Follow the subtle trail towards the Christmas storyline climaxes in Ambridge - discuss The Archers here

So many possibilities.... A visit from the Titcheners Snr? Baby of the wrong gender? A ruined wedding? Re-housed Grundys? RuthRex?

Nah lillipot she's still the same bad actress and I remember that discussion DadDad. (I'm not going to get into an argument about the use of actor or actress)!!!!

I don't think the Kathy actress is bad. I thought the rape sl was well done.

Judging by the way Neil got hot under the collar thinking about Calendar Girls, and the Chilli scene, perhaps they are going to gave a shades of grey moment in the shed or be spotted dogging.

Minimammoth! MNHQ, surely we should have a pearl clutching or bosom hoicking emoticon? Failing that, a smelling salts bottle would do!

Quite agree about the urgent need for a suitable emoticon...

How did they manage to change where everything goes in the few short weeks Jill was gone? Particularly as they didn't actually do any tidying etc

And why do I feel that the name jez isn't quite appropriate for an ai specialist

Dear god, the Goosebotherers have got a licence to kill!

Nice to see pip is clearly such a clear minded business woman

And why does Ruth care what Jill does in the kitchen - she has her slave back so why complain

Oh, for goodness sake- of course they didn't tell her about the champagne.........

Tbf on Ruth, I would have been pissed off with that little conversation which ended in her being sent off to get tea.

Did pip do a special course on being patronising?

I agree- but that's the first thing she's had the slightest right to be cross about.

Oh Ruth really does need to have a word with herself now. At least we can tell now that we're meant to be annoyed with her, because they've made David start using an uber-reasonable voice all the time...

True. But pip and David do have a rather patronising tone about them - maybe she's only just noticed?

The rugby match sounds a bore - another opportunity for a sleb appearance?

But honestly - why on earth would Jill have to rearrange the kitchen after being gone for such a short time?

And why do I feel that the name jez isn't quite appropriate for an ai specialist?

Really very tired now of Ruth's passive aggressive voice around Jill in the kitchen. Either she wants her there helping or she doesn't; as she obviously does it's surely not too much to leave Jill to organise things in whatever way she finds most convenient.

I am now officially totally confused as to why Ruth is scratching around for something to keep herself occupied. The only thing that's changed is having Jill back, but she was doing bugger all in terms of housework anyway, so how come she's suddenly got so much time on her hands?

If Ruth says 'oh right' one more time I'm going to shove her in the cereal cupboard - she'll be at home with all the cardboard.

And and and why are they talking about champagne like it's such a rarity and expensive? It could have been a bottle of tesco finest for all Ruth knows.

Exactly Gruntled....she ought to be sighing with relief now Jill's back so she can get on with all the jobs that would have been put on the backburner.

That little tussle for control of the kitchen cupboards was ridiculous. I thought it was very rude of Jill to move the cereals after being told it was Ben's idea to relocate them.

At least we know what Ben has been up to now

And so Tobes is going to chat up his mates in the City for 50 grand? I don't think so. He's such a t*at. And how is a tag rugby game going to sell their geese for gobbles' sake.

Babybarrister that was a fab link, thankyou.

Rearranging your kitchen cupboards is usually something you do when there is NOTHING left to do. And what teenage boy (even a mime artist) is bothered about the location of cereal - unless it is not in the house but in the shop that everyone is too bloody busy to go to?!

At least now we know why they were too busy to cook/clean/wash clothes/shop - rearranging cupboards is time consuming.

The BF SL is really annoying me -I'm sure I'm hiding it well-

BUT I did enjoy Tony taking in Knob!
