Archers spoilers or Archers spoiled? You decide. Thread the Second

[BoreOfWhabylon]

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...

Radio Times
22nd to 27th January

*It's a big week for Pat, who must deal with a couple of curveballs. First, she's left slack-jawed with shock after Tom reveals that Kirsty is having his baby, but that they're not together as a couple.

Then comes a showdown with the vile Ursula Tichener, who can't help but vent about all the troubles the Archers have supposedly wrought on Rob. Pat is determined to give as good as she gets, but does she have what it takes to have the final word?

Elsewhere, Susan continues to worry about her appearance, and Jazzer and Anisha enjoy the Burns night celebrations.*

Gump, thanks for that! Wonderful news that Ursula is to return. She of course is utterly in tune with the post-fact world. In her world Rob can do no wrong and anyone who says he has done wrong is a liar and a scoundrel. Sounds horribly familiar at the moment.

Jazzer and Anisha

Although... handy if he wants to get back on the ketamine.

Ursula's turn for the teeth then!

Ursula will be giving them a good old scrub, I am sure. Nice too to see her arrival was predicted by me before i read this thread.

BBC website has updated.

24 Jan. Tom gets the go-ahead, and Roy does a good deed.
25 Jan. Rex leaves no stone unturned, and could Jazzer have met his match
26 Jan. Toby gets a surprise invite, and Josh has his eyes on the prize.
27 Jan. Alan is none the wiser, while Lilian shares what she knows.

29 Jan. Lilian wants to hear all, and Toby has got places to be.
30 Jan. Pip goes in search of the truth, and has Alistair bitten off more than he can chew?
31 Jan. Ruth makes a shocking discovery, and Jolene gets the inside story.
1 Feb. Justin feels like he can be himself, and Lilian has to improvise.
2 Feb. Pat needs to iron things out, and Roy is feeling sensitive.
3 Feb. Helen is on a mission, and a fallen tree causes chaos.

5 Feb. Helen is concerned for Henry, and Harrison is having nightmares.
6 Feb Eddie is given a warning, and Justin wants to make up for lost time.
7 Feb. Anisha worries for her reputation, and is Josh pulling a fast one?
8 Feb. Jennifer wants to put an end to the rumours, and Fallon thinks outside the box.
9 Feb. Kirsty receives an unexpected gift, and Peggy does some investigating.
10 Feb Lilian is keen to enjoy herself, and Pat wonders if her family needs more support.

Thanks again, Gump! None of those suggest to me that Rob has run amok , but I live in hope. If he has really left the village, I'll eat my hat.

29th January to 3rd February

It's the news we've been waiting for: Pip is finally fed up of life with Toby. He fails to turn up for the lunch she has prepared and hurries off to work on his distillery. But as a despondent Pip opens up to Ruth, will she conclude only that she's in too deep to give Toby up?
At the Stables, Anisha is getting her feet under the table with Alistair by showing him a wish list of equipment they should buy. As Anisha steamrollers on with her ideas, Alistair is left worried by the eye watering total.
Meanwhile Pat pays Kirsty a visit. It's the first time they've crossed paths since the pregnancy announcement and it's fair to say that the atmosphere is more than a little strained...

Gasp0 Rob's not in the cast list for the next 3 weeks (though Ursula isn't in the cast list for the week she is supposed to row with Pat so ...)

I was away last week and still catching up but I hope he hasn't left. The actor deserves a better farewell. A bang not a whimper.

Was Stefan in the cast list? I wouldn't put it past them to be deliberately holding back the names to fool us!

Stefan wasn't in the cast list. I'm convinced he was played by Kenton-actor.

Credited on omnibus cast list as Serge Soric.

Ah, I stand corrected

Thanks Gasp0

Stefan wasn't in the RT cast list but I wouldn't have expected him to be. His sudden reappearance would have been a big giveaway. Naming Rob and Ursula much less so.

Helen being concerned about Henry might be some sort of Rob-type action? I wonder If Arsula will take the view that the prohibition against contacting him doesn't apply to her, and insist on trying to tell him how nasty Mummy won't let him see Daddy?

Speaking of cast lists, the BBC website doesn't have Toby for the w/c 29th hurrah and what do we read into Harrison's reappearance?

'Ruth makes a shocking discovery', 'Harrison is having nightmares', Ursula's return......

Is Knob going to be swinging from the rafters of a random Brookfield barn?

Maybe Ruth will find out that Tobee has spent all Pip's beef cattle money?

30 Jan. Pip goes in search of the truth, and has Alistair bitten off more than he can chew?
31 Jan. Ruth makes a shocking discovery, and Jolene gets the inside story.
1 Feb. Justin feels like he can be himself, and Lilian has to improvise.
2 Feb. Pat needs to iron things out, and Roy is feeling sensitive.
3 Feb. Helen is on a mission, and a fallen tree causes chaos.

5 Feb. Helen is concerned for Henry, and Harrison is having nightmares.

7 Feb. Anisha worries for her reputation, and is Josh pulling a fast one?
8 Feb. Jennifer wants to put an end to the rumours, and Fallon thinks outside the box.
9 Feb. Kirsty receives an unexpected gift, and Peggy does some investigating.
10 Feb Lilian is keen to enjoy herself, and Pat wonders if her family needs more support.

12 Feb Roy and Helen have a nervous wait, and Jennifer raises her game.
13 Feb Tom struggles to accept the truth, and Eddie and Clarrie lock horns.
14 Feb Anisha has a difficult day at the office, and Miranda presents her case.
15 Feb Harrison hatches a plan, and Alistair faces a dilemma.
16 Feb Emotions run high at Bridge Farm, and Freddie has a lot on his mind.
17 Feb Jazzer dishes out some tough love, and Lilian sails close to the wind.

Hmmm... what is happening at Bridge Farm...
Cast has Pip but not the Fairbrethen.

Radio Times
5 - 10 February

Rob's departure may have been welcome news for Helen, but Henry's behaviour has worsened in the wake of his exit. Helen feels she can't reveal the truth to her son, and Pat wonders if they should find him professional support.

Kirsty is slack-jawed with shock after Peggy presents her with a huge cheque. While it would be great to have a bit extra, she doesn't want to cause any family trouble. Can Kirsty really accept Peggy's money?

After learning that Kenton's panto ad-libbing fuelled the gossip about Lillian and Justin, Jennifer urges her sister to be more careful. But Lillian isn't interested in the advice – she can look after her own reputation, thank you very much.

Ah, thanks Gumpendorf

Wonder if Kirsty has a miscarriage or something is wrong with the baby? (12th Feb, "Roy and Helen have a nervous wait" - at the hospital? 13th Feb - "Tom struggles to accept the truth")

I wondered the same Gardner.

Ooooh! I said something similar ages ago!

Why does it read to me as though something bad is in store for Kirsty

That would be quite a late miscarriage? She's over 20 weeks isn't she? That would be hard listening but if handled well it would be a god subject to bring to attention.
