I must go and change my will… and I think when I get round to it (!) I will add my essential passwords. And maybe some funeral thoughts too. Timely reminder to get on with it 😂 thankyou #TheArchers

I’m so sorry, what a horrible horrible experience.

Oh I’m glad we know! I mean I think we knew, but it’s good to know we know 😂 I did feel for her, imagine the excitement of finding a brother and then it’s Adam 😂😂

I know! I am generally ok with storylines starting up and petering out without conclusion… I have plenty in real life! But finding not a half sister!!

Or is the storyline that neither she or Adam could be bothered? At least that would make sense… but I’d like to know. You’d think we could have a snippet of conversation, perhaps with Ian, explaining!!

I think there will need to be a PM, so she may well not have got the certificate yet, depending on how full the hospital mortuary is?

I think David is concerned for the cows mostly. And Esme probably can’t afford to pay contractors until some of her father’s affairs are sorted, if at all! And she will need time to sell the herd. And Ruth likes her. And farmers do help each other out … most of the time anyway 😂

Absolutely! 3pm is a very good time for a nice afternoon tea, and home in time for a snooze before #TheArchers
And brunch is also acceptable.

Yes, I think you are remembering right, and it makes sense. Debbie has been in Hungary (hope I have the right country!) for a long time now, and must be well settled I imagine.

I suppose we could have a new Debbie? I don’t mind either way really, as I must be one of the few people who doesn’t like the character (great actor though!). But she’d be a cat among the pigeons, in a story I’m very much enjoying! Making it even more fun to listen to. 😃

The White House getting gutted for a one-man vanity project that benefits no one but said man, right after 7 million people said “please fuck off,” is such immaculate symbolism it’s making my head spin.

Honestly, you really could not make it up at this point.

Tuesday 21st October #OriginalRollCall
Morning Neil😃 and morning all ORCs, especially those who are probably typing at the same time as me 😂😂

Anyone done an #OriginalRollCall yet?

They certainly came very close. And we heard a moment of panic in his voice when the police were mentioned. But then his next move was lie in wait for Lillian and sound really threatening! I wonder if a return to serve the rest of his sentence is in store for our George?

He really has! I have to confess though, I really enjoyed Alice stirring the pot! Brian is coming back from holiday with a lot to answer!!

It’s such a brilliantly done storyline isn’t it! I remember little very young George, and thinking he is being spoilt emotionally to make up for some of his circumstances, snd the early sparks of the George we see now. And the actor is outstanding.

Precisely! I am really hoping the SWs have a probation officer somewhere who will remind him he is only out on licence! I doubt his ever George worshipping family will!

I think he only agonised briefly, and when it was really put in front of him. And when he thought it might keep him out of prison. Even with the occasional spark of good we see, I reckon George is fundamentally utterly selfish!
(I’m also impatient to hear Amber 2.0 😃)

I also had my foot well in the stirrup on my way to mounting my high horse!! 😂

I agree, if he’d thought it through properly he’d have realised he needed to get Alice help. Preferably from her family. Or Chris… his uncle!! Or an ambulance. But he wanted to drive her nice car!

I think it’s probably much less these days. When my ex husband was out on parole he had to visit with a probation officer weekly to begin with. It was ages ago, but I think that got less frequent after a couple of months. His family was very supportive, it was a condition of his license.

I think it did. Both in him being bullied because of it, and his family giving him too much benefit of the doubt because of it. And I think Neil also is right in that there’s something in George that just isn’t nice. It’s been so well written over a long time scale.

The chaplain tried, but I don’t think George went back after he didn’t get what he wanted. We don’t seem to be hearing about a probation officer? Since he’d have to keep going if it is a condition of his parole, that could work? But I’m not sure George will engage.

In absolutely no way, in any universe, was George within his rights to place her in the driving seat!!!!!
Just thought though, were you hoping he’d say that so Lillian kicked him in the doodahs?!

Me too!! I was incredibly self absorbed, and yet somehow little self awareness 😂
That quote is quite apposite… as those same parents were once the teenagers!!
