And so it continues. We still have one long-term prediction from the start of the last thread that has not yet come to pass - the burning down of Lower Loxley.

But there is still time...

And why don't Kirsty and fallon put their heads together to help Helen?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/05/2016 20:12

Do we think there's any possibility that Rob will arrive at Bridge Farm, demanding to work in the shop, and Pat will be so enraged she stabs him in the other side? Then she could be with Helen in prison and we wouldn't have to hear her any more.

GrinGrin Love that SL Gasp0!

TOTAL TV GUIDE 21 - 27 MAY 2016

Helen's feeling tearful as the reality of her situation hits home.

Things are no better at Bridge Farm, where Pat fears for her daughter's wellbeing.

Peggy has some sound advice.

Kirsty has sharp words with Ursula, and later joins forces with Fallon to try and broker a truce between Tom and Jazzer.

Matthew visits Brookfield, where's he's impressed with Pip's skills after seeing her 150 strong herd.

Jennifer's delighted to have the old Lillian back - is Justin responsible for sparkle in her eyes?

Inspired by the elves in the Millennium Wood, Kenton orders some merchandise to sell - but Jolene's not convinced.

BoreOfWhabylon · 17/05/2016 20:42

Yay! Go Kirsty!!!

And thanks Gasp0

The shop is due to reopen next Friday I believe. Please, hurry up & sack Rob now! Pat needs to work in the shop or perhaps someone could remember Nick exists and give her a school hours job.

Gawd, does that mean we've got at least another week of paterwauling? I think that may finally break me and induce me to turn off. I listen in the hope of hearing Knob get his come-uppance, but right now Pat is annoying me even more than he does.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/05/2016 23:05

Matthew visits BF? I thought we'd just heard the last of him. Sad

BYOSnowman · 21/05/2016 08:57

He will probably visit silently. I suspect they have spent most of the budget on an all expenses paid trip for the cast to go to mime school in Paris. David did a sterling job the other night.

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/05/2016 10:26

Matthew is on the cast list for next week. Expect Pip will have shagged Tubby by then and it will all be v awkward..

More interestingly, Ian is on the cast list for the following week...

Given Toby was giving Rex advice on how to seduce pip I expect a tedious fighting brothers sl. Yawn.

DadDadDad · 21/05/2016 11:19

Oh, I thought Pip was going to be Bert's new love interest. After all, he was the one commenting on her makeup and nail varnish... Shock

ColdTeaAgain · 22/05/2016 13:05

22nd Rob is having trouble getting through, and Ursula is pleasantly surprised.

Ursula is going pleased baby is a surprise girl.
Hope we get to enjoy Knob being told he can't see Helen and the baby.

ColdTeaAgain · 22/05/2016 20:40

Urgh well that was totally wrong. Suppose Ursula's nice surprise was about the name choice. Should've known!

The single wicket contest gets under way and Toby has his sights on the big prize.

Gruach · 24/05/2016 22:50

Thank you!

So I guess this Friday is naming day?

(Whether anyone will still be listening by then is another matter ...)

glowfrog · 25/05/2016 07:01

Rob letting his mask drop in front of Peggy could be good - unless she ends up blaming the stabbing and its consequences etc.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 25/05/2016 07:23

I hope so. Trying to think of the name that would annoy Rob most (although anything that's not Gideon Robert should do the trick) - any combination of Tony, Adam, Ian, Charlie? I hope she registers him as Archer, not Titchener, but wouldn't bank on it.

Vango · 25/05/2016 09:29

DadDadDad I'm waiting for you to do a quick 'guess the name' thread! Grin

I'm going for Adam Jack or Jack Adam Archer.

Vango · 25/05/2016 09:46

Ooh, maybe Rob flies off the handle because Helen does actually manage to name the baby herself and he's not happy! Perhaps Peggy goes round intending to share the photos and congratulate him?

Maybe there are gaps in the listings because they contain the baby's name?

Mind you, I've been wrong about everything else.

I really hope we say hello to baby Jack.

DadDadDad · 25/05/2016 09:51

Vango, there's already a thread for that www.mumsnet.com/Talk/radio_addicts/a2617513-Helens-Baby-Sweepstake?msgid=61269983#61269983

Nobody got the date right, it doesn't look like the weight will be revealed, so maybe someone can get the name?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 26/05/2016 22:26

Too much to hope, I suppose, that there are some missing words on Tues 14 Jun and it actually means that Pat is put out of her misery...

AugustaFinkNottle · 27/05/2016 17:45

If Phoebe is finding solace because she's messed up her exams, I shall officially Not Be Happy. And even less so if it means she ends up at bloody Felpersham University.
