Nic got a nick while sorting through the bits she's selling.

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/02/2018 19:53

Ah Grin. They won't kill her though, I feel sure.

What's all this about rusty nails/sepsis/tetanus though?

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/02/2018 19:54

Oooh crossed posts! Missed that!

You are right - incoming sepsis story

Gruach · 18/02/2018 19:59

Oh dear. I wouldn’t mind this being a red herring. (But otoh I can’t quite see the point of the spurious sacking ...)

Will be annoyed if Will’s decision is to offload Jake and Mia onto their bio-father or grandparents. (It’s just the sort of thing the SWs would do to avoid effortful storytelling going forward.)

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/02/2018 20:05

Just LAed - yup, scratched wrist Sunday, Grundy vigil by Friday and a Dr in the cast list... dun dun DUNNNNN!!!

On a separate topic - Kate coming back must be so that she can appoint Kirsty someone as Holistic Yurt Manager

MiddleClassProblem · 18/02/2018 23:14

Maybe Nic gets sick etc but Joe nurses her and they fall in love and that’s when Will gets angry Grin

Radio Times
25 Feb to 2 March

Following the devastating events of last week, Jennifer has a dilemma on her hands: should she tell the truth and risk landing a loved one in serious trouble or keep quiet? Brian, meanwhile, relays his worries to Justin who pledges his support at the BL board - but will his loyalty come at a price?

Pip comes to a decision about the new milking parlour, but will it be what David and Ruth want to hear? Tony gives Joe the benefit of his experience, but will it put his mind at rest?

Elsewhere, Rex is presented with a business opportunity, while Clarrie struggles to keep the peace. And Roy is irritated when he learns what’s off the menu, while Lexi focuses on the needs of Adam and Ian.

**
Joe, Eddie, Clarrie, Ed, Emma and Will in cast list but no Nic.
Ominously, Alan is in the cast this week too. Confused

Thank you!

Unusually, I hesitated before reading the RT spoiler. Very glad they haven’t actually spoilt my anticipation.

Gumpendorf · 20/02/2018 18:55

And a Digiguide update. Make of it what you will Grin
Btw, from 25th Feb Alison Hindall is back as editor.

Thanks Gump

Looks like it's curtains for Alistair and Smugula then.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/02/2018 19:39

Oh cripes! Shula arrested for Matt's accident? Thanks, Gump!

Gruach · 20/02/2018 20:05

Wouldn’t that be “Alistair and Shula’s world collapses”?

I’m guessing that after being rebuffed by Philip Shula will tell Aistair that their marriage is over.

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/02/2018 17:38

Or Philip will tell Alistair that his wife has turned into a sex-crazed stalker

TheMadGardener · 21/02/2018 18:12

I'm a bit worried now that Nic is going to die... So many Will storylines coming up...

Gruach · 21/02/2018 18:18

I think we’re all worried about that MadG. Probably going to need lots of BrewandCake by the end of the week.

Gruach · 21/02/2018 19:09

Another day in bed?

God - poor thing ...

VanillaSugar · 21/02/2018 19:19

Thank goodness for this thread! I'm a very irregular listener. What happened to Nolly? The last I heard she'd ODd at the party.

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/02/2018 19:30

Kate took Nolly to hospital and they reached a rapprochement. Kate realised she'd been a hopeless mother and vowed to do better. They then went off to SA together.

Looking very bad for Nic. Joe will blame himself because she got the cut from his vase.

VanillaSugar · 21/02/2018 19:36

Thank you!

Gruach · 21/02/2018 20:54

All the same, Will as a widower needing a third wife could perk things up somewhat. If he keeps all the children.

BikingBeatrix · 21/02/2018 23:52

Does anyone know the ages of Mia and Jake now? They must be over 10 by now, maybe young teens. I‘d hate to be Poppybeing brought up alone by Cheerful Will.

And Shula? If her car was involved in the hit n run, wouldn‘t it have visible damage that Al would notice? Or they‘d have to at least have a convo about why Shula‘s car was in the garage. I know A is always busy but surely not that busy.

Gruach · 22/02/2018 05:20

Heavens - I still think of Jake and Mia as little children! The BBC site doesn’t seem to have an opinion on their ages ... Someone must know.

And now having browsed the site I’m not sure about Nic’s demise. There’s nothing indicating a big story coming up. No trailers either side of the Today programme. No special articles about the actress, Becky Wright. Does she have a TV life? A part in the next Marvel?

But perhaps one of the ninety seven Editors they’ve had in the past six months decided they’d like to SATTC by stealth?

ADarkandStormyKnight · 22/02/2018 07:18

Poppy is 4. Fairly sure J & M were at school by the time she arrived.

Gruach · 22/02/2018 08:04

Straining to recall ... Didn’t we have a “Mia’s first day at school” with Will telling her what a big girl she was?

Bekabeech · 22/02/2018 11:20

It's all down to how Hugh Canoe wants to go out - kill off a character or create a lot of drama for the future.
