It will probably be Lucky or Holly who gets the bullet.

Wot, LuckyTheGnome? Haven't heard him mentioned for years!

No. Lucky, Lilian's dog.

Lilian’s dog is called Ruby! (AFAIR)

She is!

Lucky was a Grundy turkey. (One of how many? I hear you all ask.)

Does anyone else think that there aren't any other 'bad men', just Timotei? So him saying he's under pressure etc is bollix and he's just a right wrongun

There's Martyn Gibson

Thursday again, oh my they come round so soon.

Radio Times Ambridge Diary July 28-Aug 2
Will is attempting to make amends after last week’s outburst, but it’s clear the nightmare is just beginning for one family. Will their desperate attempts to salvage the situation work?
Someone else under fire is Adam, who is forced to reveal some harsh home truths in order to get himself off the hook. But it seems that his words will cause even more problems for one already troubled villager.
Lynda appears to be at the mercy of Ruairi and Ben, who continue to hijack plans for the summer fête. Just wait until you hear about their latest idea for promotion.
Finally, over at Greenacres, Jim is channelling his energies into a new project, but finds himself blind-sided by a very personal request.

My thoughts:
Emma left humiliated=something to do with the house, or something she's bought/planning on buying. Credit problems, or not having the money for that coffee table she's buying from Fallon?

Jazzer's going to go to the police.

Linda's sacrifice= allowing someone else to take control, something to do with Ben and Ruari maybe?

Tracy, Emma and Ed, all to do with Ed's driving job, causing problems with the house buying? Is Harrison going to be arresting Ed? I saw he was in the cast list.

And what's happening with Neil? Looks like he's getting the sack due to something Will does.

And thanks again, Asking

Thanks, Asking!

Excellent! Haven’t heard tonight’s but Susan is conspicuously absent next week - while her husband and sister are prominent. I do hope she’s ok.

Thanks!

Next lot of spoilers:

4th August: Neil proves a calming influence and Lynda comes to the rescue.
5th August: Kate makes her feelings clear and things don’t go to plan for Kirsty.
6th August: Ed has a confession to make and Susan is desperate to make things right.
7th August: Oliver finds himself unexpectedly impressed and there’s tension at Brookfield
8th August: There’s bad news for Jazzer and Jakob gets the wrong end of the stick
9th August: Clarrie reaches the end of her tether and Eddie attempts a cover -up

And today's Daily Mail
Weekend Magazine Archers Update July 28-Aug 2
August beats down on Ambridge, stoking up trouble. Will, shamed by last week’s outburst, trudges along, weighed down with worry and, desperate to make amends, aware that another dark cloud is on the heat hazed horizon.
Adam is also feeling the emotional heat, and, finding himself under fire, let’s loose a few home truths that do little to cool things down.
Emma is also suffering, and finds herself flame-cheeked with humiliation, while Ruth boils over.
The Grundys try to keep their spirits up as they up sticks once again - heading for No 1 The Green - but will advice from Tracey make things better or worse?
Meanwhile, Lynda seethes away as Ruairi and Ben come up with yet another hot-headed scheme to spark up this year’s summer fête.

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
I am a bit puzzled: if MeanEd are not going to be able to move into the new house, where will they and their kids live when Clarrie'n'Eddie ('n'Joe) move to 1, the Green? That little house won't fit five adults and two children, to say nothing of the dog.

Lynda makes the ultimate sacrifice makes the shepherd's hut available?

Hmm. I suspect Oliver might be the one to help MeanEd out of their financial doldrums (Ed confesses and Oliver is impressed).

Thanks, Asking!

Is Emma going to humiliate herself further by asking Ruth for a loan? Or will Ruth boil over about something else? Can't remember when we last heard her or David.

Long time lurker here. IIRC it was Oliver who introduced Tim to Ed, so PP's prediction that Oliver will help them out feels plausible.

Hello, rivermum! I'd forgotten that. Makes a deus ex machina solution to this grim storyline a touch less implausible.

Thanks rivermum, and welcome!

I remember now and, with that extra bit of info, I don't think I need my 🔮 to confidently predict that Ollie will come to the rescue.

"Kate makes her feelings clear": I do hope that isn't going to be some toe-curlingly awful scene where she propositions Jakob.

Thursday, innit.
