Pip was born 1993, and I assume Toby is about 3 years older. Rex is older than him.

80sWaistcoat · 30/12/2016 08:37

And how much longer can Toby put off pip coming to Brighton with him...?

A fairbrother archer genetic link would be totally ludicrous

Jill just doesn't like him because she thinks he's a wrong in and just like his father.

So did Miranda overhear Kaz's comment or did she just know because of their on-stage chemistry?

ppeatfruit · 30/12/2016 09:51

That was a good guess Grin. My money goes on Tobee's 'bunburying" Pip is getting far too heavy for him. Playing the goose for him, silly cow!!!!

redshoeblueshoe · 30/12/2016 11:20

I think it was supposed to be the on stage chemistry. Miranda has previously said Lil was too old for Justin, so we knew he had form.

Gruach · 30/12/2016 19:11

As if!

(Panto ...)

I think Ruth has a hell of a cheek...

VictoriaMcdade · 30/12/2016 19:14

Who called it in here?!

EsmesBees · 30/12/2016 19:15

Oh honestly. I know this is a soap and this is a classic soap story line, but why can't they give Kirsty a break? Through the ringer twice with Tom and now she's stuck with him for good. She had so much potential...

BoreOfWhabylon · 30/12/2016 19:16

Well, Mystic Bore, amongst others, predicted it as soon as they dtd Xmas Grin

Even the continuity announcer wasn't surprised!

Gruach · 30/12/2016 19:17

Nah Esme - she only exists as an Archer-attachment.

wineapotamus · 30/12/2016 19:19

How soon before Kirsty gets on mumsnet? *frantically scours due in June antenatal threads

Remind me - when is Tom due to perform his scholarship duties?

GypsyFl0ss · 30/12/2016 19:28

Would Lynda really write those lines for Tom n Kirsty? I find that hard to imagine.
As for Tom's acting, I know he's a son of an acting dynasty but fuck me he's a bit crap.

YY Francis, fRoof is such a hypocrite!

Gypsy maybe Tomactor was acting bad-acting, him being such a thesp and all.

GypsyFl0ss · 30/12/2016 19:35

Me too! I loved oldTom as I've said many times before Grin

LeninaCrowne · 30/12/2016 19:38

If Henry was "the baby cheesus", what nickname will Kirsty's baby have?

Also does anyone think that Jill should move back in with Lizzie at Lower Loxley, or even move in with Kenton and Jolene at the bull? It would mean that the Brookfield clan would soon get scurvy after a diet of nothing but pizza or chicken nuggets and chips, and there would be no-one to notice or even talk to Ben, but why stay where she is clearly unwanted!

LeninaCrowne · 30/12/2016 19:39

...why not bring back true Pip as well as true Tom.
