I was just going to post how good I thought the new tony is.
I cannot agree about Helen - every show needs a baddie. I love it when Helen and Emma get their comeuppance.
Helen & Emma are not baddies, they're just a bit flaky especially Helen. Now, if you want a real baddie go no further than Jack's adoptive daughter the toxic Hazel.
Wasn't toxic Hazel referred to as Jack's only blood relation? It surprised me as I thought she was adopted.
As for Helen, I think she'll get short shrift from Peggy when they meet up, but I do think she should stay, every village needs its idiot!
Where is Joleen these days ? Its been ages since we last heard from her. I can remember the time when most of the story lines in the Archers used to originate in the Bull.
Why doesn't Jill just move in with David and Ruth and get it over and done with ? They desperately need help and she's great cook ! She would feel more secure as well...simples !
