The Archers: Matt’s up to old tricks … Kenton has a result with Jamie … Jolene talks of selling up
- Oh dear. Here Matt goes again.
- My word, Kenton understood!
- Wonderful moments to cringe worthy ones …
- Jolene just “ain’t got the stomach”
Oh dear. Here Matt goes again.
Moments after he’s officially a ‘free man’, Matt’s already doing deals on the side and trying to hide it from Lilian.
I suppose he does have to have all ‘his’ money in their joint account (or else the law shall return), but that means Lilian can see when he makes any withdrawals.
The money he had put in from his offshore accounts has gone out again, but he claims he “forgot” to tell Lilian that he was doing a deal outside of their joint business.
Claiming that it was “no big deal” and that he doesn’t have to tell Lilian about what he’s doing when he’s not on their time, it seems Matt is back to his old dodgy self.
Can we all foresee Brenda being duped into helping Matt, Lilian finding out, then Paul returning to offer his shoulder?
My word, Kenton understood!
That was a lovely moment between Jamie and Kenton.
Someone finally listened to Jamie, and realised that he’s just not coping with Sid’s death.
His whole reluctance to cricket is because that’s where Sid’s ashes are scattered. Rather than trying to just force him to go (as Kathy’s been doing), Kenton listened and talked it through.
Talking Jamie round by saying that Sid would be upset that Jamie wasn’t playing cricket because of him, Kenton manages to get Jamie out of his bedroom, and down onto the cricket ground.
“be close to your dad just by doing something you enjoy”
Is this a breakthrough? Will Jamie stop shouting? And will Kathy manage to be pleased rather than angry?!?
Wonderful moments to cringe worthy ones …
But, after this very moving moment between Jamie and Kenton, it was simply ruined by:
“I think I can hear your dad’s laugh on the wind”
Ugh!
I get that Kenton might have been trying to relax Jamie even further, especially as he went onto say:
“laughing at me”
(over Kenton’s bad cricket)
But it was a crass and skin crawling moment. Of Hollywood proportions.
Oh the shame.
Jolene just “ain’t got the stomach”
While trying to keep tabs on the every slippy Matt, Lillian’s also been trying to push Jolene to get back into running the bull properly.
After seeming to not know anything about anything, Jolene then simply says “no” to Lilian. She “doesn’t want to think about it” and can’t cope.
It sounded like Jolene has the same problem as Jamie – being somewhere (or doing something) that is so synonymous with Sid is too painful. But unlike Jamie, Jolene’s just expected to cope.
“Sid’s gone. There’s no heart to the place”
But instead of dipping back into her aimless wandering, Jolene tells Lilian that she’s going to sell her shares in the pub.
Well, at least she’s making decisions!
That, of course, throws up the question of who will buy the shares – what will happen to Fallon (and how will she feel about it, considering she’s really got into running the pub) – then what will Jazzer do if Fallon has to leave?
On Lilian telling Matt, he sounded like he’d snap Jolene’s hand off for those shares. Questions is, would he want to convert the pub into flats?
Or would that be too obvious?
Who else has the money to go into business with Lilian? Brian (eeek!)?
Or how about Paul …
