Discuss The Archers here. There's hut construction, new teen arrivals, pastured eggs, pining Pip and other fun Spring-like stories to choose from.

Maybe if we don't look directly at the other storyline it will disappear?

Tag Hellin or Psuedo ?

I steeled myself to listen to the rape scene this morning and thought it was very sensitively done. I think the theory about DA starting/escalating in pregnancy is because the man feels threatened and jealous as he's losing control of your body. Sick I know. for all those if you who've been through this.

I thought it was great they got Kirsty to call WA but the volunteer sounded v robotic. The women on the other end of that line often have personal experience of DA and can be v warm & sympathetic, as well as professional and helpful. It all sounded v staged. And Wayne's song was cringe worthy.

Completely agree the WA conversation sounded so wooden. At least they did it so brownie points for that but it did sound rather false!
Kirsty is gradually putting all the pieces together, I hope she gets Helen to tell her more or convinces her to phone WA herself.

Swirling Pip has many friends, probably peers among the Young Farmers (of which she is , or was, an active member).

She works at Brookfield so of course she is quite upfront atm. There does seem to be quite bit of sibling rivalry which is fairly natural IME though I agree that D and R should say something about her jealousy of Josh. (though of course there would be complaints on here if she was a saint ) I like that she is sexually active and the parents aren't upset about it.

I may be alone on this, but I liked Wayne's song. It was totally in keeping for Eddie to have that kind of party and for Wayne, Jolene and Eddie to start singing.

There's being sexually active and then there's being sexually active and making crude comments to your parents about your sex life. Former would be preferred!

She has to do a major fuck up and come back humble to rescue us from the smug perfect farmer her parents seem to see. I don't think she shows any positive personality traits and the negative ones are irritating more than loathsome.

maybe it's just because they have made her one dimensional and the sw and actress are struggling to add dimensions

It must be difficult if you have to go to a cottage across the yard in full view of the family though BYOS.

Was it Josh or Toby who said she was grumpy because she 'wasn't getting any any more' ?

I was surprised by all the leading questions the WA responder asked Kirsty. I'd have thought they'd be careful to be more neutral in order to better assess the situation, especially if it's somebody calling on someone else's behalf.

Are we filling up the thread with requests for a new thread now? Maybe Pseudo has a life IRL.

We're close to or around 50 threads now?

That's not quite what I meant, Ppeat, yes, we have been told she has friends but we don't really hear these interactions so she only really has the opportunity to feature as 'heir to Brookfield' or in relation to a boyfriend. There isn't really any other speaking character with whom she would naturally associate. Tom, for example, can be a main player in a storyline or he can just feature once in a pub scene as part of a Roy or Fallon storyline. It's these things that I think flesh out a character subtly. With Pip, it's always all about Pip.

Remind me to listen to the film tomorrow before I go to the launderette. :o Due to doing savage hours I'm in bed at 6pm every evening and have been driving a van with no radio during my working hours.

Oops sorry! No more posts and I'll start a new one!

Don't be ridiculous! That sort of thing is never allowed!

(It's okay, I am off to the new thread now!)

Thanks for the new thread pseudo

I know it's childish ......

But I never maxed out a thread before

And I always enjoy having the last word

So I'm hoping that this is my lucky day

See you all over here
