*** This is how tragic I am***. To avoid seeing the actress I had o/h copy and paste the text of that interview into a word document!

Totally agree. She adores Rob nearly as much as Ursula does

Lol at your tactics not to see a pic.

If anyone here remembers Crossroads, Carolyn Jones played Sharon Metcalfe.

''Carolyn Jones was no stranger to television audiences by the time she checked into the Crossroads Motel in 1977, having previously worked on many hit serials including Z Cars, Within These Walls and The Sweeney. In 1977 Carolyn arrived at the motel to work in the garage as secretary Sharon Metcalfe and soon became a popular member of the Kings Oak community. One of the highlights from later years was her storyline concerning the downs child Nina and the social impact that plot had in the real world. Carolyn recalls those groundbreaking scenes as well as many humorous moments behind the Crossroads scenes.''

Poor Clarrie being subjected to Barmouth on her anniversary, especially at this time of year.
Windswept, tacky, and dog poo plastered everywhere.

Portmeirion would have been far nicer.

Rob was especially menacing tonight! He may be biting off more than he can chew by trying to intimidate Lilian though.

And as for getting arsey with Alan the Trendy Vicar ... well.

Our predictions re his response to the psych report were spot on. I really think we should be collectively hired as script consultants.

I think Rob is getting desperate, trying to infer Lilian is up to no good with Justin. Even one as deluded as he should realise that Lilian holds more sway with her lover than the Estate Manager!

How strange that he should pick Alan to unload on - but then maybe Alan is the only one who wil give him the time of day.

I wonder if he will get to desperation point and take" take" Henry and Jack?

I don't want this to be true but I think Helen, Henry and Jack are in danger. Rob is quite unstable and is capable of just about anything.

The only one he has is his horrible mum since he is obviously not going to listen to Alan and I hope that he will lose his job shortly and he is going to hang around Ambridge and he is bonkers.

The clues are there........

I'm kicking myself, because I saw the Lilian/Justin/Rob one coming and forgot to post it. So, annoying if you miss a 'told-you-so'-chance. Humph!

I think that Rob is lining it up as insurance, just in case Justin rethinks his position at Demara. Plus getting back at Lilian for not renting to him.

What he said to Alan was predictable. I think that he'll try and find some way at getting back at Helen, but not sure he's at the hostage-taking stage yet.

Btw unless they are going to have Rob muttering to himself I think Ursula and now Alan are to some extent props to get Rob's side.

You may be right but I do think that both Lilian and Justin are made of sterner stuff than being bothered by a lowlife like Rob.
Lilian has nothing to lose and Justin's wife probably couldn't care less so cummon Rob.........bring it on.

I'd like to propose a game:

What about everyone that wants predicts storylines or events.

My first one is that the much hyped family picture will be a disaster. Ed scrubs up well, but Chris manages to spill his lunch down his tux just before. (Maybe Ed lends him a shirt?)

Count me in.

I predict that Joe Grundy's death is the sad Christmas addition.

(I actually thought he was going to kick the bucket at The Wedding Anniversary meal, although I'm glad he didn't.)

Ooh goody - prognostics

I Mystic Megged the Doom of Heatherpet <bows>




Is this one too obvious - Pip will soon get fed up of Toby and they will have lots of rows. She will confide in Rex as they are still friends and it will end up in smoochies.

Do not........repeat do not.....get me started on Pip the Peculiar.

Alistair will have an affair with the new lady vet.

I think Peggy will go first. Lilian saying how fantastic she is for 92 was tempting fate!

Oh, yeah and the obvious one of Colin/Tom and Colette/Kirsty rekindling their love in the Panto.

Was surprised that Rob used his ammunition up straight away instead of using it as a threat. Up till now he's been playing the long-game, gathering information and then using it at key moments (e.g. Adam's infidelity at the stag-do, when he found out about Charlie and Adam 11 months earlier)

So, my next prediction is that Justin will have to chose between Rob and Lilian and I think the idiotic w****r will choose Rob.

Also, what's this cat and mouse game Elizabeth is playing with Richard? Is she trying to glean if he has feelings for Shula? Didn't think she was that interested in him. Didn't she mention some teacher of Freddie's that might win her heart.

Ffs..............Lilian has ''to face the music'.''

I love Lillian and I detest her 'boyfriend'.

He is an out and out creep.................imho.

Yes, she did - Ifty or some such. He's a maths teacher who played for or coached the village cricket team briefly.

Might Freddie turn out to be gay, d'you think? I wonder if that might be what his being "unsettled" is about.

I thought Heathetpet was dead?

Yes a while ago, hence Jill back at Brookfield.

I think it could be Bartleby.

Just listened the 22nd Nov episode.

Alan is being a total berk. Meddling and giving Rob ideas and tips, enabling how him to see how he might manipulate the situation in his favour.

"Forgiveness". Forgive Helen for what? Not allowing herself to keep being raped?

"You have to figure out fhe best way to be parents to Jack for the rest of your lives"

This would be the same Jack the court and the psychologist regard as being at risk of damage from Rob?

The best way is for Rob to be hounded and ostracised till he leaves, not be coddled and be given half baked self-help codswallop from that do-gooding twerp.

Sorry for letting off, but this episode really narked me.

Hounding and ostracising is too good for him. A sound horsewhipping and a spell in the stocks on the village green is the very minimum that should happen.

If someone managed to render him unconscious and tattoo "abusive bastard" on his forehead, as a warning to other women, I'd be delighted.
