School nativity time
Jake’s in the choir (so doesn’t get a costume), but Mia is an angel.
Helen’s isn’t as sticky out
Helen’s bridesmaid’s dress seemingly is a “more sophisticated” shape than Mia’s.
Second hand wedding outfits
Nic’s mum is wearing duck egg blue. Seems it’s one she wore to one of their cousin’s wedding.
Clarrie asked Nic if she minded that her mum was wearing it for the second time (at her own daughter’s wedding), but Nic didn’t.
[Nic] “I won’t be offended if you don’t wear brand new, Clarrie”
[Clarrie, feeling sheepish] “The only suitable outfit I’ve got is the one I wore to William’s first wedding …”
[Nic, laughing] “Oh, I see!”
[Clarrie] “And I didn’t get that second hand … I didn’t show our William up”
But Clarrie does seem worried.
Has Tony got enough spuds?
Hope so.
Or he’d have to turn back the van to get more.
Pat now can’t stop looking at Rich
[Pat] “It’s just like looking at a teenage John”
[Tony] “I know you’re cock-a-hoop about this, but I’m still struggling to take it in ... it’s unnerved me, if I'm honest, which is why I can’t look anymore”
[Pat] “It’s not going to go away. You can’t stuff the genie back in the bottle”
[Tony] “What have we unleashed …”
After seeing Rich’s picture on Kylie’s Facebook, both Tony and Pat are now convinced that Rich is John’s son. He looks the same.
But, Tony doesn’t want to be rushed about calling Sharon.
[Tony] “Our whole lives have been turned upside down at a click of a mouse”
[Pat] “It’s a miracle …”
“I’ve got better things to worry about than the state of my shorts”
Brian’s in a right grump.
He shouts at Will for bothering him with detail about the shoot.
Will later says to Nic:
[Will] “He wants to be kept in the loop but he doesn’t want to know about the details”
And Brian then has a go at Jennifer for harassing him about what he wants to take with him on their holiday.
[Brian] “I’ve got better things to worry about than the state of my shorts!”
The Mart is have a pre-official-opening-sale-opening tomorrow. So he’s stressed.
Will’s a mum’s boy
[Nic] “Reading between the lines, I think your mum’s worried about letting you down at the wedding”
[Will] “Well, she wouldn’t know how!”
Nic tells Will that Clarrie is ashamed about buying dress from charity shop.
[Will] “Well, I’m not having that!”
And he gets straight on the phone to her.
[Will] “Mum, you and me are going shopping, to buy you a new outfit for the wedding … mum, shut up. It was you made me realise Nic's the right wife for me, I was so stuck in the past, without you there wouldn’t be a wedding. I want to treat you”
Good lad, Will.
He seems to have completely changed his tune lately … wonder if it’ll last?
Pat calls Sharon a cow
The wine’s open at Bridge Farm
[Pat] “At last we’ve got something to celebrate. Who’d have thought we’d actually be grateful to Sharon for something. Let’s drink tour son John and his son Rich”
But Tony still can’t look at the picture of Rich, and is still against phoning Sharon.
[Tony] “Actions have consequences. Mostly ones we don’t anticipate”
[Pat] “But that’s what’s so exciting. This world of possibilities has opened up to us, it’s like a blessing”
[Tony] “What will Sharon think after these years … out of the blue …. That’s enough to clear the path for your killer question? She may not want to roll over and play happy families. We didn’t exactly approve of her when she was with John. You called her a fortune hunter!”
[Pat] “I did, didn’t I. But that was so long ago”
Tony is terrified that Sharon will slam the phone down on Pat, and he’ll be left to “pick up the pieces” as he had to after John died.
[Pat] “Why do you have to be so negative? … this little boy … could bring us so much joy”
[Tony] “There you go again, building up your hopes”
But Pat is determined to try and find about him if they can.
[Tony] “He’s not missed out on anything. He’s got his life in Leeds, the only life he’s know. And we’re not a part of it.”
Tony tries again to reason. That Sharon might be biding her time to tell Rich about his dad.
[Tony] “It’s not our place to initiate contact and disrupt the boys’ life”
[Pat] “Rich has a family here as well. I can’t just sit on this. And if I don’t initiate this, who will? That woman has known all about this for 13 years and a dickie bird. Cow!”
[Tony] “Well if you talk to her like that, she really will slam the phone down on you! … it’s all about you,. Isn’t it. What about Tom and Helen … this could change their lives too. You’re so blinkered”
[Pat] “Yes, yes you’re right. I’m sorry. We must show the Rich’s picture, before we phone”
[Tony] “What about wanting my blessing?”
[Pat] “I’ll phone her without it, if I have to …”
So – Tony’s backed into a corner.
He agrees that they need to talk to Tom and Helen before they do anything. Which they’ll do tomorrow – as Brenda’s away.
Poor Brenda.
She really isn't seen to be part of the Archer clan at all.
Wonder what’s happening with their engagement?
