The Archers - 07/02/2008

Nic is exasperated when Will has to cancel their day out after an emergency call from Adam. Will takes her to Keeper's Cottage so she can have some company with Joe. However, later Nic's stress levels get the better of her, and she angrily shouts at George for causing havoc at Keeper's Cottage - just in time for a concerned Ed to arrive home and witness her outburst. Back at Casa Nueva, Nic tries to reason with Will and make him see how lonely and isolated she has become, and how hard it is for her to cope financially. She's about to ask Will for an allowance...but another work call from Brian curtails the conversation - and reduces Nic to tears. Lilian finds a sympathetic ear in Eddie, when she smuggles him a pasty. He listens to her woes about Matt, as she listens to his about his 'diet'. Lilian suggests that Eddie keep a diary: hers is helping her get through these troubled times. Eddie doesn't like the idea of recording his feelings about his body. David collects Ruth from the hospital. She's still sore and tired, but both she and David are delighted that she's finally back at Brookfield.
