Sorry

Re Jazzer, how about Helen’s friend Kaz, if she were to move to the Ambridge area? She seemed nice and down to earth. I’m sorry we don’t hear from her any more.

The Archer heiress will leave the register office either as Fairbrother-Archer, or Juniper Archer, or both, tomorrow. Mark my words ...

Wonder who her godparents will be. Surely that isn’t Neil’s important favour? Would be difficult to find any since neither Pip nor Toby appear to have any friends. Poor Rex will have to be all of them. Though it would be an appropriate job for the young Hebden-Lloyd. And surely that won’t be the touching gesture towards Alistair?

Do we reckon that there will be a religious Christening, with godparents, is that Pip's thing? She's not a church goer like her Nan is she?

Maybe not - but a christening is an opportunity for conflict so I doubt the SWs would want to miss it!

I quite like the Fairbrothers now (clever of the SWs to engineer that). Their mum sounds like harder work than their dad!. Do they have a stepdad too?

Roy and Lexie were doing the deed, weren't they? ISTR Roy getting grumpy when she wasn't up for it due to the implantation.

Think Simone (?) has a bloke named Hans. Not sure whether for life or just for fun.

Oh ha ha ha Gruach

Dd you mean to post on here about my last post on the 'proper' thread ? Come on let's hear .

Erm ... ... No. I just didn’t think it was an appropriate place for a lecture on boarding school. (About which I know an immense amount ...)

Oh go on. I know a bit. I don't have time to open a thread about those 2 RC schools which won't change their abusive ways and I wonder why no one else has.

Ah, boarding schools. A classic example of the mumsnet topic where it's not enough to be right; others must also be wrong.

I haven’t said anything!

It’s been one disaster after another for Elizabeth of late, but what reaction will she get when she asks to the villagers for help? Will they come to her aid, or will she end up accepting support from someone she really shouldn’t?

The summer holidays are proving a strain for Helen – and with Henry’s behaviour becoming progressively worse, she’s soon facing another problem when a guilty Ian drops a bombshell.

With the cricket team numbers dwindling, one Ambridge resident finds herself unexpectedly recruited. Fallon, meanwhile is upset to discover the rumours circulating about Harrison and hatches a plan to save him from further strain.

Thanks Grump Nice to see that Oliver is back (even if it's temporarily). Maybe the actor is unwell. I'm off line for 2 weeks, But still listening!

Thanks, Gump! Bit worried about this bad news Ian has for Helen. Hope it doesn't involve Rob.

Thanks Gump

Who is Natasha? Russ's wife? [hopeful]

Thanks Gump.

I hope this means they are actually going to get Henry some help. It seemed entirely absent after the trial. I don’t think it was even explained to him properly that daddy had been hurting mummy.

Wondering if Elizabeth will find Lily at the results collection, and if Russ will be around. Or does everyone just go online to get results these days?

I'm glad Henry is showing some reactions to all that has happened.

There is so much bad news all round that I don't think I could cope with a returning Rob - but of course he may ...

Henry's always been a mixed up kid. Will they age his voice or are we going to be hearing about the behavioural problems of a silent character?

Good point Mootsie - though perhaps this will be his last hooray before they retire the toddler actor?

Then we won’t hear him again until he’s old enough for sex and drugs and Little White Lies ...

I am hoping for a "new" Henry. I'd been hoping that Helen and progeny had been relegated to the back of the scriptwriters' cabinet (along with Pip...little Rosie is annoying me already).
