13th July 2010

The Archers: Kathy and Kenton are still not talking … Brenda’s manages to do more than just coffee … Izzy tells Pip the truth .. Sid’s will is being read on Friday
  • The cold front continues
  • While Lilian’s away having boozy coffees …
  • Pip still feels like an idiot
  • Will there be any surprises in Sid’s will?
  • “That’s just sick”
  • Should a friend tell you your partner is a bad-un while you’re still going out with them?


The cold front continues

First Kathy won’t have anything to do with Kenton, now Kenton’s avoiding Kathy.

This will make for simply super birthday for poor Jamie.

Still, at least Josh is invited. And didn’t Kenton sound relieved that it wouldn’t just be the three of them.

Something is badly amiss when you need a young teenager to take the edge off.


While Lilian’s away having boozy coffees …

… Brenda actually makes herself useful.

The first bit of real tension between Matt and Lilian, over the new business, is starting to be apparent.

Apart from Matt hiring Brenda without Lilian having a say, it’s becoming obvious that Matt’s approach to life (business first) is not sitting well with Lilian’s priority of friends and family.

She’s quite right to put Jolene before her work, but it’s not the best approach to a new business. Nor to working with Matt. Leaving him to his own devices could lead to big trouble (yet again!).

And while Lilian’s away working at The Bull, Brenda’s picking up the slack.

How long before Matt makes Brenda swear secrecy over a dodgy deal, odd phone calls, forging Lilian’s signature?


Pip still feels like an idiot


And so she should.

Daft wee madam that she is.


Will there be any surprises in Sid’s will?

Let’s hope not, for Jolene’s sake.


“That’s just sick”


It’s odd, but I can’t understand what Izzy sees in Pip as a mate – just as I couldn’t understand what Pip saw in Jude.

Pip’s lucky to have her, despite doing her best to insult Izzy over working in a supermarket.

And what was Pip thinking? Why on earth did she go to Jude’s flat? Checking his Facebook profile was daft, but understandable – going to his flat was just masochistic.

Still, if you go looking for a truth, you’re bound to find it at some point.

I wasn’t sure why she was so upset over her shampoo and toothbrush being dumped, and unless the CD was a particularly specially expensive one, that’s really no big deal either (and anyway – I didn’t think teenagers bought CDs anymore. Isn’t it all iTunes?).

“He didn’t care”

“Is this what he thinks of me? Rubbish?”

Yup indeed Pip.

Keep repeating it until it really sinks in (though preferably when you’re not on-air, as all this ‘I’m stupid’ and constant ‘revelations’ that Jude was a rotter is getting a bit tedious).


Should a friend tell you your partner is a bad-un while you’re still going out with them?


It’s a tough one, and Izzy did the atypical thing of saying ‘I never liked him anyway’ after the fact. She could have saved us all a lot of earache if she told Pip (and managed to convince her) when she first met Jude.

At least someone has sat Pip down and told her that Jude was never ‘all that’ to begin with.

And also told her that she was letting Jude take over her life.

Can we have the farming-lass Pip back now? Please?
