OK, this was posted on another site on January 1st 2014

'Based upon a letter in the DM from a reader who alleged they had overheard "an obnoxiously loud member of TA production team" in a Birmingham restaurant. Believe it at your peril.

Rob is revealed to be homophobic.
Jill will move into Brookfield.
The Grundy's to move back to Grange Farm.
Tom will take over the running of Bridge Farm after Tony has an accident.
Lower Loxley may burn down, but that has yet to be decided upon.
Lynda is to stage Blithe Spirit next Christmas.

Or not, as the case may be...'

How much more will come to pass, I wonder?

Well I hope she's calling Twinny to tell him to stop spending his non-inheritance.

(Will probably be that Fallon's discovered the Bull is not properly insured ...)

stilllearnin · 13/03/2015 18:07

No, the biblical flood has made her rethink her hunt sab story.

stilllearnin · 13/03/2015 19:10

Oh dear, that's Shula's call then

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/03/2015 11:05

More spoilers - Heatherpet is on her way! Grin

29 March Shula has a donkey at the ready. Meanwhile, Tony is getting tetchy.
30 March Susan is alarmed, and Pip has got lots to think about.
31 March Tony faces the music, and Kate is bored.
1 April Joe faces a crisis, and Roy is mystified.
2 April Kenton is assertive. Meanwhile, the villagers count the cost.
3 April It's all go at the Bull, and Heather comes to Brookfield.

Oooooooooooah noooooooooooooooooah!

Thanks, Bore.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/03/2015 11:39

She can take over from Freda - cooking pan haggerty and fishies on little dishies at The Bull and keeping company with Bert.

Shula has a donkey at the ready

Brilliant!

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 19/03/2015 13:55

Perhaps she has it at the ready to attack rob. Now that would be good. Rob running round the green being chased by an angry donkey

jennyperru · 20/03/2015 12:54

So the surprise visitor was Kristy not Hazel, I wonder who Peggy's unwelcome visitor will be? Rob with a cushion to put over her face?

ZeroFunDame · 24/03/2015 22:17

So disappointed that Adam didn't take a step into the sinkhole.

What will Rob be confessing on Friday?

ZeroFunDame · 24/03/2015 22:18

The unwelcome visitor will be Hazel since she's finally been mentioned by - was it Ed?

stilllearnin · 24/03/2015 23:13

Is Rob's confession a red herring. I bet it's not the hunt sab or the baby.

ZeroFunDame · 24/03/2015 23:27

It'll either be admitting to some incredibly minor bit of carelessness or inattention re the drainage - perhaps he delegated some task he should have undertaken himself - or he'll admit to Helen that he's phobic about some aspect of the DNA testing.

Bit of course it could actually be a confession in a police station ...

More spoilers.

31 March Tony faces the music, and Kate is bored.
1 April Joe faces a crisis, and Roy is mystified.
2 April Kenton is assertive. Meanwhile, the villagers count the cost.
3 April It's all go at the Bull, and Heather comes to Brookfield.

5 April Easter dawns on Lakey Hill, and Kenton is not budging.
6 April Glorious music fills St Stephens - and who is that in the audience?
7 April Charlie keeps Adam entertained, while for others it is time to plant the strawberries.
8 April Ed is out shopping, and Joe has got a problem.
9 April Heather is heading home, and Helen is in trouble.
10 April The Brookfield cows go out. Meanwhile, Shula and Alistair are proud of Daniel.

12 April Contemporary drama in a rural setting.
13 April It is a difficult day for Rob, but Shula has got high hopes.
14 April Lilian makes some change, while Susan is onto the gossip.
15 April Clarrie is not to be comforted, and Pip cannot wait.
16 April Contemporary drama in a rural setting.
17 April Contemporary drama in a rural setting.

I don't know why we don't have the info for 12/16/17 April yet. This may be a glitch or it may be that there is something big on the way.

Personally I'm looking forward to the cows going out. Too much to hope that Lilian, change and Susan in the same sentence means a change-counting scene, I suppose. Grin

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 31/03/2015 12:28

Aha - here's 12th April. Oh dear.

April 12th. Ian is wary, and Alistair has a lot to think about.

Also, Radio Times preview for next week:

RADIO TIMES 4 APRIL - 10 APRIL 2015

David and Kenton may be at loggerheads, but their animosity definitely makes for good listening. It's rather a shame, then, that there's now a hint of David trying to heal the rift. I could do with a few more temper tantrums before the brothers make up. But then again, there's no saying Kenton will be ready for a reconciliation anytime soon.

Over at Home Farm, Adam has relented and given Kate some work. Foolish, naive man. Of course, he starts to regret his decision after he sees her approaching strawberry planting from her own rather special perspective.

Kate isn't the only one fraying nerves. Joe is managing to cause mayhem at Grey Gables. Will Roy's patience hold?

ZeroFunDame · 31/03/2015 14:07

Oooh - thanks.

6th April sounds promising - bet it's a ghostly Freda in the audience.Grin

Wonder what gives with Helen. Is that "in trouble" like a 19th century serving maid taken in by the feckless younger son of the house?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 31/03/2015 14:33

She cooks trout for Rob and he tells her that she's forgotten that he's unable to eat it, despite having had it every week for months on end?

Icimoi · 31/03/2015 20:18

My money's on some sleb like Gareth Malone turning up in the audience for The Messiah on 6th April.

ZeroFunDame · 06/04/2015 10:53

Well there's no news of a sleb coming to St Stephen's - so my fingers are crossed for Kirsty.

Would they do that?

stilllearnin · 06/04/2015 11:00

I have a feeling K mentioned it when she was last over - to Pat or Fallon. Of course, I want it to be Jess related - perhaps Ursula has a choral interest?

Icimoi · 14/04/2015 23:55

16th April: Tom and Helen have plans, and Rob is feeling the strain.
17th April: Pip is looking ahead, while Shula makes a call.
19th April: Rob wants a private word with Tom, and Ian confides.
20th April: Helen can't believe her ears, and the birds are in full voice.
21st April: Eddie gets it wrong, but the future is bright for Pip.

Let's hope Pip's bright future is far, far away, preferably in Canada, at least till they manage to cast someone who can act.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/04/2015 10:37

A few more:

22 April Shula meets a friend, while Helen is torn.
23 April Charlie surprises Adam, and Lilian is feeling low.
24 April There is news for Helen and Rob, and Pip drops a bombshell.

26 April. Pip is studying hard, and Lynda is on a quest.
27 April Jolene and Kenton are under a cloud, and Ed has got his suit sorted.
28 April Adam is ambitious. Meanwhile, has Fallon made the right decision?
29 April Peggy has bought a present, and Rob has got the upper hand
30 April. Ed is hoping he will get a deal, while Brian just does not get it.
1 May. Pip is stressed, and what will Clarrie wear for the wedding?

I hope Pip is going to the Far East on a 5-year contract with no home leave.

stilllearnin · 18/04/2015 13:20

Gaspode I read the list with your wishes for pip's future as though it were an episode guide!!! Grin I did a double take.

Is the R and H news too soon for the paternity test? That would probably not be billed as news for them both though.

Icimoi · 20/04/2015 12:26

Maybe Helen's inability to believe her ears today will be Tom congratulating her on trying for a baby? But Rob having the upper hand on the 29th sounds like very bad news.

ZeroFunDame · 23/04/2015 08:33

Remind me - who owns Rob's cottage? Is it Usha or another of the Ambridge property magnates?

I'm wondering if the "news" might be about their continued rental.
