Not Jack Woolley related but I knew there was an Archers thread and this was the only one I could find.

I like the idea of Carol Tregorran's return as it has the potential to throw up all sorts of past intrigue and skullduggery.

Can't make my mind up about Rob and Jess.  I don't like the chap but not sure whether he is the father of Jess's baby or not. 

ooooo ....glad there is still someone on here that listens to the Archers Madame Arcati I listen every day .....and I defy anyone to interrupt me from 7-7.15  

Yes, the Carol Tregorran storyline could be a good one .....her motives seem a bit suss to me I also found myself grrrring at the radio when Peggy started going on about that bookcase...silly old trout !!! Wait til she finds out about the cash  legacy  

As for Rob .....I'm firmly in the * I hate Rob* camp ....dreadful man......so I've convinced myself that it is his baby ! Mind you , Helen needs a good kick in the rear too !! Where do you think the Roy & Hayley storyline is going ? Are they going to all decamp to Brum with Mike and Vicki ? If so , I hoPE it's not without a large payout for unfair dismissal.....and not before Elizabeth is outed too ! And what about the bypass ....is all the water etc. going to be laid at the door of the digester ? And as for the obnoxious Charlie .....I'm waiting for Adam to sock him one  

As you you can see I'm quite passionate about the Archers  

Baz, a fellow Archers fan!

I'm wasn't sure about Rob and the baby - his having offered to tell Jess to have a pre-natal DNA test (?) being the fly in the ointment for me but, having pondered on it, I suppose if Helen had said that she was in favour of that happening then Rob could either tell her that Jess refused to have the procedure done or, get all huffy with Helen telling her that he was hurt because he felt she didn't trust him.  Daft Helen would then feel guilty and he'd get away with it.  (I agree with you, Helen needs a good kick up the rear).

Also, when Jess was living in the village, she seemed a nice, rational person and not this barking-mad vindictive haridan that Rob is making her out to be.

Peggy and Shula are the characters I like least in the programme. 

I don't know how the Roy\Hayley\Lizzie saga is going to pan out.  Is Mike really going to leave Ambridge?  It'll seem strange without him.  (I still haven't got over Sid's departure).

Did you know that the actress that is playing Carol is Eleanor Bron?

Yes I did I belong to a FB group run by one of the cast members  

I hope Mike doesn't go either ....

I do seem to remember you mentioned it GJ

I'm not liking the Ruth/David storyline ....feels ominous ......hope Jill says no !  

The scenario I'm hoping for is for Route B(?) to be ditched but Ruth leaving Ambridge to go and live with her mother and taking the ghastly Pip with her

(Not heard last night's episode yet)

That would be ok Madame .... ....but there are fears among some fans that it's being set up to see the demise of the Archers itself  

Noooooo! 

We must all take to the streets if the Archers is threatened.  I volunteer to man the barricades outside Broadcasting House

But seriously , there were rumours flying around a while ago .....I just hope it was  scaremongering ....I can't imagine not being able to listen  

I hope Jill goes and never returns...can't stand her.

It's so different since the new editor arrived....so much change and much more going on..which i quite like.What's happened to Cathy and Jamie?

Rob is a complete swine and Helen needs to get with it.

Awww I like Jill . But I wonder how Cathy is getting on in her new job .....I hate it when characters disappear for weeks without even getting a mention from other characters .....I mean , where is Darrell , Alan's daughter , Matt , the new Offuce manager etc. etc. I realise they can't all be in the series every week , but.......

Yes its not as even as it was with characters appearances...Jill annoys me bec ause she pops up everywhere....I dont know how the actress manages since the new regime...she is the Matriarch aka Pauline Fowler who holds it all together...and I preferred it when she occasionally came out from under the Aga
