Belts are being tightened at Brookfield, which prompts David to ask Kenton to repay the loan. But will David get the response he needs, or will the family be looking at a bleak 2019?

Following her change of circumstances, Jennifer is continuing to struggle. Hence Brian hatching a plan to cheer her up by throwing an impromptu birthday celebration. But with tensions rising between Adam and Alice, might the party go awry.

Meanwhile the cast of The Canterbury Tales are celebrating the end of the production with the party. Be prepared for a certain amount of jostling among the stars of the show when it comes to an award for best performer…

Thanks, Gumpendorf! Looks like the move will happen, then.

Thanks Gump!

Was Kenton paying David off gradually, I can't remember?

Troubles ahead for Kirsty and Philip? Clearing the way for her to be jealous about Natasha/get together with Rex? Not that I can recall ever hearing her interact with Rex.

Tom's new scheme?

I feel like Brenda from Bristol. 'Not anotherrrrr one!'

Perhaps what Tom and Natasha were giggling about yesterday was some sort of scheme for them to go into partnership together in business terms.

Looks like Russ's plan to get Lily back to Manchester hasn't worked, if she's in next week's cast list.

Poor Jenny with the party, the contrast between this year’s and previous parties will seem enormous.

What an odd thing to have on you. Hiraeth will be changed one day to Hannah, mark my words.

Good for Clarrie. What a sanctimonious nitwit Tom is.

Goodness! Haven't visited this thread since last year, it seems.

Thanks for continued spoilering!

Alice has picked up on news that Pryce Batman plans to develop a strawberry picking robot and is now keen to trial the technology at Home Farm. I hope the rest of the Aldridges go for it – if only to generate another “Artificial Intelligence takes over Ambridge“ storyline. The Archers does Westworld - just imagine!

Could booze be coming back to Lower Loxley? Elizabeth is obviously hoping so, as the date for the review of the alcohol license approaches – but will her dry January end up running into February?

Susan, meanwhile, spots one resident behaving in a suspicious manner and voices concerns to Emma, who believes her mum is barking up the wrong tree.

23 Jan. Elizabeth makes a shocking confession and David fears for a relative
24 Jan. Kenton puts his foot in it and Tom makes his pitch

1 Feb.

Thanks, Gump!

Thanks. I wonder who is behaving suspiciously.

Doesn't look too good for the prospective Adam'n'Ian sprog.

I wonder if Elizabeth's confession is that she never made it to the hearing of her licensing appeal? If she is getting agoraphobia surely that will be a major struggle.

Ah! I get it. Radio Carter... My money's on Lexi buggering back to Bulgaria with the baby.

Thanks Gump!

I suppose just the fact of her being pregnant would be surprising for lots of people. Although less after Alice's drunken outburst. I wonder if Alcoholic Alice will be an actual storyline at some point, or whether it will just become a persistent character trait that bubbles up every now and again.

I reckon Lexi is carrying twins. That opens an option for her to leave one baby in Ambridge and take one back to Bulgaria with her.

Surely she'd leave them both with Adam and Ian - can you imagine taking one and not the other?!

I think she only had one put back in, so fairly unlikely.

I hope Lexi is only guilt ridden because of Roy rather than because something happens.

Spoiler speculation that Elizabeth will take an (accidental?) overdose and Philip will die in the half marathon! Caveat- speculation seems to be taken from Twitter but I personally like wild theories.

That Express () column is very tongue in cheek, isn't it?

Love the way they call us 'viewers'.

I don't want Elizabeth to die. That would be a bit much for her poor children.

Lower Loxley could be the scene of an intervention after Kenton finds the place in uproar. As Elizabeth makes a shocking confession, Kenton is so concerned that he rallies Shula and David – but will they be able to get through to their troubled sister?

Tempers flare for the Aldridges when Jennifer calls an emergency partnership meeting. As one member of the clan digs their heels in, another one gives a life -changing ultimatum.

Helen‘s behaviour continues to arouse suspicion as she grows closer to Lee. Plus Ed has money on his mind as he feels that he and Emma will struggle to pay the mortgage and house deposit. But could there soon be hope on the horizon?

Shula, Elizabeth, Kenton,

Lee, Tim.

Oooo - Tim! Let’s hope Ed isn’t going to be tempted into something dodgy.
