sallykate Nov 2014 4:24pm, 13 Nov 2014 3,684 posts	0 sallykate I'm rather enjoying anything with Carol thingy (Eleanor Bron). The Brookfield sale is just annoying: either it will go through, in which case we'll lose very central characters for no good reason, or it won't, in which case I'm wasting my time being strung a line. I quite like Helen / Rob scenes too - I wonder if there will be something tonight at Peggy's 90th bash where he again denigrates her choice of dress and chips away at her fragile self-esteem.

BaronessBL Nov 2014 5:39pm, 13 Nov 2014 4,089 posts	0 BaronessBL I'm wondering if Peggy will make it to her 90th bash tonight..... given the way the scripts are going at the moment. The Grundys will have a turkey disaster, even though Carol is helping them, As for David & Ruth, the selling of Brookfield and the new road saga.....I really despair I'm intrigued by the Helen/Rob thing though....and I doubt we have heard the last of his wife yet either.......
Sharkie Nov 2014 5:44pm, 13 Nov 2014 6,065 posts	0 Sharkie Baroness - every time we mention Rob's ex wife in our dog's presence we have to say 'The Wife'.

BaronessBL Nov 2014 5:47pm, 13 Nov 2014 4,090 posts	0 BaronessBL I can imagine Sharkie....especially if you are discussing 'The Wife' in a cross/exasperated way... it would be most confusing for poor Jess otherwise. Thank goodness Linda Snell isn't called Wanda Snell

Lazydaisy Nov 2014 7:07pm, 13 Nov 2014 9,129 posts	0 Lazydaisy Shouldn't The Wife have had her baby by now? The way she disappears, reappears and disappears again with next to no comment is utterly beyond belief. I know Helen is meant to be a stupid, needy piece of work but the way she swallows Rob's explanations is hardly credible.
sallykate Nov 2014 7:52pm, 13 Nov 2014 3,687 posts	0 sallykate Good point LD - if the baby was a result of a Valentine's night liaison it's should appear any minute. Maybe they're saving it up for a Christmas Day special -- though in EE fashion it would be Helen presenting Rob with divorce papers...
