Scruff? Scruff? Scruff? Oh Scruff?

[ladybirder]

Has anyone seen poor Scruff?

[UKSWF]

Ooohhh Noooo! I think Pet Love is going to croak her last very soon!!!

[The Builder]

Nooooooo, Helly. You need to get this right. Jim (Lloyd - aka Prof), is Alistair's father ;o)

[ladyalex]

Richard the Doctor wasn't married, he was living with Usha when Shula had an affair with him.
Mark is Dan's father. Dan was conceived by IVF after Mark died in a car crash....they had been planning to have IVF anyway as they could not conceive naturally.
Hope Scruff does turn up, but he must be a very old dog by now anyway.
He originaly belonged to Dan but had to be given to Londa because he frightened the horses a the Stables.
Those are my memories anyway!

Come on, you scriptwriters! Find the blinking dog!

[ladybirder]

They don't care BB. They're not looking for him anymore, not even Linda. It's all too sad I'm afraid.

LadyA thank you for filling in the background stuff with Richard/Shula/Usha/Mark etc. Wasn't Shula blamed for his death in some quarters?

Just re-read what I actually wrote - I can laugh along with you, but you got my drift! Actually had a slight twinge of sympathy for Rob today (Helen had rather landed him with child-care and cooking) but a takeaway isn't the end of the world and Henry was jolly well going to have to eat that spoonful, wasn't he?

[ladyalex]

I don't recall Shula being blamed for Mark's death...but you may be right.
Did it happen on the night of Caroline's hen night before her wedding to whoever it was before she married Oliver? Mark was coming to pick them up.
But I'm a bit hazy about that.

What has happened to Debbie, that's what I want to know ? Is she doomed to stay in Eastern Europe (Hungary?) forever?
And who is the most talked about silent character now that Frieda has died?

[jourdain2]

Debbie had (last heard) got a boyfriend - may be relevant, but I'm surprised the BL situation doesn't seem to have affected her.

[The Builder]

Debbie spends so much time in the West End these days, I guess Hungary must be running itself ;o)

Has Ruairidh ever spoken?
Is he the next Frieda?
Haven't heard much from Ben either....

[hellywelly4]

Sorry for giving duff gen about Jim Lloyd, yes, of course, he is Alistair's father. Ruairidh spoke when he was a little boy, but hasn't for a long time.

[ladyalex]

I remember Ruairidh speaking now when he was very little......some years ago.
Cannot remember Ben uttering, though......but I may be wrong, I often am.

The 'yummy Mummy' whatever her name is, does she speak?

[melv16]

Ooooo, Richard's sniffing round Shula & the soufflé burnt as well....That'll teach her:-)

[ladybirder]

Will it though melv? She is about to play with fire I reckon.

And Rob's wriggling like a worm on a hook. I shall combust if he's not the father - he'll be even more insufferable than he is now. Good for Helen (and I don't ever say that) for making sure he went to the doc's surgery. But of course there is no question in her mind that he might be the daddy. Can't wait. Sad I know.

[ladyalex]

Well, Alistair has been very innatentive recently.....so no wonder Shula is attracted to an old flame....hope Usha gets involved....a nice bit of fighting there I think.
Rob.....yuk! horrid horrid man....just about Helen's standard though. The scriptwriters seem to have got it figured out that some women just keep on choosing unsuitable men....

[ladyalex]

We are a bit sad, really....getting as interested in this about a farming soap...

[hellywelly4]

We are sad ladya - and I always say 'No I never watch any soaps on TV'!

[UKSWF]

Scruff has been spotted driving a tractor on the M74 in Scotland, it is a long way from Ambridge! Come on Scruff times to come home lad, you have had your fun

[ladybirder]

LOL, I would give you BA for that if you didn't already have it. Stop raising my hopes though, it feels as if he never ever existed now. Wiped from history he is:-((
