    The Archers Weekly Recap: Amber’s Pregnancy, CCTV Mystery & Fallon and Harrison

    In this week’s All About The Archers recap, Philippa and Lauren dive into a packed set of episodes from Ambridge, covering Sunday 18th, Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th January. We discuss the shock news that Amber is pregnant, what this means for Brad and George, and whether this latest unplanned pregnancy really is the right path for her. Is Amber locking herself into a future she doesn’t truly want — and could Brad still have a part to play? There’s also the growing mystery surrounding the man caught on CCTV. If it wasn’t Harrison… then who was it? We explore the red herrings, suspect behaviour, and our latest theories about what really happened on New Year’s Eve. Elsewhere in Ambridge: Fallon and Harrison’s awkward reunion and the tension still hanging between themChelsea’s brilliant advice to Brad — and why it was our moment of the weekPaul and Ruairi officially becoming boyfriendsClive’s exit (for now…) and Brad’s sharp instinctsBurns Night, vegetarian haggis, floodlights and the question of whether they’ll finally reveal something importantPlus our Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, predictions, unanswered questions, and plenty of food chat along the way.

    Emerald O’Hanrahan Interview: Emma Grundy, George and Guilt in The Archers

    In this special episode of All About The Archers, we’re joined by the brilliant Emerald O’Hanrahan, who plays Emma Grundy, to unpack one of the most intense and emotionally complex storylines The Archers has delivered in years. Emerald talks candidly about Emma’s parenting, her blindness when it comes to George, and the painful moment when she finally realises the damage that’s been done. We explore the fallout from George’s injury, Keira running away, and why Emma’s “wake-up moment” felt so earned — and so devastating. We also dive into: Emma’s guilt, shame and fierce loyalty as a motherWhether families ever truly hear uncomfortable truthsThe realism behind George being welcomed back so quicklyEmerald’s thoughts on the ambiguous Truth and Lies episodeHow those huge two-hander scenes are prepared and performedWhy Emma is such a divisive — and deeply human — characterWhat Emerald herself has learned from playing EmmaAlong the way there’s humour, honesty, and plenty of insight into how The Archers handles long-term storytelling, trauma, and moral grey areas. A must-listen for anyone gripped by the Grundy storyline — and for listeners who love hearing how iconic Archers moments are created. 🎧 Contains discussion of recent Archers episodes.
