The Archers - Freddie is getting OUT: will Russ hop it? Helen is falling DOWN: is Lee still in the frame? Tom is heading UP: will Natasha be the boost his sausage needs? (Thread no. 101

[DadDadDad]

We're still here and still discussing TA (The Archers). We welcome newcomers and old hands, so if you have a question or a point of view, please dive in. No spoilers - if you've seen info on future storylines, there's a separate Radio Addicts thread for that.

I loved all the name changes on the last thread. Don't forget to change back! (If you want to).

Who's going to get Russ out of LL? Freddie? Lily? Elizabeth? Or is it Freddie who will head off?

Tom & Gnasher are paying for the app development themselves so they can run it as a separate business, charging Bridge Farm to use it. Pat was annoyed. I don’t know why Tom hasn’t used his savings or how they managed to set up a different company so quickly to run it under.

You know that bit on TA when the "agricultural adviser" is credited? Presumably so we can better imagine the likelihood/credibility of Johnneh having to put his arm up a cow's doo-dah?

They need to get a business adviser on. Big time.

Happy to start the new thread. I'll probably do it shortly as I'll be busy later.

I see R4 has filled in the backstory about Sharon, Clive and Kylie. Yes, Kylie is Susan's niece but understandably has had little contact with her after Sharon moved away when Kylie was little (and Sharon was pregnant with Johnny, as the SWs decided revealed 14+ years later).

The Horrobins are horrible on the whole. Susan has done her best to shake off her Horrobin past, which given the criminality and fecklessness most of her siblings have displayed, is understandable. Tracy has no criminal record, as far as I can recall, but most of the rest have. Keith is or was until recently in prison for something I've now forgotten - another arson at Brookfield? - it was a SL fairly recently. Don't know what's happened to Gary - was there some suggestion he had a learning disability? Bert, the father, is still alive, isn't he? Tracy and her children live with him in what must be the last remaining council house on The Green because she hopes to get the tenancy of the house after he dies. Ivy, the mother, died a few years ago.

Oh good, that means I can close the bracket on the thread title.

Nice work DDD have you been waiting all this time?

yes, I've been waiting for someone to point it out, and made a little promise to myself that I would close the thread this way if no-one did.
