The Archers - 01/08/2010

Kathy's unhappy when Jamie takes her off his Facebook 'friends' list. Fed up with being checked on, he feels only Kenton trusts him. When Kathy nags him about accepting too many unknown friends, Jamie flies off the handle. Kathy asks Kenton to keep an eye on Jamie but, as she tells Ruth, Kenton refuses to do Kathy's dirty work. Kathy feels Kenton can't see how withdrawn Jamie's becoming. She remembers how supportive Sid was as a father. Kathy acknowledges how good Josh has been with Jamie. Ruth invites Jamie to come swimming later. To Kathy's relief, Jamie accepts. Desperate Fallon recruits Clarrie to help out at the Bull this lunchtime. Clarrie notes to Fallon that she has heard a lot of arguing coming from Kathy's house lately. Fallon confides in Clarrie that Jolene's better at work than home alone. They also discuss Eddie's sheep shearing challenge to Alysha. Clarrie privately shares her worry with Kathy that the regulars are starting to feel uneasy with Jolene. Her heart's not in running the pub and her mood is affecting the usual happy atmosphere.
