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?

Fingers crossed. In the past Johnny has been his own man - but the cricket incident has shaken my confidence.

Anyway, even if he did leave he could come back when the sinkhole swallows Rob.

Johnny leaving would destroy pat and Tony

They may not have noticed rob is abusing their daughter or trying to get rid of their sons sausage empire but they will notice if there is a hint that he is trying to get rid of Johnny

Maybe that's how it will go - they will order rob off the premises and Helen will 'side' with him - this isolating her more and potentially with ursula insisting they all move in with her

Radio Times 5th-11th March

Things come to a head at Blossom Cottage.

------------------

My stomach's lurching just thinking about what's going to happen.

Helen's past returns to haunt her

And mention of an 'intriguing young visitor' up thread somewhere

It's Annette, isn't it? Finally come back after vsiting her nan in Sheffield or somewhere all those years ago.

Or Greg's other daughter - Michelle, was it?

Thanks Gasp0...

Do they really mean "things come to a head" or is it a sort of pun? The wording is very specific.

I was hoping the intriguing young visitor might be Doc Locke's daughter - but I guess Annette is a possibility.

How might Helen briefly escape? Phone call to the Samaritans? Hallucination? Loss of consciousness?

Businesswoman of the year. Gotta be Kate - although no business has been done. Or one of : Elizabeth, Shula, Ruth, Pip, Fallon, Jolene? Would be interesting if Lillian suggested Helen!

It hasn't happened lately but the BBC have been rather fond of a week of trailers if they're planning something major in Ambridge - I'll be looking out for them.

A few more spoilers:

Fri 11th March Temperatures are raised behind closed curtains. Meanwhile, the curtains at the village hall are proudly hung.
Sun 13th Teaser for omnibus: Helen makes a mistake, while Rob and Henry have plenty of work on their hands on Mother's Day.
Sun 13th pm Bert and Lynda have a difference of opinion, and Rex has an opportunity for the taking.
Mon 14th Mr Grundy goes to college, and Helen has an appointment.

I thought Annette was a good guess, but the RT has Sasha Locke in the cast list for the week ending Fri 11th.

I ruuuuuule!

Gruach

Thanks Gasp - looks like it's continuing to ratchet up toward some sort of denouement then

Mr Grundy goes to college yessssss!

How old is Sasha Locke?

Did Doc Locke say 12? I know she was of an age that prompted me to immediately marry her off to Freddie.

Will she be an irregular visitor or will her ma be killed off a la siobhan to pave the way for full time residence?

Next three weeks. I've got my fingers crossed that the call Helen makes on 25th March (Good Friday) is the beginning of the end.

6 On Mother's Day, Rob and Henry roll up their sleeves. David tries to cheer a lovesick Pip....
7 March Lynda's garden gets the creative juices flowing, and the Grundy’s plan a celebration for Eddie....
8 March Helen puts her foot in it, and Josh puts his best foot forward....
9 March Lilian has a brainwave, and Elizabeth meets an intriguing young visitor to Ambridge....
10 March Ed feels he is on the right track, and the Bull's punters are not going hungry....
11 March Temperatures are raised behind closed curtains. Meanwhile, the curtains at the village hall are proudly hung...

13 March Bert and Lynda have a difference of opinion. And is it time for Rex to seize the day?...
14 March Mr Grundy goes to college. And Helen has an appointment.
15 March Lynda hits the rehearsal room. And Pip worries about her relationship....
16 March Helen is vulnerable and out of the loop. Shula and Dr Locke talk families...

20 March Elizabeth has good news, and Alf is turning on the charm.
21 March Johnny is out to impress, and Toby has a brainwave.
22 March Bert is indulging in some garden therapy, and the Fairbrothers welcome their new house guests....
23 March It is all getting a bit much for Lynda, and Clarrie makes a shocking discovery...
24 March Lynda has a proposition for Bert, and Henry reveals a secret.
25 March Clarrie has an epiphany, and Helen makes a call.

So is Clarry the saviour we've been waiting for? I keep reading threads & if the radio is on switching off as soon as I hear Rob, Helen & now Arseula. As I'm usually preparing dinner I sometimes hear more than I'd like by the time I've walked across the kitchen.

The trouble is Clarrie's epiphany could just as easily be ferret-related.

First I thought maybe it'll be to do with the shop, dodgy orders etc then I remembered Clarry doesn't work in the Bridge Farm Shop...

Alf? Alf? Who?

I keep waiting for the spoiler that says "Everyone gets what they deserve and Ambridge lives happily ever after." But it never seems to come.

Thanks though!

Eddie's brother is called Alf. Can't be him though, surely?

Helen's call follows Henry's secret...???

Please let Henry spill the beans to Tony or Uncle Tom. Maybe, just maybe, Helen will have a sudden epiphany and pluck up the courage to call Kirsty or Tom. I had hoped that things coming to a head at Blossom Hill Cottage next week would be the grand finale, but obviously not.

Henry reveals a secret. Coiuld it be this? 'Mummy, Gwanny Uwsula and Wob said this was a secwet, but because I'm a big boy now they're going to send me to a boarding school as soon as they can find one that takes five-year-olds.'

How do we think Helen is going to put her foot in it then?

She's going to fall into the pothole that was oh-so-casually mentioned the other day.

This will ensure that she is forbidden from walking anywhere at all and will be confined to her room, languishing on a chaise longue

Isn't she already housebound though?

Yes, but she can still walk.

Knob and Arsula will probably lop her leg off so she has to be carried around everywhere on a sofa, like Signora Neroni in Barchester Towers (although Sig N didn't let that cramp her style)

Wasn't the pothole in or near Bridge Farm? If so, perhaps Helen's prospective sprained ankle will have to rest there for a couple of days?

(It's no use, I can't convince myself that anything good will happen for her ever again ...)
