How's this?
Following the New Year's dramatic events (whatever they are), Brad & Amber decide they can't be together. Amber leaves Ambridge.
Scroll forward 2 years. Brad is walking down the street in Felpersham* & he bumps into Amber... #TheArchers
*don't worry, he's just visiting from Coventry

I'm not sure when I first called this, but it was at least July (and no, I wasn't alone). #TheArchers

That occurred to me quite early on. I wondered whether Chelsea saying earlier this week that Amber isn't marrying Brad was foreshadowing 🙂 #TheArchers

There's never been a murder in #TheArchers & I'm going to stick my neck out & say there won't be now.
I'm not ruling out other forms of violence against the person however, including attempted murder. Or attempted suicide. Or accidental death. ☠️

Ah yes, Pat's (or is it Chekhov's?) shotgun. I was thinking about that earlier in the week. But unlike Sarah, I forgot to post 🙂. #TheArchers
I hope Pat’s shotgun is locked away #TheArchers

Good, Ed remembered his promise & told Emma the truth (at least as he saw it). #TheArchers
That's an interesting point. Many years ago, Ed & Emma agreed never to keep secrets from one another, as doing so had always led to trouble. Both have broken that promise on occasion, with predictable results. Will Ed stick to it now? #TheArchers

George has a self esteem/self image issue. His perception of self is so fragile that he doesn’t face up to mistakes and finds criticism/rejection hard to accept. He needs help to get past this, or the harm will define the course of his life.
But, crikey, SWs, he is so well-written! 👏 #TheArchers

While we were all concentrating on George, Justin was telling Kirsty he is looking for a manager for his other rewilding project. Where is it? Is Kirsty going to be leaving Ambridge? #TheArchers

I thought he shoved him, but if it was a punch, then it's a rerun of this episode. Will was 20 at the time, the same age George is now. #TheArchers thearchersarchives.org.uk/adam-is-the-...

When Ed was half-killed by Will, he wasn't to know that 17 years later Will's son would try to finish the job. #TheArchers thearchersarchives.org.uk/will-and-ed-...
Will and Ed come to blows with Ed taking the brunt of it. It isn’t clear what state his is in. – The Archers Archives

Excellent point. I can hear Eddie saying 'Don't worry Clarrieluv'. Of course she always did worry. Ironically, Eddie usually was up to something dodgy, whereas George wasn't.
It's a pity he hasn't learnt from Ed & Emma instead... 1/2 #TheArchers

We don't know who stole the Village Hall Curtain Fund money. It was most likely Alf, he disappeared from Ambridge at the same time.
Some listeners assumed it was George because he suddenly had a lot of cash. Emma thought was over-generous birthday money from Will. Maybe she was right. #TheArchers

Just a thought. When George (age 10) was flashing the cash after the Village Hall Curtain Fund went missing, many listeners thought he had stolen it. Whereas Emma thought Will was being over-indulgent again.

Very much a first world problem, but honestly, #Waitrose should be paying me to pull their products forward 🙄. I had a proper workout this morning, stretching up (I'm 5'2") and grovelling on the floor. Someone less curious would probably have assumed the stuff on the lower shelves was out of stock.

'Most newborns look like potatoes' 🤣🤣
Might be true of some humans, but most of us are mammals and similarly wired. Most newborns look like potatoes but brain chemicals convince us otherwise.

So, Leonie can give James the flick, move to Ambridge and maybe get cosy with Rex? He needs to get over Rochelle. I assume she is in the right age bracket ,unless Martyn makes a play for her.

I must say I have enjoyed this week's #TheArchers, even though, as someone said earlier in the week, you could strain spaghetti with the plot 😊

Don't forget Phoebe lives with her (presumably) Scottish partner in Scotland, a country where the name Margaret was historically very popular. Though it seems less so in recent years. #TheArchers

I’m gonna keep sharing these ovarian cancer symptoms whenever I see them.
I will add - from personal experience - diarrhoea and fatigue.
Get it checked! Remember, there’s no routine screening for ovarian cancer.

This has reminded me. Didn't Joy say she was thinking of organising some sort of Christmas entertainment? We've heard nothing more about it. #TheArchers
He was, wasn’t it him that was running two girlfriends during the Gilbert and Sullivan village production. #TheArchers
