🤐 The Archers spoilers thread #7: Can't wait for 7.02pm? Join us here!

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.

Something like that, Gonners.

I am still looking for the common sense. Will Trusty Krusty go with Helen?
Will Rob order the home made custard as they discuss Gideon's custardy.
Does Rob still have PR for Henwee?

Helen, in the cafe, with a cake fork? Hence waiter and doctor required?

Unless Rob now needs to travel with his own personal medic.

Lee's going to be up the Polluted Am without a paddle.

I 'enjoyed' tonight's episode, even if it was a bit dramatic.

@WhoppingBigBackside Lee's going to be up the Polluted Am without a paddle.

Is it very wrong to say oh, I do hope so? At least it might be mildly interesting - a word that I have never associated with Lee.

I quite like Lee. He seems mild and inoffensive.
Rob faked the seizure IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if Helen went back to him.
I think Fallon and Harrison's marriage will deteriorate as Tracy and Jazzer get married.
I've just found out that I was born in the same place as a minor TA actor.

Asking still not back? Hope all is well.

(That's a really short cast list, isn't it? Could they be saving up for the following week?)

Thanks Gasp. I hope @AskingQuestionsAllTheTime is ok.

The cast list is short but they might not be mentioning everyone.
Are the concerns about Fallon or is she having concerns about someone or something? I read it as the former. Will she have been taken as a hostage by an unmentioned cast member lurking around Fridge Farm? More likely to be something to do with Lynda Snell's committee.

I hope Tracy and Jazzer's wedding goes OK. They deserve some happiness.

Sorry: I am fine, just v.v.v. busy with Stuff and forgot about the spoilers.

I noted that Rob was not in the cast list for last week, so I have added him to my own copy but it is a bit late for here.

Glad you are OK Asking.

Good to hear, Asking! Yes, notable absence of Timothy Watson from all cast lists.

I think we had an inkling that his name was not included. They have done that before, and they've probably done it again.

I don't think we'll hear from Rob for a month or so now, he's done quite enough to set various things in motion.

Is the bunting thief going to confess?!

Thanks @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g and welcome back @AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

I liked hearing Henry. Strange that posters on the main thread are saying he sounds northern.

Who is Lena Manzour?

Isn't the worry about Fallon about her worrying about Harrison giving up his proper roll as bacon bringer?

I know! I live in the mid Wales borders so hear a lot of West Midlands accents and he sounded very middle class west mids to me.

Maybe Jazzer’s new friend?

More likely Stella's new friend, surely?

I have done an all-spoilers round-up as I generally do, in spite of some of it already having appeared; I find it quite convenient to have everything for juts one week all in the same place for reference.

Radio Times Ambridge Diary 25th – 30th June 2023
Emotions are running high this week. Naturally at Beechwood, as Helen is on high alert and Lee prepares to enter the lion's den, but also at the charging station meeting as Justin and Jim lock horns and Fallon worries about the future of the Tea Room. Lynda's emotions will also be put to the test if she hears of Eddie's plans for the fete. As he's found an ally in Mia, his scheme is gathering pace.

Daily Mail Weekend Magazine Archers Update 25th – 30th June 2023
Justin and Jim prepare to go head to head as the meeting about the charging station arrives.
Meanwhile Helen looks to show a new resolve,and Eddie continues with his cunning plan to take control of the Summer Fete.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

I wish I could think of a single reason for Eddie to want to spend a lot of effort on the fête committee; I can't believe that any profit he may make from any scam there would be worth it.

Pip Swallow is a new name as director.

Thanks Asking. The knitted ferrets are still intriguing me.

Thanks Asking. So cute!

Many thanks, Asking, for both updates and ferret picture! I can't knit, unfortunately, or I'd have a crack at one of those. I bet real life ferrets aren't cute, but that is.

Hmm? I'm not sure that one I'd knitted would look like that.
I can't crochet. I need a Clarrieluv

I have a collection of munkehs munkys monkeys
