The Archers - What’s your poison? Alice is legless, the fish are lifeless and Pip is clueless (Discussion #85)

[DadDadDad]

Even if you don't have a leg(?), a life or a clue, Welcome to the first ever 85th Archers thread!

Wild speculation and sensible questions always welcome - especially any newcomers.

A little game for the weekend, inspired by Timetogetup0630 and Gruach on the last thread:

Invent an explanation for how your username was the inspiration for an Archers storyline, character, etc - be creative!

My username is telling the story of Toby, Adam and Ian, although it probably needs some punctuation: Dad! Dad/Dad?

dairyfarmerswife - bit too easy for you, but as professional country folk maybe you could judge the winner?

Credit to MrsGrindah for the clever thread title

Or depress her...

My God - did Nic run over Matt?

This is not something a person with health anxiety should listen to, I'll be convinced I've got sepsis every time I get a paper cut now

I don't like this sl

Actually I don’t think I’ll make a good psychic

Blimey - well, that’s a public information message for us all...

Do sad...

But if I’m ever knocking at deaths door I think I’d quite like Joe to hold my hand

I don’t fancy a few years of grieving Will - I can’t imagine it will improve his outlook on life...

blimey! I wasn't expecting that!

Noooooo.

Not only have the killed off one of the nicest people in the village, I think they've just made her the hit and run driver that killed Matt.

How could they?

Blimey, didn’t see that coming. I really thought she‘d recover. At least the BCC didn’t warn us this time. cf Nigel‘s demise - they are listening..

I think the SW were mean making Nic nasty to Emma before killing her off.

That was very smartly done - no warning leaving us as shocked as the...er...actors... I mean family....

Wait did she confess to running Matt over?! I missed that.

I’m afraid I can’t stand Nic, and I can’t abide Will. So feel a bit meh about it.

However, really good to get info about sepia out there.

Bastards!

Why couldn't it have been Pip?

Wonder if she has confessed to Joe that she mowed down Matt?

Very well acted. Made me cry, even though predicted it yonks back.

With any luck Will will be rendered mute through grief.

Well, poor Nic, I liked her. Will is going to an interesting character to watch as he deals with this. He is such an unpleasant person.
I wonder how this will work out.

Well I don’t know what to say..

Will will find a way to blame Ed and Emmur

Nic was so controlled by her nasty narrow minded husband. I wish she’d had a chance to flourish, like when she organised the crb service and supported Emma in the election.

We didn't hear her confess.

She said something about being bad or feeling guilty or something.
Then said it to Joe inaudibly to us.
He reacted shocked and said she must be confused.
Then the alarm went.

Well written and acted but so sad. Was it really necessary? The poor children.
I know I'm being silly, it's a drama. Such things, tragically, happen in real life but I still feel shocked.
The repercussions will go far and wide and affect relationships in the Grundy family and in TA for years.
