The Archers Fri 26th Nov 2010: Helen’s worried she’s hurt her baby

The Archers: Tony’s got to scrape the yard … Helen’s making a batch of Borchester Blue … seemingly it isn’t okay to eat takeaway for breakfast (I beg to differ!)

  • Kenton and Jolene off to lunch again
  • “walking the path of sinfulness”
  • Helen’s baby is too small
  • Eddie is innocent
  • Is Tony coming round?



Kenton and Jolene off to lunch again

Kenton and Jolene happen to bump into each other. Kenton suggests Jolene goes to lunch with him at Jaxx, and Jolene agrees.

Doesn’t sound like the start of a steamy romance, but you just never know …

I must say that Jolene does seem to have a high tolerance for Kenton’s rather dated and rubbish sense of humour:

[when Kenton was pretending to be a guitar, Jolene:] “You’re a natural”

Hmmm. I’d have other words for it …

Anyhoo, Jolene was saying to Kenton that she feels she got more energy now.

Just in time for a steamy time with Mr K Archer?


“walking the path of sinfulness”

Kenton has a slight concern that he’ll be struck down by the Almighty as he tries to enter His house on Sunday (for the advent service).

Carrying on the religious theme, Kenton also calls David:

“my angelic little brother”

Interesting.

Is Kenton developing a conscience?


Helen’s baby is too small

I found it very odd that Pat didn’t notice Helen was close to tears at first (maybe that’s why Helen tends to hold it all in, in the first place).

But at least we now know why Helen was being a bit off after she had been to see the midwife.

Seemingly her baby is small for the stage it is at.

And Helen’s worried it’s her fault, for doing too much exercise.

[Helen] “For once in my life I just wanted something to go right for me”

[Pat] “Babies are really robust little things – they can hope with a lot (p)

[Pat] “You just have to realise, you can’t control everything”

[Helen] “I’m damaging it before it’s even been born”

Cripes. And there was me thinking Helen’s kid would only need specialist treatment from a psychiatrist.


Eddie is innocent

Eddie’s still protesting that he knew nothing about the gloop in the bucket he threw over Sabrina.

Nathan’s demonstrating his guilt by quitting the Panto.

Nathan claims he “couldn’t work in such an unprofessional environment”, but I think we can guess that he knew Eddie would do anything and everything to get him back. So probably best he wasn’t on stage in front of an audience when that happened.

Still, Eddie’s had to pay £45 to get Sabrina’s top dry cleaned. Which surely Eddie will get back through Karma – after all, Eddie only stung Nathan for trying to rip off a charity.


Is Tony coming round?

Pat’s talking to Tony about her concerns over Helen:

[Pat] “I think there’s something a lot deeper going on … she’s terrified that something awful is going to happen … because it always does, she said”

[Pat] “When you think how many things have gone wrong in her life … she’s desperate for something to go right at last … she’s pinning so much on this baby”

[Tony] “But it’s alright, we’ll look after her … both of us”

Does Tony really mean that?
