The Archers

What a selfish witch. Evil-Stepmother Helen not wanting to take on Lee’s kids but happy for him to take on hers.

That’s entitled Helen for you, I think personally she’ll be thrilled to see his kids move to California so she can be the centre of his world here.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Omg
Was not expecting that.
End of an era

 

[FlashBoof]

Jeepers. Whilst waiting for poor Robert Snell to be no more, they do that!

 

[Shinealight]

Poor Jenny Dahling
how will the family get through this?

 

[anniemouse]

I just listened on the way to work and was tearing up as I parked my car. So sad Jenny darling

 

[Sea]

Oh my!! I'm in shock, I was not expecting that.
I can't believe it

 

[Marilyn345]

I can't believe it

Yes a real shock. I understand the actress who plays Jenny is very ill herself and wouldn’t be coming back, it would be just impossible to replace Jenny, So much history there, I remember her becoming pregnant with Adam when not married, a real scandal at the time.

Any chance people could put spoilers behind the spoiler alert please? Perhaps it’s my fault for following the thread, but I wasn’t expecting to see spoilers like this, as I don’t always manage to listen live

I do sympathise, especially with this storyline, but that’s not really on once the programme has been broadcast and we are bound to comment on this event. If it’s any consolation it’s a really good episode leading up to the conclusion.

 

[Sea]

I think her character was too important and I'd happily have had a new, similar voice actor playing the role.
Wonder how Ruari will react

Just listened, you’re right it really was a good episode.

 

[anniemouse]

I read on here last night what had happened but it didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the episode. Very sad news about the actor.

 

[TravellingPants]

There was me saying all the characters live for so long than Ambridge’s life expectancy must be off the charts! I reckon Brian won’t be far behind.

 

[Lotso2018]

I was so sad on my way to work I couldn’t believe it poor Jenny. Lilian was the one that made me bawl just how desperate she seemed

It was when Brian said the doctor said her heart wasn’t strong enough set me off.

 

[over thinker]

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Ah that’s really lovely.

 

[Sea]

@over thinker could you put that picture behind a spoiler pls.
I like to have my own mental image of radio fictional characters (like reading a book) - that's why I avoid the archers website too.

Fitting use of the poem, and yes even now I'm still in shock

 

[Sea]

Am I the only one that thought Ruari was going to assault Julia when he was drunk?
Lillian I feel for her
