25 Apr Will thinks he's solved a problem and Freddie struggles to find his place.
26 Apr Tom's world starts to crumble and Jim's plan backfires.

Lily's past? The only possibility I can think of is the Manchester landlord coming after her for arrears.

Motoko · 20/04/2019 12:26

That's the only thing I can think of too. Maybe she gets a court summons for rent arrears, although I'd have thought CMR would also be on the tenancy agreement. Although, saying that, he probably would make sure he has no liability, the sponging cocklodger.

GabrielleNelson · 21/04/2019 07:35

Thanks, ACIS! Could it be Russ's wife turning up? I wonder if the secret at Grange Farm is to do with the theft that was put down to Alf Grundy but was almost certainly George.

Jazzer's interesting news - please let it be Rex saying he's going to buy Tom's pigs and wants Jazzer to work with him full-time.

CaptainMyCaptain · 21/04/2019 08:43

I hope Jazzer inherits some money and buys the pigs himself.

How will Tom's world start to crumble?
Will the old mystery be the missing bunting?

Acis · 21/04/2019 13:48

I fear the thing about Tom's world can only be Gnasher buggering off or similar, probably to go back to Trevor. I almost feel sorry for him.

MikeUniformMike · 21/04/2019 14:25

I don't.

LassOfFyvie · 22/04/2019 19:13

Nor me.

Lily doesn't have a past. It must be rental debts.

daffodilbrain · 22/04/2019 21:35

Or russ' ex wife!

StillDumDeDumming · 24/04/2019 10:38

Can only be Russ’ ex or the rent. The ex would be a C and C with Gnasher and Tom?

If Gnasher was leaving I think the SWs would’ve had Tom in the big posh place rather than the flat. Or maybe he’ll do that and take some other decisions around the business that he can’t get out of to try to hang onto her and ultimately fail? A longer SL.

StillDumDeDumming · 24/04/2019 10:39

Oooo it’s mystery night! Place your bets!

BeaLola · 24/04/2019 18:42

re Tom & Natasha - Q - what do we know about her & Trev ? I must have missed the explanation somewhere ?...…

Anyhow: outlandish theory - she knows Rob & has married Tom to get back at his family, less outlandish - she dumps Tom for Trev & maybe plausible during "afternoon tea with Peggy" she lets slip that she doesn't ever want children - causing anxst for Tom & Pat etc etc ?

re the mystery - is it about who knocked over Tiger (eg Nic)

Susan's shock - discovering what Ed is doing ?

Motoko · 24/04/2019 21:43

RIP Ted Kelsey. Sad I'm going to miss Joe. He still has some scenes recorded a few weeks ago apparently.

The mystery is the bunting.

Trevor and Natasha were living together when she first met Tom. They split up because they'd drifted apart, but as he's back on the scene after splitting up with his new girlfriend, it wouldn't surprise me if he and Natasha get back together. Although, maybe the SW have just brought him back to cause more tension in T&N's marriage.

thislido · 24/04/2019 22:21

Didn’t we hear previously that he wanted children and Natasha didn’t?

MollyButton · 26/04/2019 12:32

Do we have any cast lists for this week? I'm wondering if Hannah is pregnant?

Radio Times 27 April - 3 May 2019

Is there a thief in Ambridge? A shocked Clarrie certainly thinks so when she discovers some donations to the Lent fund in Nic's name have gone missing. As Susan turns detective, she thinks she has unmasked the light-fingered villager, but is she barking up the wrong tree?

Over at Lower Loxley, Freddie has some pep put into his step thanks to efforts made by a surprising source. With a new zest for life, Freddie pitches his plan, but is interrupted by an unexpected visitor from Lily's past. Will Elizabeth be mentally strong enough to cope when a startling truth is revealed?

Tom's strange behaviour leads to Helen asking questions. And a job with Tim leaves Ed feeling out of his depth.

Cast: Kenton, Jolene, Helen, Tom, Susan, Chris, Clarrie, Will, Mia, Ed, Shula, Tracy, Alistair, Jim, Jazzer, Elizabeth, Freddie, Lily, Fallon, Lynda, Russ, Tim, Leonard, Bailiff

Motoko · 26/04/2019 19:38

Is Lily's unexpected visitor Russ' ex wife? And will the startling truth be when Lizzie realises Lily was the other woman?

thislido · 26/04/2019 21:01

Notice the bailiff in the case list Grin

thislido · 26/04/2019 21:03

Cast

Motoko · 26/04/2019 21:49

Ah yes. I had been wondering if their debts would catch up with them, from Manchester.

InvisibleLlamaBurningCamel · 26/04/2019 22:15

Aha - bailiff!

GeorgeTheBleeder · 26/04/2019 22:21

Oh wow!

Elizabeth will not be pleased.

Thanks lido!

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 29/04/2019 16:20

Is it against the rules to put in the "spoiler one-liners" from the BBC website more than a week in advance? Because I have got them up to 17th May if that is welcome.

GabrielleNelson · 29/04/2019 17:03

Yes please, Asking!

daffodilbrain · 29/04/2019 18:22

Ha! Russ hasn't been paying any bills!!! LL in dire straights.... oh I think that's the next big storyline they are going to lose everything
