Never mind the yoghurt - who is making the Sterling Gold?!

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Here it is - the infamous shower scene, although I think the worst part is not on this clip.

The Bull used to belong to Sid Perks (who bought it from Caroline, with help from Lilian, who remains a partner). At that time he was married to Kathy. She had an affair with a policeman, which became common knowledge after Eddie started mouthing off about it in the bar one evening, and Sid threw her out. However, they seemed to get over that until suddenly Sid and Jolene found a mutual interest in hygiene.

Kathy and Sid got divorced. Sid kept the pub. Kathy bought the cottage next door to Keeper's, where the Grundys lived until the flood. Jolene moved into the pub and married Sid. After some years, they went on holiday to New Zealand to see his daughter, Lucy (product of his first marriage) and he died of a heart attack while they were out there. Jolene inherited most of Sid's share of the pub, although part went to Jamie, son of Sid and Kathy, and presumably Lucy was entitled to something as well.

Kenton and Jolene got together a few months later. Kenton now behaves as if he is the landlord, but as far as we are aware he has no financial interest in the pub at all. This is the kind of niggly detail that irks me.

[BYOSnowman]

Don't forget Kenton and Kathy were together before he got together with jolene

Not only am I going to picture Ursula with tentacles, I've been trying a new technique where I picture Rob in a clown's outfit. When he utters a chilling line, I picture his bow tie spinning or his red nose lighting up. Not sure if it'll just make him even more sinister .

[MrsWembley]

Nice recap, Gasp0de, but whatever did happen to Kathy? Can't believe I hadn't noticed she'd disappeared!

[BYOSnowman]

Maybe she will end up with Wayne....

[LillianGish]

Perhaps Kathy will get together with Wayne since clearly she and Jolene share the same taste in men. Also they have cooking and catering in common.

[LillianGish]

Great minds BYOS

[BYOSnowman]

Ha ha! Well if we thought it I bet soc has too!

Be funny to see jolene with the shoe on the other foot!

[LillianGish]

Kathy hasn't really disappeared - she's managing Grey Gables through the medium of mime.

[LillianGish]

SOC won't remember any of those past connections - he can scarcely remember what he wrote last week let alone before he was editor.

[BYOSnowman]

True

Maybe KD then

[Joskar]

Five star afternoon?!?!

Good grief.

[choccyp1g]

The other strange thing is that Kathy's house is next door to Keepers, yet was unaffected by the flood. Or did Kathy and Jamie move in to Grey Gables as well?

[LillianGish]

Yes - if they had to have that conversation, just to make it quite clear to the listeners what was what, whoever thought it was a good idea to have it with David and Ruth??

[BYOSnowman]

Yep - totally wrong

Lots of inappropriate convos between pip and her parents though. Like they're mates.

[GruntledOne]

I missed the very end of tonight's episode. When I had to switch off, Kenton was telling Jolene how he owed the turn-around in his fortunes to her. It would be nice to think that one of them acknowledged that they also owed quite a lot to David, Shula, Jill and Elizabeth. Did they, by any chance?

[JapanNextYear]

New thread, ace.

[DadDadDad]

Suffolk - now you've blown it, that's exactly the look I was trying to avoid in my mind.

[EBearhug]

I was thinking Pennywise, but I was considerately not mentioning it.

The thing I always liked about It was the recognition that what is most scary for one person isn't necessarily the same as what is most scary for the next person. So it would be very bad to see Rob like that.

Not that I have any ideas for an alternative.

[spiker]

The Pip-Matt-Ruth-Deevid scenes are bottom-clenchingly awful. The only reason my parents are aware that I have ever had sex is that I have produced 2 DSs.

This obedience gig for Henwee is Knob's terror of Ursula yes? She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.

[Minimammoth]

Arghh.

Just that.

[DadDadDad]

Well, I'm going to give it a go picturing Rob like this.

[GruntledOne]

I don't think the obedience thing for Henry is purely for Ursula's benefit, I think it's another turn of the control screw.

[StubbleTurnips]

Dadx3 I think that's a more terrifying prospect than the first one
