SPOILER-ISH

It's been on the cards, but I'm still extremely sad to see one of my favourite characters go.

I felt quite upset. I shouted up to B . She surely wasn't high in the
St Stephen CHurchyard stakes? I could see them going off on a cruise
but surely Peggy or Jill or Leonard or Christine first?

I did like the discussion between Brian and Justin, especially after
Stella telling Brian the same thing. Do tou think she and Justin had
conferred? He was at the same event to get the same information,
wasn't he? Brian should have been. He wants toboss but no longer is
really alert to farming trends,I think, and now maybe will really
retire.

I didn't listen properly to that part as I was busy waiting for disaster to happen, and I
didn't think it was going to be Adam's Yorkshire puds not rising, dramatic though that
might have been! I also realise that I my mind wanders (even more than usual) when I hear
scenes between Justin and Brian. Possibly also between Justin and anybody else.

I know, I do so agree. Particularly Peggy, she should have pegged* it yonks ago. I'm still
upset this morning. It was very well done, though, and gives scope for "younger" (how old
is Debbie now?) returnees for the funeral.

It's quite some time since we've heard Jenny in person and I think it's
far harder for the SWs to keep her there, but perpetually just out of
earshot, than for the older characters. This will be especially true
whenever there are storylines where the Aldridge family are centre
stage, such as Alice 'n' Chris, or Ruairi's life as a gigolo.

There was at least one major scene in December (Brian out shopping with
Kate and Alice) which I am convinced was originally written for JD and
had to be re-written - it was nicely done but I do not think was
conceived as a scene for Brian. That would have been written about 3
months earlier - in early September and recorded mid-October or a little
later. Since then there have been frequent mentions of JD being
elsewhere or on the end of an important phone call. So I believe that
when she was due to be booked for that week (there was another scene
that week that did not feel "naturally" Brian) she was unavailable for
some health or personal reasons (I have seen posts stating a stroke but
nothing has proven to be "actual") and this week would have been written
in mid-October - so a discussion obviously took place about the
characters development.

I checked earlier but there was nothing on the BBC website at the time -
which given the furore around Paddy and Adam surprises me.

What will happen to Jenny's shares in Home Farm? Will Adam come back to
take over from Brian if he does retire (as what?) and how will that
interact with Stella? Will Debbie come vack from Hungary and will Kate
have to cancel visiting Nollie, torn between the duties of a mother and
a daughter? Will Alice relapse?

My assumption is that Angela Piper has chosen not to make any
announcements and prefers to keep her health issues (or whatever else is
behind her leaving) private.

He may retire but I think it's more likely that he'll be trying to be
more involved again, rather than sitting alone in an empty cottage.
He's likely to drive Stella mad with his interference.

I presume that Paddy is Jill. I have heard Patricia Greene being

Debbie will comeback for the funeral. Would there be provision for
the shares in the original deed. Or would they go to Brian as
inheriting if Jenny made a will. Or might she have left them to one of
her children?

I think Kate will feel it her duty to go to SA to comfort Nolly for
her break up and loss of gran.The she will have her proposed road trip
to cheer them both up, using any money Jenny left her or Nolly. Then
she'll bring Nolly back to Ambridge. I hope Alice will have enough
support to be ok.

From the spoiler about today Stella is in a vulnerable position in the
long term but for now is in control, surely.Brian though won't want to
arrange a big loan as he will be mourning.

Ambridge is becoming far too Italianate: all those residents (and best
friends) who are plodding on towards or past their centuries. Italian
Ambridges like Acciaroli
<https://www.npr.org/2016/03/30/472442367/in-one-italian-village-nearly-300-residents-are-over-100-years-old>
seem to attribute longevity to anything from piety and pasta to olive
oil and free love. What's Ambridge's secret?

(Well deserved BTN, BTW!)
