Hello All, isn't this lovely, new faces, new names. Feels like a proper celebration. I loved it. If only we knew what became of that bunting?

EcclesThePeacock · 07/03/2019 19:19

I could live with this name.
It's like a masked ball. And hopefully a few of the lurkers who (erroneously, IMO) think there's a clique of old posters will don their masks and join in.Smile

Hello all! Just listening to the dinner party episode. Quite nice to hear Alice and Chris standing shoulder to shoulder.

GeorgeTheBleeder · 07/03/2019 19:45

So, just as we recover from Rob's 'mirthless' laugh, we're now being terrified by Tom's new creepily demonic laugh. Heard it the first time when he announced the engagement. Proper Scary. Is Natasha administering him with some illicit substance? Or is he just in shock?

Fabulous to learn for sure tonight that she was the one who erm ... decided on the immediate merger of their two business empires.

Johnnysmilkingparlour · 07/03/2019 20:26

As usual I am a few episodes behind, so I can not join in properly. Just showing off my 100 threads Archers inspired username.

Welcome to all the lurkers. So wonderful to have new views and questions! Have you sorted out your outfits for the big wedding tomorrow?

BorcesterBlue · 07/03/2019 21:32

Well I haven't had time to go into Felpersham so I think I'll wear my best clown pants.

TumbledTussocks · 07/03/2019 21:38

I want to know more about Natasha's housemate! Has Tom ever met him? I remember Tom couldn't go to hers originally, did he ever get there?

HorseradishSnowflake · 07/03/2019 21:44

Delurked and now name changed again because BorcesterBlueballs is so much better than plain BorcesterBlue!
Really out of my comfort zone Grin
Still wearing my clown pants.

Hi!
I wondered about Natasha's housemate - could she actually be married/never split from her fiance?

The scriptwriters like 3 people in a house, as 3 people in a scene helps it flow better - you get more friction.

ScruffGin · 07/03/2019 23:01

Am awaiting the wedding with bated breath... Not heard tonight's so far, but Helen needs to get on with it and do some explaining, it isn't going to get easier!

UnspiritualHome · 07/03/2019 23:07

Although I find it a stretch of the imagination, that by now, after Helen being so flaky, he still hasn't googled her.

If Lee googles Helen Archer he's unlikely to find out about Rob as she wasn't tried in that name. No idea whether any previous murk might have hit the papers?

TheSilveryHildaOgden · 07/03/2019 23:07

Glad the dinner party went ok, though hated the patronising talk betwwen Brian and JD before and after.

UnspiritualHome · 07/03/2019 23:13

HelloYouTwo, I think showing Ed and Emma round was just an off-the-cuff tactic on Justin's part to stop Emma banging on about the path being fenced off. It was quite funny when he over-estimated the size of the house, he obviously couldn't assimilate the possibility of someone living in such a small property. And, talking of Justin, does anyone really use the term "the giddy limit" these days?

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 07/03/2019 23:26

Why was Lily so overly-prickly with Kenton?

ItsMeImKathyIveComeHomeNow · 07/03/2019 23:49

Is it only me that thinks Will and Poppy should move into Grange Farm, giving them the support they need, covering the rent and freeing up No 1 The Green for Tom and Natasha?

birdsdestiny · 08/03/2019 00:06

I will cheerfully admit that I didn't understand that episode, why was Tom being so so weird, was it supposed to convey his being swept away by emotion.

DavidDavidDavid · 08/03/2019 00:07

Unspiritual - are you kidding? all the teenagers round here use that: "another meme, fam? that's the giddy limit, man, the giddy limit..."

GeorgeTheBleeder · 08/03/2019 04:20

Cuation: photo of Will actor in link!

ItsMe Confusingly Will, Poppy and Mia don't live at No 1 The Green but at Greenwood Cottage which is tied to Will's job.

Tom is already living at No 1 The Green, with Johnny and Hannah as housemates.

But yes, Will, Poppy and Mia moving into Grange Farm would seem like a sensible option. (IIRC the possibility of this may have been mentioned here once or twice on earlier threads. And was it Clarrie who suggested it to Will? He declined.) Now the story has moved on it looks as if Will might evict his current tenants (or at least not renew their tenancy) so his parents and Joe can move to The Green.

(I'm honestly not hovering night and day with a correction pen! I accidentally left the heating on, so ...)

GeorgeTheBleeder · 08/03/2019 04:31

(And I do usually know how to spell 'caution'!)

BorsetshireBlueBalls · 08/03/2019 07:33

Sorry, Horseradish, I didn't see your post and new name. But I like your new one.

UnspiritualHome · 08/03/2019 07:43

Why was Lily so overly-prickly with Kenton?

Presumably a combination of him having shopped CallMeRuss and daring to suggest that the prodigal drug-dealer shouldn't return home?

AngelinaNeurosurgeon · 08/03/2019 08:36

If Lee Googled Helen Archer Ambridge that would probably bring the trial up

Bellaisoneluckywoman · 08/03/2019 08:42

Guilty of using term 'giddy limit' here also guilty of drooling over Johnny

Very much looking forward to tonight's episode - the joyous nuptials. Will be in car and if either child speaks there will be serious consequences.....

KateMadikane · 08/03/2019 08:46

Just popping in to say hello. Will tidy up the mess later after my yoga class.
