Yes, she wants them out. It's what she deserves after all she's been through. #TheArchers

I'd like the number of times that Natasha rubs it in to Helen that she's part of a couple to equal the number of times Helen says "but as a mother" to Kirsty. #TheArchers

I would love to hear the conversation where Natasha ousts Helen from the en suite using those exact words - 'because we are a couple'!
As for the cooking, please, let the mac 'n cheese and pop tart boxes pile up in the formerly 'pristine' kitchen. #TheArchers

Good thought! I have faith in Natasha making it unpleasant enough for Helen to leave. Combination of messy habits and being Helen's Gracious Host oughtta do it.
"Don't feel bad about not paying rent, Helen, I know you'd do the same for us if we were that ... um ... needy." (As if). #TheArchers

That's the spirit! #TheArchers

Natasha has a lot of beauty products - remember how annoyed Pat was? And I bet she's not all that tidy. She ruined the toaster with her pop tarts at No.1, The Green. And the twins will be noisy!
Can't wait! (It'll probably never happen, sadly). #TheArchers

Jennifer & Lilian married rich men, so Peggy said they and their children were well taken care of. She implied Tony was a failure so was going to leave the bulk to Tom as he had such 'vision' (I know!) Helen was to get The Lodge.
Then Tony got squished by Otto and she changed her mind. #TheArchers

Yes, of course, you're right about Brad and Chelsea. What a wonderful family tree, thanks! #TheArchers

Trying to get my head around this!

Who IS related to Clive?
Bert: father
Susan, Tracy, Keith, Gary & Stewart: siblings
Kylie: daughter
Chris & Emma: niece & nephew
Keira, George, Brad, Chelsea: great nieces & nephews

I think Keith has a wife&children. The Horrobin blood runs strong!
#TheArchers

I remember that well! For once, Tony put his foot down and said Helen was driving Pat back into a recurrence of her depression. #TheArchers

Tom wouldn't dare do anything to upset Helen even more. He knows from experience there would be dire fallout from his parents. Worrying about about Helen is their default mode. Tom always comes second. #TheArchers

Well predicted! #TheArchers

Oh, thanks!

I was thinking the same!
They could have got a family set. Tom is Thomas of course and HellQueen is well known as the Thin Controller. And there's even a Henry.

But which one is Pat?

#TheArchers

I feel a bit deprived that Ruth didn't get her fair share of being given the runaround by Leonard and being bossed around by Jill. I'd have enjoyed that. #TheArchers

I'm more shocked by the mention of Pat's long-forgotten Welsh accent! #TheArchers

Yes, not to mention before that, the arrogance of demanding the whole family, children, dairy herd, Herefords, possibly sheep 'n all, move to the north east. David did finally say 'no' to that insane plan. I blame the editor of the time! #TheArchers

Jill having Leonard at Brookfield could be sweet revenge for when she got booted out to make room for Ruth's 'me Mum'. #TheArchers

When they caused the accident in the first place!

Mind you, I'd have expected David to suggest Leonard come to Brookfield and Ruth to kick off about it, not the other way round. He's usually the kinder one. #TheArchers

It's not for nothing David'nRuth were called the Dopeys on the old BBC board. #TheArchers

No problem, you shall remain anonymous. (You are, anyway!) Cheers!

Thanks again! Do you mind if I post them also to a couple of other Archers messageboards as well as The Ambridge Reporter?
Just noticed the one-liners are up for week January 3-8 on the BBC web site.

Many thanks! I'll get that copied and post to The Ambridge Reporter. Do you post there yourself or another board perhaps?

Oh, that would be great!

Gavin found Alice unconscious by the road and took her to hospital. That was how she found out she was pregnant. She would have been about 9 weeks then. #TheArchers

Alice drank heavily in early pregnancy and didn't stop until she entered detox on November 25 at 19 weeks.
Odd that Chris has never mentioned his fear of problems ahead for Martha, not even to Susan or Neil. Afraid to, perhaps. #TheArchers

Odd neither Kirsty nor Alan commented on Gavin's cough. Kirsty took him home and Alan invited him into his car. Hope they all wore masks. #TheArchers

Sounds right. Midwife said Alice was 12 weeks pregnant on October 6. #TheArchers

She might show up with some learning difficulties later.
I do wonder why the storyline had Alice drink so heavily throughout the first half of her pregnancy that she had severe withdrawal including hallucinations, only to drop the idea of consequences for Martha completely. #TheArchers

Absolutely. George till fairly recently, when Emma clocked to the misogyny, was able to hide his nasty nature from everyone except Neil. I remember Neil confessing to - was it Brian? -that he just didn't like him. #TheArchers.
