's away too hasn't she?

But she's in lurrrrve Grin She nearly told him didn't she?

PseudoBadger · 15/09/2013 12:38

Ok. So Caroline will be furious that Lynda kept this shambles and misconduct from her, and will sack her. Cathy will get another job after all :o

But Oliver will be grateful that Linda recognised how badly Caroline needed to stay on holiday.

Why the heck Cathy hasn't resigned is beyond me, or at least should be actively job hunting. Before Martyn got involved she must have had a different boss to report to, why isn't she appealing to them?

I wonder if hellin will get preganant?

PseudoBadger · 15/09/2013 13:37

Do you think she knows what causes it?

"Martyn - will you stop being such a pompous, insufferable cunt!" :o Could you imagine the Feedback episode....

sadly he won't stop because he thinks He's Right.

Even if he tried "to be nice" he wouldn't be able to.

I am associated with someone like that, everybody's waiting for him to retire.

Somethingyesterday · 15/09/2013 15:46

If Helen doesn't produce the next true heir to the mega-dairy SW heads should roll. It's far too good a story to miss!

PigletJohn · 15/09/2013 19:19

I wonder if Martin(et) sees himself as Golf Club General Manager

nennypops · 15/09/2013 19:58

Having finally got to hear the delectable Mrs Shen, I'm more gobsmacked than ever that anyone seriously thinks she's a travel journalist. Surely Lynda can do a bit of detective work and expose her? There can then be a splendid scene where they tell her precisely what she can do with her demands for esoteric magazines and a laundry service and throw her out on her ear.

GrendelsMum · 15/09/2013 20:20

The thing that really baffles me is that 4 years ago or so, Alan was taking Luke in, arguing about how the church repair fund should be spent on The Elms, etc, and now everyone seems to have forgotten about it.

Nor has Shula suggested that perhaps the managers of the Elms need to run things better.

Iwantacampervan · 16/09/2013 06:43

Having listened to last night's 'pantomime/farce' at the F&P show I was surprised that a) Henry didn't say something about Rob and Mummy kissing b) Pat wasn't more suspicious about how friendly they all were and c) Pat wasn't suspicious at the 'we haven't seen the beetroot yet' line (unless Ambridge beetroot is multicoloured with fairy lights and a spectacular sight). I certainly wouldn't bypass a cup of tea for any of the fruit and veg.

ppeatfruit · 16/09/2013 09:37

Ah but nenny isn't Ray a little 'fond' of Mrs Shen?

something ALL soap characters have missed the contraception class so IMO she'll get upduffed and wonder how it happened because she's only used a turkey baster to get Henry Grin. Er and Rob is the Manager of big farma (i like that). Not the owner. she'd have to be having it off with Brine for that.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/09/2013 09:47

TBF they do seem to have been a bit bothered by the church organ versus the homeless - I think Alan may work himself up to do something. And Neil and Shula are having a hard enough time getting Darrell to accept any help, if they offered a spare room he'd probably be off and not come back.

Lynda and Ian are definitely onto Mrs Shen - they just need to join the dots to implicate Ray, at which point he'll bugger off, Lynda will Save The Day and all will be well.

I knew Ruth's roses were doomed when they were discussing oasis and Josh's mate's cars in the same breath. Grin

curlew · 16/09/2013 10:00

I'm really getting pissed off now. The script writers are taking us for fools. Just seeing how ridiculous they can be before we switch off.

SomewhereBeyondTheSea · 16/09/2013 10:31

Well, that episode was entirely predictable in every possible way. Sigh.

ppeatfruit · 16/09/2013 10:41

Blimey I'd offer Darrell a room and he could pay for it doing all the numerous odd jobs there are to do here. I bet he'd take a room if it were offered (if only to have a bath Grin).

We mustn't complain about the roses storyline at least it's an EVERYDAY story isn't it? Though a bit Hmm

Somethingyesterday · 16/09/2013 11:02

Oh! You mean the story in my head - of how Rob wrests control of the mega-d from B-Land and offers it to Helen as a wedding present - isn't actually real? Sad

ppeatfruit · 16/09/2013 12:33

Blimey Something you're worse than me with the fantasies!! He'd have to be VERY rich or in cahoots with Matt to do that. Now there's a thought Hmm

Somethingyesterday · 16/09/2013 12:42

Speaking of Matt - he and Lilian would be the obvious people to do something good for Darrell. Once they//the SWs can refocus on Ambridge. Although this is clearly a "Shula"story.

ppeatfruit · 16/09/2013 12:46

Yes of course well done problem solved!

lottiegarbanzo · 16/09/2013 13:23

Yes matt and Lil can redeem themselves and feel all warm together by oung something good for Darrell. The Shula story is surely about a reconciliation with Alan.
