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?

Maybe Rob is gonna go full (Norman) Bates.

The shepherd's hut is so going to be the new hen house.

Maybe the phone Kirsty gave Helen recorded the whole shenanigans?

George yes, I have fantasies that she accidentally pressed some kind of record button on it!!

I wondered if she just didn't hang up, leaving the line open to Kirsty's VM which would have recorded. But I think she did hang up, because Kirsty called her later on that phone. Or was that before?

Mobile phones tend to disconnect if one side of the call hangs up, unlike landlines - I think.

Ah, is it different? Thanks, I didn't realise that.

Nothing in the episode descriptions to suggest that Helen will give birth in the next couple of weeks. Due date is thought to be around 19 May.

Any of the prophets on this thread want to predict when the birth will be?

I'm going to plump for 6 May. (No great reasoning, but it will be amazing if I'm right! ).

Hells is in the cast list for next week...

Sweepstake I've taken your idea D3 (giving you credit) & started a sweepstake.

Radio Times 24-29 April

Barrister Anna is trying to build her case, but Helen’s memory is hazy and her fixation on being away from Henry certainly isn’t helping matters. Meanwhile, when Ursula breaks an agreement, Pat feels that she has little choice but to take official action.

A preoccupied and forgetful Tom is unwittingly making more work for himself at Bridge Farm, but luckily Johnny is on hand to do some extra hours. While Johnny slogs away, Jazzer asks for a favour, but doesn't get the reaction he was hoping for.

Lilian is making finishing touches to the Dower House, adding a statement piece of her own that gets Justin's seal of approval. But after seeking reassurance from Jennifer, Lilian finds herself on the receiving of some sisterly straight talking.

Rex, meanwhile, has come up with a brand name for the pastured eggs and wants Pip to be the first one to hear it. She, though, is forging ahead with her own business after finding some cattle that she wants to buy. Parents Ruth and David warn her that she's dealing with a shark, but can Pip stand her ground and strike the right deal?

Finally, Jim is starting to get back to normal at Greenacres and Jazzer is keen to rejoin his old housemate, but is finding it hard to confirm a move-in date. We may be looking forward to a reunion for Ambridge’s favourite odd couple, but perhaps the prospect of a Jazzer-free household will prove too tempting for Jim?

Poor Jazzer - homeless and jobless

Mystic Bore predicts Auntie Cardboard will be moving in with Jim

Scandalous!

What agreement has Ursula made with Pat? Or is it still to come? Maybe something to do with Henwee?

I think that Ursula will take Henry to see Rob. Pat shouldn't let Henry out of her sight, let alone leave him alone with Ursula.

TOTAL TV GUIDE 23 - 29 APRIL 2016

Barrister Anna's struggling to build Helen's case without the relevant information.

Pat is shocked when Ursula breaks an agreement - how will she react?

There are lighter concerns at the Dower House, where Lillian is adding the finishing touches.

Fearing it lacks something, she adds a statement piece, but while Justin is pleased, will Miranda like it?

Jennifer has things on her mind - what did she see in the wood?

Rex plans some quality time with Pip.

Pip is forging ahead with her business ideas.

Jim's settling back in Greenacres, but does he still want a housemate? Jazzer clearly hopes so ...

I suppose it's too much to hope that Jennifer has seen Stefan's corpse in the wood. Rob isn't in the cast list for next week, but I wouldn't place too much reliance on that.

Maybe it's Stefan alive!

Is it possible he never actually went home and has been lying low in Borchester? And has been drawn back by the newspaper headlines?

Yes, living in a tent in the woods fashioned from bunting, with just Scruff for company - until he sent him back to Lynda on Christmas Eve. That all makes just as much sense as anything we're hearing on air at the moment!

I'm not sure whether there's much point in publishing cast lists in advance if they're going to go all coy about leaving names of major cast members off it.

Maybe Jennifer finds some arson related evidence?

I still feel that ultimately Rob needs to be undone by uncovering evidence of all the other crap he's pulled. Either way I just hope SOC was being an arse when he talked about things going on for years.

Perhaps Ursula takes Henry to see Rob on the understanding that she brings him back to Pat afterwards - but doesn't?

Am glad have found this thread as at least I am now pre warned for the rage inducing episode that will be Arsula having Henry to herself
I hope she does something which makes Pat stop being such a wet blanket and start protecting her family!

And by Pat, I mean Pat AND Tony but we've heard so little from him over recent weeks/months I tend to forget he exists!

Trying to get my head around the Ursula/Rob/Henry relationship. Rob will still want Henry as it's his ultimate power weapon over Helen. Ursula won't want to fritter away any cash on Henry now that her precious Rob has been hurt by Helen and I'm sure she'll treat Henry like Cinderella. She will only tolerate Henry whilst he makes Rob happy. I can't see her wanting to deal with the day to day reality of Henry, but I suppose she wants to stamp her authority over Pat & Tone by taking him back to BHC. Hopefully they will get Anna T on Henry's case to get a formal arrangement for looking after him.
