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
4 June to 9 June
*
Justin Elliott is all over the plotlines just now – surely actor Simon Williams is burning the candle at both ends, seeing as he's also currently playing the mysterious Chairman on EastEnders? In Ambridge, we find Justin being caught driving too fast by Speedwatch volunteers (and trying to talk his way out of trouble during a showdown with Lynda), while also finding time to get the full spiel on Matt's Costa Rican venture (remarkably, it all appears to be legit).
Then there are Tony and Tom, who are at loggerheads over Justin's cash offer: Archer snr is putting up resistance, Archer jnr doesn't want to miss out on the deal. But who will get the upper hand?

2 June Jill feels under attack, and Neil must remain impartial.

*4 June Pip has her nose to the grindstone, and Lilian sounds a warning.
5 June Justin hears it straight from the horses mouth, and Freddie is fed up with his lot.
6 June Lynda strikes a deal, and Kirsty makes amends.
7 June. For Tom, there is no time like the present, while things go from bad to worse for Rex.
8 June. Johnny's plans fall apart, and are Pat and Tom overheard?
9 June. Susan makes enquiries, and Lily tries to keep her mum calm.

11 June. Bridge Farm's secret is out, and Pip faces difficult questions.
12 June. Pat delivers a telling off, and Lower Loxley's prodigal son returns.
13 June. Lynda has troublesome guests, and Kirsty is keen to recruit.
14 June. Lilian chooses her side, and can Elizabeth see history repeating?
15 June. Tom puts himself forward, and Rex is feeling bold.
16 June. Justin smoothes the way, and Matt sticks his oar in.*

• 18 June. Pip insists she is fine, and Tracy makes her mark. 19 June. Justin's hackles are raised, and Kirsty feels she has lost a friend. 20 June. Freddie finds a new vocation, and Anisha sets a challenge. 21 June. Tom is ready to seal the deal, and Lilian smells a rat. 22 June. Adam has an eventful birthday, and Anisha draws a line. 23 June. Matt is on the prowl, and Jill calls on past experience.*

Phoebe's back and someone called Lexi? I have vague memories but I can't pinpoint from where. Anyone?

Thanks, Gumpendorf! Lexi rings no bells with me.

Thanks Gump. Isn't Lexi the doctor's daughter? 15/16 and cross with her mum - Elizabeth gave her a lift once?

Wasn't that sasha?

Anti I stand corrected!

Eh up, we've nearly filled No.2!

Radio Times
11 June to 16 June

There's a big incoming problem for Linda. No, not the start of the hayfever season, but rather the return of James and Leonie who are a special, unique kind of irritant.
All is not well between them - and Lynda's big 70th birthday bash comes under threat.

We also have Open Farm Sunday on the horizon, and Pip proves to be a hit, despite her recent IBR nightmare rearing its head again. But as Ruth worries that her daughter is over doing it, along comes Josh with a bombshell of his own.

Plus Freddie drives Elizabeth to distraction when he and Johnny struggle to make it home after the delights of the festival, while Rex and Alicia agree to go on a date.

Oh poor little Pip...

I think we've a few weeks left on this thread at current rate of posting MrsArthur. Paging @boreofwhabylon for new thread at her (?) convenience.

Maybe I remember Lexi from something else

So I guess the bombshell is Josh not going to uni. Wish it was him moving out and sticking two fingers up at his horrible family!!!

And very predictable that Freddie would end up going with Johnny

So if James and Leonie split up - I guess Leonie will be the one moving to Ambridge with Mungo? That would be stupendous!

11 June. Bridge Farm's secret is out, and Pip faces difficult questions.
12 June. Pat delivers a telling off, and Lower Loxley's prodigal son returns.
13 June. Lynda has troublesome guests, and Kirsty is keen to recruit.
14 June. Lilian chooses her side, and can Elizabeth see history repeating?
15 June. Tom puts himself forward, and Rex is feeling bold.
16 June. Justin smoothes the way, and Matt sticks his oar in.

• 18 June. Pip insists she is fine, and Tracy makes her mark. 19 June. Justin's hackles are raised, and Kirsty feels she has lost a friend. 20 June. Freddie finds a new vocation, and Anisha sets a challenge. 21 June. Tom is ready to seal the deal, and Lilian smells a rat. 22 June. Adam has an eventful birthday, and Anisha draws a line. 23 June. Matt is on the prowl, and Jill calls on past experience.*

25 June. Lilian has a lot on her mind, and Brian is being hassled.
26 June. Justin has a hard day at the office, and Clarrie worries that Eddie has overdone it.
27 June. Harrison thinks it is time to move on, and Jill is keen to be involved.
28 June. Kenton receives an ultimatum, and can Matt keep a secret?
29 June. Lynda initiates a fightback, and David is feeling his age.
30 June. Tom tries to muscle in, and Lilian says her piece.

Tracy joins the cricket team then

So ... Both Matt and Lillian are suspicious of Justin - and together, Scooby-do-like - they scope out the scam. And love re-ignites, etc., etc.,

Thanks Gump!

Harrison wants to move on? From cricket or Ambridge or Fallon? Hmmm.

Thanks, Gump!

Leonie and James splitting (for a bit) would be a good way to get them in the village. And would also possibly cause a bit of difficulty between Lilian and Lynda which could slow their rate of communication over Justin's nefarious scheme (whatever it is).

If Harrison is, for instance, offered a promotion, and persuades Fallon to move then perhaps Emma will take charge of the Ambridge Organics tearoom?

I guess, if Leonie moves to Ambridge, she'll do something web based.

Radio Times*
18 - 23 June
In a scene that seems inspired by a Barbara Cartland novel, Lilian – a woman caught between two men - is thrown from her horse, only for Matt to come rushing to her rescue. In true conniving Crawford style – it soon becomes clear he wants something in return…

*Tom attempts to call Justin's bluff by demanding a higher price for Bridge Farm, only to be left standing when an angry Justin withdraws the offer completely.

Freddie evades college, forcing Elizabeth to get tough and cancel his allowance. He has the last laugh when he secures a picking job from Adam. But there is chaos at the pickers' introductory drinks when a fight kicks off after local lads gatecrash the event.*

Posting to join the thread, anyone suspicious about Justin's new secretary, will he run off with her?

Not a chance. It's Anthea!

Oooh! Busy week and missed the RT till now. Thanks, Gump! That bit about Tom sounds very good.

Ooh this week sounds GOOD!
