Sderr...if memory serves, Proberts wifes name is Angela.
That would be funny if Angela bought the pub. But how would a divorced nurse be able to to pay for a pub in cash?
I would love it if Griffiths bought the pub

LOL I was online earlier looking at Welsh pet names as we`re getting a puppy in the next month or so as soon as the Welsh collie puppies are old enough to leave their mother..
One of the puppy names was Ffion and the meaning of Ffion was 'From the vine'. If that doesn`t describe Ffion in PYC perfectly, I don`t know what does LOL

Here`s what it said....

FFION: Welsh form of Irish Gaelic Fíona, meaning "vine."

What a shock for Ffion - and the news not exactly broken gently!
I do hope Eifion is not involved with Gary's evil deeds.
I'd quite like to see some totally new characters come in to run the Deri.

Can you answer a few questions as have only been watching Pobol Y cwm since yesterday,

Diane, what does she do? Have seen her working in a DIY shop.

Denzil and his wife, did they break up soon after the Cot death in the 90s when shown on BBC2

How do you prounounce Sioned, is it the welsh equivalent to Sinead?

And how do you pronounce Lolo the plumber.

Also why is Britt Monk in hospital

Thanks

I've been watching since June so hopefully can help:

Diane is a counsellor and works at ABD (I think).

Britt was in a fire, where her brother Brandon died

Last night was so good. I think Ffion is going to have a very interesting emotional story arc.

I also hope Eifion is not involved with Garry. He doesn't have a motive to help Garry harm Dani. So if he is involved he would be a cold blooded killer. Whoever set the fire should be someone with a motive. I would be disappointed otherwise.

What was Garry doing last night? Planting something? Was he after Dani or Yvonne? Any guesses there?

Diane works at ABD the DIY shop while her hubby (part owner, the Dai in ABD) is away working to pay off debts.

I pronounce Sioned as Shaw-ned

Iolo is pronounced Or-le-o

Britt Monk is in hospital because she was knocked unconscious trying to save her brother Brandon from a fire that was caused deliberately in the flat above the chip shop that Britt owned. I think her brother Garry Monk owned the flat above the chip shop where Dani and her fiance Brandon lived.
Brandon, Brit and Garry are siblings who were all brought up in a childrens home in Newcastle. It was in Newcastle that started a chain of events that is still being played onscreen.
it turns out that Garry Monk is only the half brother of Brandon and Britt, and his real father died in hospital. Brandon, Dani, Brit and Sion went to Newcastle to visit their foster Mother earlier this year. Garry mixed business with pleasure and was in some dodgy deal with some men from Garrys criminal past. These criminals wanted Garry to go into business with them human trafficking, but Garry shopped them to the police instead.
Meanwhile while all this was going on, Dani became jealous of Brandon spending time with a friend of Brandons from the childrens home. Dani got stroppy with Brandon. Dani got drunk and ended up sleeping with Garry which she regretted straight away but the damage was done.
On the night of the fire, Brandon went out with Garry for a few drinks. Brandon told Garry he wanted to propose to Dani. Garry was furious and told Brandon that Dani was a slut and that he slept with her.
When they both got back to the village, they saw a fire had broken out. Brandon ran upstairs to rescue Dani, but she wasn`t there as she had taken their dog Brandi for a walk. Brandon was overcome by the smoke and flames and collapsed. Brit went into the burning flat to rescue Brandon but slipped and hit her head.
Brandon made it out of the fire alive. He was recovering, but as he told Garry how much he hated him, he had a heart attack and died. Thankfully Brandon didn`t tell Dani he knew about her and Garry. he told her he loved her. A few weeks after the funeral Dani found the engagement ring Brandon was going to give her.
Here is a site with the characters in it.

Hope that helps

I would say Sioned is pronounced "Show-ned" and Google Translate always translates it as "Jenny". They also translate Cadno as "Fox" which I quite like (though Anti Marion insists on calling her by her proper name, Catherine). Iolo is "Yo-low", "i" being one of the few English vowels that's a consonant in Welsh (though "w" is a vowel).

Ask more questions! It's great to welcome new people to the show!

I was very perplexed by the Garry and Eifion scene. Have they ever even *been* in a scene together before? No way would Eifion burn down the flat and why would Garry ask him to anyway? Surely Garry has an arsonal of "professionals" he could call. So if Garry didn't do it... and Gethin didn't do it... who the heck did? And why?

As to the Pub...
Spoiler


I agree that Ffion is in for another good story line. And isn't Val the wicked witch of... well.. the North in this case! I'm still hoping Cai and Nesta make a visit. That would stir a lot of things up for Ffion and Hywel.

Backstory on Cai... He is Mac's uncle (Gwen's brother). English teacher at Ysgol. Was having an affair with Ffion when she was married to Hywel. Hywel was taking care of baby Leucu (pronounced "licky" - "u" pronounced like "i") because mother Nesta suffered from post-natal epression (and they won a soap award for it too ). Hywel finds out about the affair about the same time Cai finds out Ffion doesn't trust him. Then *everyone* finds out Leucu is Cai's daughter - not Hywel's!

Basilbird.....I wonder if those thugs from Newcastle have anything to do with the fire? Garry Monk knows some real villains so the number of people who want him dead musty be growing by the week LOL.
I truly hope Dani won`t be going to the female detective with her suspicions about Garry and Efion.

Thanks Basilbird and Wavlor wonderful info. I would recommend anyone completely new to PYC to check out Anthony's youtube channel.

http://www.youtube.com/user/anthonydlangford

He has posted all of Iolo's storyline and most of the Macs rape storyline. I think the Macs storyline is a good jumping in place for PYC, you don't need a lot of background to understand what's happening. I discovered the show that way.

I would like to know more about Garry. Has he always been a criminal? At least he is against human trafficking! What is the relationship between Britt, Garry and Brandon? Britt seems to idealize Garry, but from what I've seen she doesn't have reason to.

Anthony's youtube channel is brilliant to watch all of Macs' rape storyline - 95% of all the scenes are on there. Brilliant acting and writing so far with that.

Anthony's channel is great. You want to search for People of the Valley on his channel. If you go there I would also highly recommend watching the stuff where Scott kissed Iolo and then punched him. Great stuff.

You'd think he would have gone after them first. I don't think he seriously suspects Dani. He just wants revenge (which is a bit bizarre in and of itself considering what happened between them!). And why hasn't D.I. Williams investigated the Newcastle connection? This one has me stumped

I haven't seen that....

I heard about the betting shop - it sounds like it was a laugh!
