🤐 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!).

The spoiler thread runs for well over a year, but I strongly suspect it gets read about as much as the main thread.

George the angry incel with gun access . What could possibly go wrong

Oh, let's not be negative. What could go right?

Is the Hannah thing NEXT Friday then?

I think that as predicted, Emma had a go at Hannah on Tuesday; then on 27th, next Thursday, "There’s a shock for Hannah".

Hey, maybe Will tells her that he needs her room in no 1 The Green for a member of the family and she will have to vacate it, because he has decided to throw George out to sink or swim by himself. That'd be good. Or maybe he just tells her George is moving in there, and she decides for herself that rather than have anything to do with his vile brat she'll move to the Berrow accommodation that has been sitting there unused for years, ever since the place was Cowditz and Raf slept there.

This week seems actually to be a little interesting:

BBC One Liners
23 Jul Frustration builds for Henry, and Brad has a confession to make.
24 Jul Emotions run high for Mia, while Ed struggles to find a solution.
25 Jul Will finds himself with a dilemma, and Pip is in need of some advice.
26 Jul George makes a controversial suggestion, and there’s debate at Bridge Farm.
27 Jul There’s a shock for Hannah, and Eddie turns the screw.
28 Jul One villager has the rug pulled from under them, and tempers flare at Home Farm.

Radio Times Ambridge Diary 23rd – 28th July 2023
Uh oh, there's a Rob alert this week. The tricksy Titchener raises his head again, but no one's sure who – or what – he has in his sights.
Meanwhile, Helen and Lee are failing to agree, leaving Henry increasingly out of the loop.
At Bridge Farm, someone is offered an unusual opportunity, which could lead to problems in the future.
The Grundys are struggling to cope and a controversial suggestion puts another Ambridge resident in the firing line

Daily Mail Weekend Archers Update 23rd – 28th July 2023
While Helen and Lee struggle to see eye to eye, George looks to take Helen's troubled son Henry under his wing but things don't go smoothly. Mia and Brad's budding young romance faces a hurdle and a disruptive Rob Titchener reappears.

Poor Henry! As if he didn't have enough trouble in his young life already, without George.

Does Rob actually appear in Ambridge, or is that hyperbole? Because if he does, we find out whether the Non Mol has been rendered obsolete by Helen's idiot behaviour, or renewed as it would surely need to have been by now.

Good grief - George moving on to spread his evil influence to Henry? That’s not good.

Your suggestion of George replacing Hannah at No 1 The Green sounds excellent, @AskingQuestionsAllTheTime!

Alternatively he’s surely not proposing to move into Bridge Farm?

Many thanks, Asking! Given how long it's been since we heard from Johnnie, and the oddity of Johnnie taking a long holiday at one of the busiest times of the year on a farm, I wonder if it's just possible that we're about to learn that he's off somewhere else. That would leave Hannah as sole tenant in Will's rental property, which might perhaps make Will think of making changes.

Oh yes - someone mentioned recently that Johnny was ‘still away’, didn’t they?

Where has he gone? He seems to be the only person in Ambridge who goes on regular Summer holidays with ‘mates’. But I’m not sure I recall having heard him in the past year …

Some sort of work exchange? Canada, maybe …

Didn't he go on holiday to wherever DeeJay Freddie PeePee was going? That was weeks ago, though. There seemed to be some confusion because at one point it was Ibiza and then it was Tenerife, which Freddie seemed to think was right next door in the Mediterranean. So they're probably in Tenby.

I think Freddie said he was going to the Med somewhere, and Harrison was the one who later said he'd love to be able just to jet off to Tenerife and be a DJ.

Thanks Asking. Looks like an interesting week.
I think Pip will be seeking advice on her 'friendship' with Stella.
Not sure what the tempers flaring at Home Farm will be about.

Are Helen and Lee disagreeing about Jack and Henry seeing Rob?

WhoppingBigBackside
I think Pip will be seeking advice on her 'friendship' with Stella.

Hmmm. It says she needs it, but does that mean she actively seeks it? That seems somehow unlike knowitall Pip...

You have a valid point, Asking.

Does Hannah have a tenancy? If so presumably Will can't just decide to wish another housemate onto her?

I think Hannah has the tenancy of one room, not the right to hold another room empty.

Unless she is paying for all three rooms, does Will not have the right to let the other two? One standing empty represents a loss of income from Will's investment, after all.

If Will, knowing what he knows about George, shoves him in with Hannah then quite frankly he wants shooting.

Hannah and Johnny probably rent the house between them, not by bedroom, so an empty bedroom would mean they both pay more rent.
I think it was mentioned on air.

So (depending on the lease) all Will can do is put up the rent by enough to force them to find a third person? Or, of course, move out ... leaving Wiwyum rentless and (very soon) with a filthy, utterly unmarketable property.

He surely isn't that stupid? Oh, hang on, sorry ...

No indeed, Will isn't the stupid one in that family.

Hey, am I good or what?

Well, all right, at the very least it is what George is suggesting. He's clearly decided that sharing a house with his "weak" father would mean he can get his own way all the time. And Will is likely to be suckered into it because he wants to build a better relationship with George.

Hannah seems to have signed a rent agreement in late May 2018, so it might just be that it won't be all that easy to chuck her out with no notice; and evicting Johnny while he is on holiday would be a nasty trick.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime ,the villager in "One villager has the rug pulled from under them" is going to be The Thin Controller, isn't it?
