Up until now what we've seen of Jess was someone reasonably level-headed, pleasant, etc etc. Suddenly she's getting pregnant from 'having a fling', really quite manipulative and needy? I can't shake off the feeling that the editor/scriptwriters have completely given up on credible characters and have moved into farce rather than drama.

Scruff coming back is more likely than the speed with which everything but the Bull seems to have dried out, the fact that Will and Ed are reconciled and the total nonsense about the culvert blocking. No, I'm really not following it all closely

BaronessBL May 2015 9:54am, 30 May 2015 4,426 posts	0 BaronessBL LD I'm very surprised that Scruff isn't microchipped to be honest. I'd really have thought that Linda of all people would take her pet owning responsibilities more seriously, which would have saved her the distressing trip to the dog pound yesterday. Given that microchipping is going to be the law soon I'm sure this storyline will build in that piece of public information somewhere......!!
LazyDaisy May 2015 1:59pm, 30 May 2015 10,805 posts	0 LazyDaisy I gather from the FB page that Scruff was originally Dan's dog (I didn't know that) so it makes it even more unlikely that he wouldn't have been chipped, given that Alistair's a vet and all. And you're right, the Lynda we know and love would most certainly have made sure he was chipped.

old mum Jul 2015 7:46pm, 3 Jul 2015 959 posts	0 old mum I'm now too scared to listen. All the scenes that involve apparent inhalation of food makes me boke. We know they're having lunch/supper because of all the clinking of cutlery/crockery and the fact that they've blatantly stated there's meal involved. I DO NOT (underline, bold, italics, yellow marker) need to listen to them having a conversation with their mouths full of food! Goes in search of brown bag to breath in to
