The Archers: Jude’s on his way … Pip’s devastated … Susan catches Joe out .. Amy’s back at the weekend

  • “It’s been great … fantastic. You’re a lovely girl. We’ve had some laughs, but nothing lasts forever”
  • Problems ahoy for Chris and Alice?
  • Joe takes the biscuit
  • Elizabeth gets her moment
  • “I’d like to slap his smug face meself”



“It’s been great … fantastic. You’re a lovely girl. We’ve had some laughs, but nothing lasts forever”

Goodness me, how happy were you to hear Jude utter those last few words of utter twaddle?!?

Hurrah and hooray! He’s gone (and hopefully not just for a wee while).

True to form, Jude behaves like an utter wanker, and dumps Pip by phone. But only because she called him. And only 30 minutes before he was about to get on his flight to New York.
“It was fun, now it’s all a bit intense”
“That was sweet, but I never asked you to”
(on Pip telling him she’d given up everything for him)

Pip was seemingly with him the day before, but he’s too much of a coward to tell her face-to-face. He could also have spoken up many times when they were discussing their trip, when Pip left college, when Pip was trying to get him to Brookfield … what a rotter!

His attitude as he was dumping her was so cold and blasé, it makes you wonder if he’s not actually a bit damaged. Either that, or Pip never meant anything to him apart from a ‘good time’.

Jude is right about something though:

“There’s a world out there Fizz – time to move on”

Please do Pip. I don’t think I can cope with you moping around for months, and months, and months …

Though

“Maybe he’ll miss me when he’s stuck in New York”

Hardly suggests that Pip has managed to twig that Jude’s just a complete arse.

This ain’t over yet.


Problems ahoy for Chris and Alice?

Just a thought.

Jennifer’s recent noises about not thinking Chris as good enough for Alice, now Susan’s assertion that she’s so chuffed about them being together – does make me wonder if the whole ‘village lad, rich girl’ is about to erupt.
“Imagine my Christopher having such a glamorous holiday, and such a glamorous girlfriend”

Wouldn’t Jennifer be mortified to hear such talk.

Joe takes the biscuit

So that’s what Joe was up to – hiding stock so that he could take it home once it was out of date.

Cheeky!

Isn’t it also funny that Joe (and Eddie) often justify their scams through saying something how it’ll be nice for Clarrie?

Still, Susan has the right approach. Just appropriate Joe’s ill-gotten gains for herself. *snort*


Elizabeth gets her moment


To be fair, all of Elizabeth’s interrupting into Pip/David/Ruth’s life has come good eventually.

She’s the perfect person for Pip to sob to about Jude.

“Unforgiveable … cruel”

Quite right. But without saying ‘I told you so’ (which I’m sure David wouldn’t have been able to avoid!).


“I’d like to slap his smug face meself”


“So that’s that then”
“He’s out of our lives – thank god – thank goodness dumped her here”

“What a first class …”

David and Ruth finally see the back of Jude, but obviously at the cost of their “poor little girl”.

Ah well. Maybe Pip can start to grow up now.

I confess I did a little jig when I heard Jude do the dirty on Pip. Sadly I fear, however, that you are right and that this won't be the last we hear of this storyline...
