Won't someone please give Kenton a kick in the FA Cup Finals, and a link to Money Saving Expert?

I think that's being a bit too generous to Kate frankly.

There was a shepherd's hut on Home Farm years ago. It's where Greg chose to end it all. Brian and Will found him there. I always thought very much better of Brian because he held Will back from going to investigate and went forward first himself. Will was Greg's assistant and they were close. Also, Will would still have been very young at that time.

A few days later Brian set the hut alight in an approximation to a Zoroastrian funeral rite (well, that's how I heard it). Sad

Fairbrethren have pissed off David already! Like the fact he emphasised the short time they'll be there. They will struggle to get them of the land won't they.

The pip/Toby thing is just gross now. He's a first class jerk and she's a sap.

Go phoebe! Calling her out on her hypocrisy. She needs to talk to Hayley ASAP!

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 05/07/2015 19:17

Lots of ambridgites on a minibus - fatal motorway crash?

Kate trying to tell the worlds most responsible teenager that she wasn't ready...

minkGrundy · 05/07/2015 19:23

I cannot believe Kate's peeve 2as that Phoebe hadn't okayed it with her firstShock

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/07/2015 19:36

Phoebe really drew the short straw on the mother front, didn't she?

Kate most assuredly didn't talk to Jennifer about her own sex life. She seems to have learned nothing from her own life experiences. When she was 16 she took off with the proceeds from the fishing lake and left her parents to fear the worst for months, including a dreadful incident when Brian drove to Cornwall to identify a body that might have been Kate's. She was sexually active at a far younger age than Phoebe.

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 05/07/2015 19:51

Gas - That's why I'm worried she's going to say she was raped and that's why she was screwed up. She is the worst character in the world to have a historic sex abuse storyline with though.

I would prefer that she ha done it because that mothers instinct kicked in - I think most parents would react in the same way. It's just a bit late for that motherly side to emerge - she would be best moving back to SA and trying to build a relationship with her younger kids.

Selks · 05/07/2015 19:59

Kate literally has no clue how to be a parent. I almost feel sorry for her (but don't).

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 05/07/2015 20:10

I am LOLLING at shag anything in trousers

I am very confused about which one that Pip fancies of the brothers???

title idea...
"The Archers. Goslings, Heather-Pet or Kate's business dreams: Come and discuss which one will outlive this thread."

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 05/07/2015 20:22

Pip likes the workshy one who shows no interest in spending time with her

Rex isn't coming across very well either though so maybe they aren't permanent characters

David is clearly going to lose it with them at some point and Jill will be very smug

GriefLeavesItsMark · 05/07/2015 20:32

I think it might be Toby, but I can't really tell them apart. Anyway, just hoping she doesn't become so lovestruck she stays in amridge to butter his goose.

BYOS, it really would require an audacious bit of re-writing for Kate to claim that now. Fingers crossed nobody dares.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/07/2015 20:54

Yes, that is a bit confusing, but Rex doesn't play now because of an injury. Toby is presumably a keen amateur. He's certainly a player...

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 05/07/2015 21:21

Yes gas - or they will claim she never spoke of it before and his it. Or it will end up as a false claim. Hopefully neither though.

I thought Toby sounded like rob too. And there is pip jumping to his tune like a lovesick puppy.

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 05/07/2015 21:24

aAslthough I think the reason he asked for those was to let the listeners know he was scantily clad

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 05/07/2015 21:50

@ARealPipperoo

Toby Trouble is the one who Pip likes, and who possibly had an alliance with Kate at the reddle party. But I'm confused now because I thought Rex was the rugby player, but tonight Toby was talking about having to do training with his new team. He sounded like Rob talking to Helen tonight - "get me the towel ... Get me my t-shirt" and Pip simpering and doing his bidding, just like Helen Sad

YY that was why I was confused.

I absolutely LOVE the bit where Phoebe says "Did you talk to your mother before losing your virginity? Do you know ANYONE who did?"

At the end of all that I literally shouted "YEAHHH, GO PHOEBE" to the (luckily) empty room.
