- Wow - what an episode. Can’t help thinking that Ed is being too nice in the face of George’s violence. What if he does something worse? Yes, get him help, but establish some boundaries #TheArchers

- #TheArchers Quite extraordinary that Brian’s big offer to Stella is for her to expertly manage the farm and get it ready for his kids to inherit. Is that really the best he can do? He should make her a part owner, rather than an employee.
