Not really telly, but does anyone else think or know that Ruth and Sam are going to have an affair...

[emsiewill]

...in the Archers?

Or is it just my devious mind?

I always imagine them kissing the backs of their hands playground stylee in the studio...

Thank you, Lio

Hope to god we don't end up listening to them having a passionate reconciliation - I still recall that little moan Ruth gave on top of the hay 9 months before Ben was born

Thanks for sharing that! Had put that firmly to the back of my mind, ewwwwgh

Sorreeee!

Just 3 words in reply! Brian and Siobhan! Most cringeworthy Archers ever!

Can anyone tell me why David and Sophie split up in the first place? Not that I think it was a mistake or anything, but I feel there is a serious gap in my Archers knowledge.

No, Joleen and Sid in the shower.

Iconically shudder-making

HolidayMum, I thought Jennifer and Thingy Travers-Macey had the most embarrassing Archers embrace ever.

Very possible but personally just one word from siobhan and I'm cringing add kissing and I'm retching!

Oh nooooo (see I'm turning into Ruth) Don't remind me of Sid and Jolene in the shower again.

Radio sex and kissing is hilarious though. I imagine them all standing about with their scripts ooohing and aahing Or maybe the sound effects dept deals with the 'noises'. What an interesting job that must be.

Am just listening to it now.

Ooh that Sophie, she's a baggage isn't she!

Blimey. A Bridezilla before it became the norm.

Oooh thanks for that PretendFriend
She's had a lot to deal with then hasn't she, Helen? Dead brother, world's most sanctimonious dad not to mention sausagey alive brother and then boyfriend who shoots himself?

And eeeeeeep
Have just been listening to yesterday's ep! OMG! Can't wait to tune in tonight....

this is Sophie's back story. The reason she and David split up was...

"David and Sophie's relationship finished after Sophie took a design job in London and discovered that living away from David and Ambridge gave her more confidence. It was Sophie who brought the relationship to an end but David was relieved when she did so."

And in case your toes didn't curl enough with the recollection of Sid and Jolene's shower scene:

"At first David and Sophie's relationship was a bit shaky, with David continuing to see his ex, Gemma King. Sophie delayed starting a sexual relationship with David because she was afraid that she wouldn't be "good enough". David discussed their personal problems with his mother who told him to take his time"

Lol Lio...thanks for that and the link too.

I listened to David's proposal to Sophie..

'I get on much better with you than Gemma King and I'm fond(??) of you so let's get married.' Hahahah!No wonder she ran off.

Ooooh Lio, thanks for the backstage bit. V helpful.

Have work to do.

You know you want to caffeinequeen, go on one peek won't hurt you honestly

The people who post on the Archers message board are seriously wierd - apart from any who also post on mumsnet, obviously.......
