As Frilly stress Lizzy out, did the SWs forget her heart defect? Will there be long term llama drama karma in The Archers?

I think Lily was sounding doubtful at the end. This is where I think Lizzie's spineless approach is unhelpful. If Lizzie had carefully made known a few doubts to Lily, Lily might start to join the dots and confide in her mother.

Please let the boho Manchester flat be the equivalent of Tom and Kirstie’s palatial new build - a colossal waste of money that never materialises.

Cold baked beans out of a tin from Mr Ground Coffee and Special Bread, yeah, right.
Still, he's going to have a fun time foraging for wild herbs in the forests of Manchester.

Agreed, Lass! Wake up, Lily - run, run for the hills!

What?! Helen made a joke?

I expect she's been practicing with Shula.

I can't believe Lizzy actually let Russ sleep in Freddie's room. I thought she had drawn the line at that.

T'is dreadful- presumably the spare bedroom in which Rosie Ruth was conceived has disappeared into the Ambridge sink hole.

I hope Lizzie has kept all the receipts for the massive homewares shop so she can trade it in for student essentials once Lily wakes up.

Did i hear right - that someone's filed a complaint about Russ with the college? That'll be Kenton then ....

yes!
I bet you can get a kettle, toaster and microwave in Wilcos for next to nothing

Lily presented her with a fait accompli on that. Lizzie was too dazed by the turn of events to swiftly say, 'I'm sure he'd be more comfortable in the blue room' (or whatever it is, but somewhere like LL surely has a Blue Room)

And why doesn't Lizzie just let Russ sleep in Lily's room?

Nowadays most parents would allow that - especially as they are planning to move in together.

Wilko, supermarkets, TK max type places, dunelm for a decent mattress topper. Stuff from home but maybe LLs castoffs would be too posh.

I suppose it might be quite fun if Helen and Will were having a fling just at the point when (it's got to be when, not if) Rob shows up again.

Well at least Will has a shotgun.

Kenton called the college - I think you may be right, grumiosmum

Silly question but... what subject is Lily actually going to be doing at Manchester? I don't remember any discussion over the last year about her uni plans, open days etc (ok, it's TA not MN) - just suddenly she's going to Manchester.

Well, at least now we know he only wants Lily for one thing.

Only place he’ll be foraging is her bank account ...

I may be able to forgive Kenton all his other flaws if he has done that.

All we know is that she's not doing Art as Russ didn't teach her.

Lily presented her with a fait accompli on that

But why do that to her brother? He could have had the room Pip had.

It might be Mrs Russ who's dobbed him in to the school, but it'll probably be blamed on/attributed to Kenton (depending on your POV).

I want to hear from the allegedly hysterical Mrs Russ.

Makes no sense, plot device?

I don't either.

And why has the penny only now dropped for Lily that Russ has no job to move to? What did she think he was going to do?

What did she think he was going to do?

She's somewhere between it still being a fantasy (not really believing he'd actually leave his wife until, to her shock, he left his wife) and labouring under the delusion he's a mature responsible adult.
