How is there not an Archers thread on this shiny new topic yet?

[OliviaMumsnet]

I'll just have to start one then.

Ooh sorry, Tiger and Pusscat are always great too. I hope he's not going to go down for fraud.

I hope not too because I love them nearly as much as I love Brian (completely agree re Shula, though I hate Tom more than I do Tony). OTOH, Lillian doing prison visits could be rather entertaining.

gah - dull today...Jill and bees followed by Pip and ill cows

Usha - at the hospital - does that mean we find out she is preggers/seriously ill?

Shula is passionlately in love with Alan, and can't bear the fact that he has married someone else even though she is her self married

maybe its a lust filled jealousy for usha, she is just in denial

Oh dear God no!!! Even for the Archers that would be a plot development too far.

Ooooh that Helen was such a spoilt cow just now, berating poor Tony about the flat.

I hope Fallon gets it somehow.

So when is Usha going to crack and shout at Alan for agonising so much over his "duty" to carwe for Shula ?

And when is somebody going to tell Shula to get over herself and stop being so self indulgent ?

completely agree grimma - was shouting at radio. that said am enjoying fact we've now got more of matt and lilian

Shula is the queen of passive-aggression.

Did you hear Tom having a go at Hannah? What an unpleasant little pillock he is.

he is..

It's that bloke who Alistair has been halping. He's the one what done the blag. It was so obvious something was going to happen.

Helen has such a whiny voice (about the flat)

Oh hell do i have to feel sympathy for shula now she has been burgled.

I've said it before but the best of pat/tonys kids disappeared under a tractor..

Everything is a bit tame, at the moment in the archers, and I can't help feeling there's a death around the corner. There hasn't been one for ages has there?

Perhaps Tom, pre-occupied with his business situation, has put his car in a ditch? Hence that no-one can get hold of him?

I speculate.

Oh no the Sausage Empire is in peril

'Poor' old Tom after 11 years of being bailed out by his granny hard work. What will he do??? (er...get bailed out again by his granny/uncle Tom Cobley whoever by any slim chance?)

He's a very spoiled brat isn't he?

I'm sure that dear old Peggy will stump up the cash once she finds out that he's only building the sausage empire in honour of his dearly departed brother John and would want him to be proud of what he's achieved

Personally, I thought the whole storyline would have been far more interesting if he'd asked Peggy for the money when he was round at hers the other night when Jack was having a turn and she would have called him a selfish, self-obsessed opportunisitic little worm (which is what he is, of course).

Ooh yes I wish he'd done that instead. And then Peggy keels over with the stress of it all...

Gah I hate them all actually; the Bank of Peggy annoys me too.

Matt to the rescue.

David and Ruth were very painful to listne to tonight.

yes why they think its good to ahve those two on all the time I don't know... and why couldnt ryan have lamped shula?

what I want to know is what is matt up to .. I don't mind as long as it doesnt mean he is written out - there are few enough interesting characters

I think Brenda is going to be put in a difficult position (according to trailers) - poor Bren

Hello MAS!!!

I love Matt going DAHNNNNNNNNN for fraud, will her go dahn though? He's one of my favourite characters now (I think he's a good actor) and if he goes DAHNNNNNNN I'll miss him!

Great credit crunch plotline though bravo you usually hopeless script writers!

Most of the plotlines are boring me to death though, love Brian though.

Bring back Debbie!!

yo ipanema ! love Debbie too - they must bring her back with Marshall for us to see
Yep, think Matt's going dahhhnn...what will puss cat do ?
