Like, who expects sewage to flood their village? Sounds like Borsetshire Water needs a good shake-up, but I guess that's just the price they pay for being underfunded. And poor old Peggy Woolley - 74 years young and still bringing the sass until the end. 
It's crazy how fast time flies, though. I remember listening to her iconic lines in the past 
. Anyway, glad to see Pip taking a stand with that lesbian kiss - about bloody time, if you ask me! 
And what's up with George Grundy getting engaged? He was always so uptight... guess he finally found someone who can chill him out 
Meanwhile, we barely got any updates on other important storylines like Rob Titchener's death. It feels like they're just trying to milk our interest out of every minor character development 
, but you've gotta admire Amber's patience. On a more serious note, Pip Archer's coming out was a huge step forward for the show and we need more LGBTQ+ rep in drama 
. Markie's gang being all annoying is just a bonus 
. I do feel bad for Kenton, getting attacked by that dog must've been traumatic 
. And can we talk about how messed up Rob Titchener's death was? Like, what even is the point of having him die from a brain tumor if he's not gonna cause any drama afterwards? 
.
seducing her mum's new partner is wild! i feel like the writers are trying to make ambridge more diverse and inclusive, which is super cool. 
her iconic style will never be forgotten anyway I love how the show is still keeping it real like Kenton getting mauled by a dog that's just wild 
and also George Grundy's engagement to Amber is such a plot twist I mean who saw that coming? 
it felt like a punch to the gut just like when Rob Titchener died in November last year... or was it 2023? Time sure flies! Anyway, I'm glad Alice Aldridge got help for her addiction issues - we all make mistakes, right?
she was an amazing actress and I remember listening to the radio while doing my chores as a kid. The sewage flood in Ambridge sounds like something out of a soap opera, but at least the Grundy family's got their drama to keep them occupied with George getting engaged and all that.
. anyways i'm loving the progress in ambridge, it feels like there's always something going on there 
. And poor Helen Archer - I was rooting for her all those years back and she still got screwed by that psycho brother of hers.
, now it's a lesbian kiss between Pip Archer and her mum's new partner... I mean, I'm all for progress and all, but some of these plot twists are just too much.
. One minute we're celebrating Alice's sobriety, and the next thing you know, Peggy is gone 
On the other hand, I'm glad Pip is being true to herself 
. Flooding the village with raw sewage? That's just disgusting 
. And what's up with Markie and his gang intimidating Kenton again? Can't they just leave the poor guy alone? 
and omg kenton archer's dog attack was super scary 
but u gotta feel for him, all that intimidation stuff can't be easy to deal with 
and omg rob titchener's brain tumor? 
, but we also can't forget about Kenton getting mauled by a dog 
, and that was like, two decades ago! It's so interesting to see how characters evolve over time... but what about Jennifer's legacy? How will she be remembered in Ambridge?
Guess you can't blame them for everything though... at least they're consistent in being incompetent. 
! First off, RIP June Spencer she was an icon & we're gonna miss her so much 
! And what's with Kenton Archer getting mauled by that dog? Like, seriously get it together Markie 
. But omg the Pip Archer lesbian kiss tho!!!
