So when Lilian has an affair with a married man, that’s shocking and it’s adultery and you tear Lilian off a strip in no uncertain terms; when Helen had an affair with, and moved in to live with, a married man that was perfectly ok and you were sweet as pie to both Helen and the adulterous man.
Bit of a double standard, isn’t it?
Herr Plott deWeiss is extremely busy these days. SOC wanted Helen and Rob together so he could indulge his taste for abuse porn; Huw the Hyphen seems to want Justin sidelined. Clumsily done, I agree, but the removal of a completely pointless character would be welcome.
I wonder if Toerag’s initiation into the realities of farming life is about to precipitate his permanent relocation to Brighton? Still stuck with Rex and Akneejerk, alas…
But it was all about Peggy, wasn’t it? Her daughter bringing shame on her, but yes, it is inconsistent. Must be something to do with the new editor.
Early days, I know, but I don’t reckon much to Huw the Hyphen. Too much that is too obviously silly, of which the Peggy/Lilian scene was but the most recent example.
True, but I’m prepared to cut him a lot of slack if he’s trying to undo the mess created by SOC. It would almost be worth Lizzie walking out of the shower and telling Nigel what a horrible nightmare she’d just had.
I see your Lils/Peggy scene and raise you the scene of escaped cows. Even if there’s sufficient grass to turn the cows out during the day they would definitely be kept in after afternoon milking. Farmers don’t make work for themselves.
Plus … crappy a farmer as Pip is she would have noticed she was short of some cows. All very silly.
Well, shamelessly living under the same roof is better from the point of view of embarrassment than hole-and-corner sneaking about, isn’t it?
I think she did notice, and that was the reason for the panic.
She noticed the ones on Tony’s land but not the ones that Ed saw by Home Farm land.
Back to Peggy tearing Lilian off a strip: had the ‘affair’ not been over, what would Peggy have done or threatened to do? Not another redrafting of The Will, surely.
Does anyone else feel that this signals in blazing letters* a yard high that it is not in fact ‘over’ at all? Cue Peggy complaining of being lied to, along with all the other high jinks in store. Oh joy.
*Not that kind, obviously - ‘a yard high’ should have been sufficient clue.
No, it’s not over. I am visibly drooping at the thought, but suspect that Justin won’t be. Gawds.
Soo
It wasn’t the beef cattoo that escaped, by any chance, was it? They do have them I think. I remember someone cancelling an order because they were upset that the Dopeys were bogging of to High-Dee-Ho instead of staying to fight Route B.
Anyway, I am hoping for big, big ructions with Bridge Farm over their compromised organic status due to Pip’s negligence and duplicity. And stupidity.
But are they organic? Won’t at least some of them be the ones that Pip was mob grazing on Home Farm land?
Gosh, no idea, Joe. Just hoping for maximum trouble for Pip!
That’s an attitude I can respect, Janie 
I read that one well, didn’t I?
Don’t give up hope, Joe. Maybe one of those speeding cars will wipe him out.
Eerily unprescient, I’d call that.
