Spoiler thread for The Archers. Please keep all spoiler-related discussion in this thread and do not spill the beans on the main Archers Thread. Last thread here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/radio_addicts/3439443-keep-it-to-yourself-the-archers-spoilers-thread-4

Eddie's his real father!!!!!!!

But he looked like Alice as a baby.
Bang goes my Debbie and Alice being full siblings theory.

Maybe Adam is his father.

Aah of course Mike lol It was Adam trying to discover his sexuality.

Was Adam around then?

I suppose he could be Tim Hathaway's.

Maybe David or Tony's the father, or Kenton.
That would make him an Archer.

I don't think either Adam or Kenton was in Ambridge at the time Ruairi was conceived: didn't Adam only come back to comfort his mother over her having discovered Brian had had an affair, and a child as a result? And Mel threw Kenton out on 7th April 2002, and he didn't get back to Ambridge until 24th, by which time Siobhán already knew she was pregnant and so did Brian and Tim and Janet and Shula and Alistair and Nigel and Elizabeth and...

Might we be barking up the wrong tree? Maybe Ruairi finds something nasty in the woodshed? (the smashed dog statue? A drunk half-sister? )

Wonder what Brian could be on the warpath over?

Oh wow! Exciting ... 🔥🌾🤦🏼‍♂️

(Doesn't seem to be a 'Fall of The House of Aldridge' emoji ...)

Thanks, Asking!

Usually when the spoilers say 'shocking' it is only something mildly surprising.

Maybe the ghost from the past is alcoholism.

I could do with some excitement of a relatively mild nature.

At least next week, we'll have Brine, JD and Hellin.

The one liners indicate that the week after this one Alice and Chris are having a pretty torrid time. I suspect either someone discovers how much Alice was drinking, or she's due a scan.

I'm getting very peed off with the Phil n' Gav, and the, lets carry on duping Kirstie, SL. Anything's better than that.

Gosh, I see what you mean, MoonJelly. I hope Asking will forgive me if I take the liberty of posting the next couple of weeks.

Mon 16/11 There's panic for Alice
Tue 17/11 Alice has a confession to make
Wed 18/11 Chris takes desperate measures
Thu 19/11 The Carters attempt to pick up the pieces
Mon 23/11 Philip turns the screw
Tue 24/11 Eddie puts his plan into action
Wed 25/11 It's an emotional day for Chris
Thu 26/11 Will has serious reservations

Cripes!

Thanks Gasp.

The Chrysalis will be dedded, mark my words.

I agree Mike

And thanks Gasp0de

That's it. The something nasty in the gin wood shed is a pile of empties from Alish's bingeing. The Roarer or Brine finds it and the extent of the boozing makes the Aldridge's realise that the poor Chrysalis is doomed.
Alice realises that the germinal is terminal.
The Carters' marriage implodes.

Interesting that the MW on TA said that Feotal Alchohol Syndrome (is that correct?) doesn't show up on the scan Moon .

Thanks Gasp

Well. That was a bit of an anti-climax Unless there's more to come?

Brian is not happy about it, I suppose...

Unless there's a bombshell in the message.

So misleading of them to tease that he would be making a shocking discovery - rather than merely receiving something that shocks him.

Hmph!

I find it terribly hard to care; this is just a replay of "Daddy" (who didn't expect to die untimely) "left eighteenth birthday presents of a most improbable nature for Freddie and Lily to have when they were eighteen."

Ha. Joe Grundy's 'legacy' wins the waste of time and anticipation award. At least the Gwen John led somewhere. (Nowhere good, but still ...)
