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...

TOTAL TV GUIDE 2 - 8 JULY 2016

Pat complains Rob is muscling in on their time with Henry.

When Rob turns up unannounced to discuss arrangements, she's left speechless.

Helen confides further in Kaz about Henry's birth.

Relationships are centre stage at Glebe Cottage where Anna reveals to Carol what led to her messy break up.

Jill fears Pip is wasting too much time on Toby Fairbrother, but she's keen to improve his pasturised eggs film and advises a more authentic soundtrack.

Lillian's in her element at the Borchester Food and Drink Awards - but she has to think on her feet when Miranda arrives.

Spoilers:

Fri 01 Jul Eddie makes his move, and Helen cannot be cheered.

Sun 03 Jul Pat and Tony have to change their plans, and Anna needs to make herself scarce.
Mon 04 Jul Carol treats her daughter, and Pip shows she will not be conned.
Tue 05 Jul Kenton gets some shocking news, and Lilian has a birthday offer.
Wed 06 Jul Helen and Kaz find common ground, and Rob lays it on the line.
Thu 07 Jul Pip makes a suggestion, and Alistair blames himself.
Fri 08 Jul Anna gives Helen another option, and Lilian is in her element.

Sun 10 Jul Toby finds himself in a tight spot, and Rob's patience is tested.
Mon 11 Jul Rex is not in the mood to celebrate, and Ursula strikes a deal.
Tues 12 Jul Josh loses his rag, and Adam and Brian have a new purchase to admire.
Wed 13 Jul It is feeling brighter at Bridge Farm, and it is time to decide the theme of the fete.
Thurs 14 Jul Alistair needs Fallon's help, and Carol shares her view of Rob.
Fri 15 Jul Pip spots an opportunity, and Henry must do his duty.

I think you're right - the Grim Reaper has been detained elsewhere. Looking more and more like cricket stuff. Bit worried about Henry having to do his duty.

It would be nice if Carol sharing her view of Rob is the start of people generally sharing their more unpleasant experiences of him.

Thanks Gaspode

Hoping that Carol 's slap up meal is at Grey Gables. Anna could meet Ian. Carol could nudge him into giving Anna some feedback on Rob.

Ooooooh, and while they're there, they could tell Cathy what's been happening to her best friend. She will be so grateful that someone's finally told her - now she can go round to Bridge Farm and be supportive.

Kathy is hiding in a GG laundry cupboard - outraged that Pat should place her in such a stressful position when her own life has already beef so hard. What with Jolene stealing two men from her. And Jamie; when she said she hoped he'd grow up to be a surgeon that wasn't exactly ... Pat should understand - being manager of GG is such a responsibility. She can't just drop everything at a moment's notice.

been not beef.

Incoming!

Tue 19 Jul David is in trouble, and is Pip avoiding Rex ?
Wed 20 Jul Lynda and Fallon go head to head, and Tom feels torn.
Thu 21 Jul Brian pulls some strings, and Toby changes his tune.
Fri 22 Jul Anna needs more information, and Jill voices her concern.

Radio Times 9-15 July

Ursula has news for Henry and Rob: Grandpa Bruce is coming to visit. All of which should prove to be very interesting, seeing as we all have the sneaking suspicion that Rob learnt his manipulative tricks from his dear old dad.

Back at Bridge Farm, Pat is hoping Henry could spend more than one day a week with them. Yeah, like Rob is going to agree to that!

Toby is told to pull his weight if Upper Class Eggs is to be a success, but Rex feels his brother is going to be even less reliable now that he's met a new woman.

Finally Lynda assembles her crack team of fête organisers, but soon there's a mutiny in the ranks when it comes to choosing a theme for this year's event.

Joanna Toye writes.
Still no sign of Shula but Alistair is in the cast.
Bruce is listed but no Helen this week.

Oh gosh. The brief glimpse we've had of Bruce was pretty grim. Will need to brace myself for next week. Thanks, Gumpendorf!

"Henry must do his duty" - 'Now, Henry, it's very important that you tell the lady about the time Mummy tried to burn you in the bath, do you understand?' ^Yeth Daddeeee"

Grandpa Bruce might re-introduce the boarding school idea...

My new theories: 1) Shula is taken seriously ill - heart attack or similar - and endures an enforced stay in hospital. That would explain Kenton being the designated recipient of the news; Alistair blaming himself and Alistair needing Fallon's help for a catered celebration when Shula comes home. 2) Shula announces that she is divorcing Alistair, makes him leave and he has to go and stay at the Bull - again Kenton gets the news first, Alistair blames himself and then asks Fallon for help in sweet talking his STBXW.

Is there any possibility that either of these stories could be executed without a weeping and remorseful female legal practitioner?

Dang ...

I liked my stories better.

Sadly, the mundane answers appear to be:

1. Kenton is fed a pack of lies by Jolene and Wayne for utterly nonsensical reasons. With any luck that is the end of that damp squib of a storyline.
2. Alistair has called an EGM of the cricket club for Thursday. Presumably he will offer to resign, possibly on grounds of the stress of having to speak for the first time in many months.

With any luck Anna's "another option" will be a lawyer who isn't going to crumble away at the prospect of a moderately difficult hearing; though they'd never endow Helen with the sense to agree.

Rob has just, presumably, spent a fortune (or Ursula and Bruce have) on a lawyer to keep Henry out of Pat and Tony's hands. Why would she think he'd roll over and give them more time only a week later, FFS?

They really are playing fast and loose with Lynda. First the hangover, and now we're meant to believe that the fete theme hasn't been decided!!!

Judy I fear you might be right about Helen and her options. Harrison facing a new challenge could be interesting. But probably won't be, he's probably entering some sporting challenge or other

Oh no Mrs Shaappey The 'no theme for the fete' is an old old old SL .

I believe that Lynda had a hangover, people who forget they're 'getting on' often get poleaxed by a quantity of alcohol that they wouldn't 've noticed before.

nah, will be more bunting going missing. There is now a bunting crime spree.

What's wrong with a summer fete themed fete?

Yes what's wrong with that? I'll answer Since bunting gate and SOC a normal traditional fete is too 'boring' for the young producers IMO.

If Anna says 'I might not be the best person to represent you as I'm just a poor emotional lady and it brings back Haunting Memories' I suspect Helen will see this as further proof that her case is unwinnable.

TOTAL TV GUIDE 9 - 15 JULY 2016

Tony is uneasy dropping Henry back at Blossom Hill Cottage, his first trip there since the stabbing.

Pat hopes that their grandson will spend more time with them during the summer break. How will Rob react?

Rex turns 29 but there's not much to celebrate at Hollowtree.

Toby fails to turn up for the early shift, leaving his brother to cover.

Josh reads Toby the riot act.

Bert tries to lift the birthday boy's spirits with a poem and Pip greets him at the Bull with a present.

Lynda is planning the summer fete - but her proposed theme sparks a mutiny among the organisers.
**
Please, oh please, let Pip's present not be a positive pregnancy test.

Gaspode What are you like? [grin ] Rex and Pip haven't DTD have they? It would be Mathew who might get such a present, if their 'soap' style contraceptive had failed.
