Archers fans - Have you noticed just how similar Vicky is to.........

[LauraIngallsWilder]

the love interest in Wallace and Grommit a matter of loaf and death

The similarity is uncanny!
I watched it with my lo's yesterday on bbciplayer so it should be still available

That's true. It's more the way she seemed to feel that what she thought about someone else's pregnancy was a matter of great importance and that she should use her influence to make the other person do what she wanted them to do. I know she's all maternal towards the incredibly annoying Annette, but all the same...

"being friendly to Williams partner's kids"

Hmm. She liked the theory of babysitting but the reality backfired big time. You think that she might have learned her lesson.

She can't adopt her dead husband's grandchild / lodger's child - that's just plain wierd.

Have posted about this on another thread but at the risk of repeating myself, Annette has my sympathies in having to deal with Helen's "I'm not trying to decide for her ..." crapola. I get that Helen is broody and would find it hard to be neutral, especially as Annette is Greg's daughter, but still that conversation with Brenda mind-boggling!

oops, x-posted with loads of people!

The Helen storyline is frankly ridiculous. Just because her relationship with 'I'm an ozzie so I have to conform to type and be a sow your wild oats barman' Leon didn't work she thinks that she can live her life through totally unstable Annette. Come on script writers, we're not stupid so please don't consider us as such.

And don't even get me started on Vickiiiii. Let's hope Brenda's right and Mike sees the error of his ways before they hit their 1st anniversary. Perhaps she could be killed by Bert as he practises for this year's ploughing competition...

I find it rather amusing just how much many of you seem to dislike Helen! I rather like her........... which is worrying!

Helen doesnt know that leon seduced annette

Judging by tonight's episode, Annette's going to tell her who the "father" is, isn't she?
Vicky is getting more needy all the time, i think she needs to increase her hours at the dentist, or YES! got it, she can end up rinning the shop.

I have always wanted to hit Hell-in over the head with something really heavy. The woman has no sense about blokes and she comes across as frankly a wee bit creepy. Annette is a bit of a drip but I am sure she will wise up if she gets out of the clutches of the Archer Clan Run woman! Run!

I think Vickieee will be trampled to death by 'her' lovely longlashed cows.I can only hope....

I like Vicky.

Just wait till smug Kate - God's gift to motherhood- rolls into town soon.

Methinks the fur might fly.

Smug Kate will have to hand over her 'Gods gift to motherhood' crown once Helen gets going.

There's only one way to sort that out - ' FIGHT!'

( Apologies to Harry Hill)

OMG Helen is getting worse, now she wants a baby, why doesn't she get a Play Station if she is bored or missing Annette.

How about Helen, Vicky and Susan go off with Jim in his car and there is a huge pile up on the Borchester by-pass. That could be a quick way to sanity. Susan is really getting on my nerves.

Has there EVER been anyone as self absorbed as hidious Helen?

Bloody hell the whole termination thing was all about HER. No wonder the poor child ran away.

Now she has got to have a baby. Can you imagine all the hand wringing and whingy soul searching we are going to have to endure now?

Well, it makes sense... she'd figured out where the cot was going to go, so now Annettes not obliged she'll just have to have a baby herself.

I missed some crucial part though - is she getting a donor or what?

Do I dare give another of my famous Archers story-line predictions? Who is willing to bet that the clinic decides Helen is too emotionally fragile to be taken on (can't think why they might think that ), so she and Ian arrange something between themselves?

There was something in the way he said to her, when talking about the whole having a baby with his mate Madz thing, that he'd never have a baby now, and he's fine with that that set me thinking...

Hm... I actually think Ian is the sanest person in Ambridge and therefore probably has enough sense not to touch Helen with a bargepole let alone a turkey baster.

Tom sounded fairly keen to be a father last night, though, didn't he? And Brenda didn't seem to share his enthusiasm. Maybe he will turn into a very hands-on uncle if Helen goes ahead with Project Baby...

Maybe Tom and Brenda will have a baby and Aunty Helen will kidnap it.

On an another subject, what is going to happen with Matt's brother? Will he turn into a stalker, or have an affair with Lillian? Or both? And WHEN will Usha and the vicar have a baby?

Usha's about 74, isn't she?

Immaculate conception??

Fagash Lil will have an affair with Paul. Yawn.

She has to be at least forty, but they keep sneaking bits in makin obvious they are "at it", so I am sure something will happen.
