I have just been browsing the marvellous timeline audio clips and noticed, in the early scenes when Pat and Tony get together, a lady with a Scottish accent? Combined with Pat's Welsh accent from back in the day, it's a cornucopia of Celts. Who is she?

Forgive the misplaced question mark in the first sentence - a mistake rather than a cursed Aussie-style rising inflection!
Though, while I'm here waiting for the flea, it was Joe's reference tonight to losing his Susan that prompted me to visit the timeline. Was Susan ever a speaking character and, if so, was Joe and Susan's marriage as idyllic as Joe makes it out to be?
Nora McAuley ... from Belfast or thereabouts, not Scotland. She worked at The Bull and at the time of the sound clip you were listening to was living with George Barford, who also appeared in the scene (though had previously been engaged to Paddy Redmond, father of Adam Macy, and then briefly married to Greg Salt).

George Barford was engaged to Paddy Redmond? Clearly in those day The Archers was much less staid than people like to think...

Obviously Adam "gets it from his dad", then.
I don't recall Susan Grundy ever speaking, although I could be wrong because I tended to dip in and out of TA in those days. When Joe refers to Susan I find it quite touching and wonder what differences there would have been in the lives of the Grundys if she had lived longer. I think that Joe lost his anchor when she died.
You have to remem,ber that Joe and Eddie were silents themselves for quite a while before they started speaking. My guess is that Susan died when Alf and Eddie were quite young.
Thanks for the Nora clarification - I did wonder if it was maybe Irish not Scottish.
The timelimne tells me that Susan Grundy died in 1969. Eddie was born in 1951 so that makes him 18 at the time.

There was a Scottish woman whose name escapes me in Ambridge in the early 1970s. she had some horsey connection I think. Brian was seen out and about with her at around the time he was courting Jenny, but it was all perfectly innocent...
