Spoilers thread for The Archers. Please keep all spoiler-related discussion in this thread and do not spill the beans on the main Archers Thread (hence the zipped mouth on the emoji!).

Current main Archers thread here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/radio_addicts/4632741-archers-thread-139-whos-the-daddy-no-ceremonial-required-to-join-us-discuss-the-archers-here The main thread tends to last a few weeks. The spoiler thread runs for well over a year, but I strongly suspect it gets read about as much as the main thread.

He seems pleasant enough when I've seen him and I think he's worked hard to get where he is.

Yep, me too.

Captain Thank you so much for answering my pathetic plea! I sort guessed it was her heart, I must have missed the ep. with anyone discussing it. (I haven't got RIGHT back into it)! My dm recently died and the scenes with Jenny's stuff got right to me. But she was 94 so it was expected, still a shock though.

Rylan presents the add on daily programme It Takes 2 of Strictly Come dancing he is a bit of a lightweight (intellectually and literally! but quite sweet sometimes). If you can get someone famous to open your fete, it's anyone! Of course TA is not exactly ANY fete, of course, as we spoilers know it's not a REAL fete! (hush my mouth)!

I agree. I've mostly seen him on It Takes Two (the Strictly spin-off), where he does a perfectly competent job.

I fear however that we may be treated to Paul going over the top to out-gay him.

Any signs of when Rob will turn up in the cast lists? At the end of today's episode I could practically hear him twirling his moustaches and laughing evilly in the wings.

Novum Noooooooo not the return of <whispers> Rob ,well that's done it, my short stay on here and shorter listen to TA. is over. I can't stand "drama" and fictional misery when there's too much in the real world. I have to look after my mental health.

Oh yes, Paul and Rylan, that'll be fun!

I'm doing really well in avoiding the main thread. I think I might have had run-ins with cassia twenty too.
Happy Easter!

I am itching to say how much I dislike Geowurge and comment on the possibility of Rob turning up in Ambridge, and that the sudden appearance of Pat's gun wasn't unremarkable, but lurking suits me better right now.

The one I'd marry would be Leonard, then I could have Egg as a DSS.

Pat's gun ???

Chekhov's gun.

Indeed

Ooh we haven't got the next lot of spoilers!

I've somehow managed to get about a fortnight behind (and really haven't figured out what is happening re Rob).

I downloaded an emergency audiobook for my long distance train journey home today, grabbing the first thing that looked available while I still had a phone signal. To my surprise it is narrated by "Helen". She's rather good.

So if Rob does return and forces Helen to flee, I really wouldn't mind it if Louiza chose to focus on audiobooks.

I don't think any of us have figured out what's happening with Rob!

Hope Asking is OK. In her absence, I've rounded up the spoiler info, blatantly copying from Mustardland, as I have the link saved.

No sign of Jess, I see!

This ML comment made me laugh - I wonder how shocking Pat's admission will be on Friday. (Rob came by and I gave him Jack but on condition he took Henry too)

RT 8 -14 April 2023
Easter is supposedly a time of hope and renewal, but the message doesn't seem to have reached Ambridge. George and Brad are feeling the fallout from George's 18th birthday party. They thought they got away with what they did but it's had a huge impact on someone else and it looks as if Easter will be a day of reckoning. Another character feels the brunt of an event on Good Friday, which leads to a betrayal on Sunday. Oh for a happy day!

As commented there, this Daily Mail preview doesn't seem to match this week's spoilers but here it is anyway:

Daily Mail Weekend Magazine Archers Update April 8th 2023
The odd alliance between the so called best men Ed and Jim meets its first big challenge. The pair search far and wide for the perfect venue for Jazzer's stag night, but Jim's idea of a good time is very different from Ed's. While they go on their quest. Adam appears to have made a breakthrough in his search for the wandering cowman Paddy Redmond. Will he be ready for what he finds out about his biological father? Other blasts from the past howl through Ambridge this week as Tracy has an unexpected confrontation, the Lower Loxley painting debate rages on, and one resident goes far too far, causing old memories to come, unwelcome, to the surface.

Looking further ahead:

16.4 There’s panic at Bridge Farm, and tension rises for Jim.
17.4 Ian tries to offer some advice, and Jazzer makes a new friend.
18.4 There’s a shock for Adam, and Ben has a brainwave.
19.4 Freddie tries to explain his actions, and Adam searches for a silver lining.
20.4 Tracy faces a ghost from the past, and Pat is in a reflective mood.
21.4 Lee takes a step too far and Chelsea is on the defence.

Is Den Tracy's ex? Erin may perhaps be connected to Paddy Redmond.

23.4 The problems mount for Harrison and Susan has reservations
24.4 Stella struggles with a dilemma, and Lynda finds a formidable foe.
25.4 Chelsea has her guard up and Lilian reveals some interesting Coronation plans
26.4 Jolene attempts to keep order and Freddie is on a mission

Still no sign of Rob in the cast list, I see, for what's that worth, but they'll probably keep him out for the surprise factor, if he ever does re-appear.

Oh dear - d’you think they’re saving Rob for Coronation weekend?

Thanks for spoilers!

27.4 Kenton hatches a plan ... four words that strike dread into every listener's heart.

Thanks @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g . Hope @AskingQuestionsAllTheTime is OK.

Den is Tracy's ex. Erin will be one of Adam's half-sisters.

"14.3 Pat makes a shocking admission"

I hope she's already deaded Rob (properly this time) and fed him to Neil's pigs. Now that really would be funny.

I wonder if Adam will turn out to be related to some other villagers unexpectedly - any likely candidates for mysteriously fathered locals a similar age?

Maybe Rylan has landed a major part in Ambridge!

I am fine, just unavoidably elsewhere for a few days. Thanks for covering for my dereliction of duty, Gaspode!

Phew! Good to hear all is well.

Good to hear you're OK, Ask

Maybe Knob will kidnap Sarin and Novochok.

Ben confirms Rylan's been in
