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

[OliviaMumsnet]

I'll just have to start one then.

always has been...I am not sure if she is the most irritating - that was defo linda snell but I have mellowed about her. Also I'm not including ruth in this category or baby ruth aka pip - am seeing more tedious eco warrior storylines here...

lol - Linda seems to have become more open minded doesn't she - still bossy but not so judgemental

cant they make her silent.. am not sure I can take it if they also have more ruaridh or elizabeths twins (lily and freddy)..as they'll prob be as bad

also you just know any offspring of roys will be awful - how did the lovely hayley go from john to him?

true as hasn't he pulled boht kate and hayley

What was Mikes wife called?

Betty

how long ago did she die? and did anyone else find the whole dry stone wall thing last night enough to make me want to do violence with some of the stones(or whatever they were calling them) and wtf is going on with the so called fraudulent ious.. I thought jo grundy had been all over the place writing them/demanding them

Poppy we must stop bumping into each other like this .

Betty died Christmas time a couple of years ago, she was already planned to die as the actress was emigrating to NZ but sadly in RL the actress who played Julia Pargetter died so they had two funerals in quick succesion

yes we must 5gomad ..archers part of our bedtime routine here.. you're never too young to have your favourites

LOL. It's called "mummy's beebies" in our house and everybody has to be quiet.

excellent..although I do live in fear taht I may raise a child that grows up [whispers] ...liking susan or some other such unintended side effect of listening to the archers

No no. Nobody likes Susan.

think even neil struggles sometimes ... makes my dislike of ruth, pat, linda and now usha (I'm no great lover of shula but she went psycho about the whole wedding thing) pale into nothing

also found I've mellowed. -quite like jennifer now.. the comedy of her horror re alice/christopher (if it had been based around having family ties to susan I could have understood..)

Oh no I hate Shula - Usha is nice. I like Ruth and I love Linda! Hate Pat.

like Linda a lot, do not like Ruth,Shula,Susan or any of the children but Pip in particular

it is mainly the voice with ruth that I don't like..that and her involvement in many of the more tedious educational storylines.

all the kids are v.tedious but pip very very bad

Oh yes, Pip is BAD.
I hate Elizabeth, too - would have to smack her if I met her IRL.

ohh yes... was anyone else secretly pleased when she got left in teh lurch by simon pemberton?

forgot to mention that prob of everyone clarrie is my favourite -how can anyone be so sweet in the face of such provocation with her family?

Secretly? No
(Before my time, but I would have been happy.)

Stop it now. Linda fantastic and I won't hear a word.

I bet you'd like to stay at the ambridge hall b*b and help with the llamas fossilsister

am still about what an ungrateful chump willyem was tonight to saint carrie

I would like one of Robert's breakfasts and a bit of feng shui with the DH.

oh i hate clarrie she is so stupid and doormatty
