Hang out with Helen or sit in a village hall?

Each to their own Brenda, but you must’ve known that Cheesestraw and a bottle of wine does not often make for a fun evening …

It was obvious that some sort of baby-story was about to happen (Helen babysitting for Nic and Will – you can always tell something is afoot when someone suddenly starts helping/spending time with folks you wouldn’t have thought they were on speaking terms, let alone have each other’s mobile numbers).

My bet was on Helen, but (shock and horrors), of course it’d have to be more twisted than that.

And, not satisfied with a mere ‘will Helen ever find out it was Leon’s?’ – I reckon we’re going to experience the deepest and darkest days of Hellin yet. And that’s surely saying something.

Helen will have to first ‘persuade’ Annette not to have the abortion, then cajole and nag until the baby is handed over. Or will she just grab and run?

Seriously - just how far can that rather neurotic woman be pushed? Mike better stay off the roads, and Leon best keep clear unless he wants to be an unwitting father for the second time (if all else fails).


Tom and Helen: thank-you for being a friend

Maybe it’s just because neither of them have seen much of life outside of Ambridge – but Tom and Helen are simply awful confidantes.

Not sure if they’re trying for a middle-England version of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, but every secret or personal titbit from the lives of their ‘mates’ tends to be exposed to someone (anyone!) else the moment they can spill.

Did Pat and Tony skip the lesson about how to keep a secret?


Pat comes right in the end


Odd, but what changed Pat’s mind about Susan being a committee member?

“Your offer to stand would be gratefully accepted.” Since when?

Or is she trying to water down Brian’s influence?
