Can anyone tell me why Tony is so edgy about Annette? I missed the episodes around Helen's and Annette's father's relationship and his suicide a few years ago, so I don't know what went on regarding the two girls, though I gather they got on well with Helen. Perhaps Tony is just worried bringing up the past will destabilise Helen again? Or was Annette a real problem at the time?

She only came to Ambridge once (23rd December 2003 - 2nd January 2004) for 10 days, spent a lot of time in bed, refused to eat Pat's food, got naturally scared by a a dead bird, went skating.
He's also allergic to her nail varnish.
Wasn't there that episode where he locked himself under the stairs and refused to eat anything but pickled onions?
Yes, I expect so. And understandably.

Well, I think he is being a complete plonker.
Poor kid, it's not her fault that her dad was a bit if a swine.
I think he needs to lighten up. Helen is about 30 after all - what right has he to interfere?
Can't blame her - lemon & ginger cookies being the ultimate comfort food treat. God knows what they have normally, mung beans & rope I expect

No, it wasn't - until we had these scriptwriters. Pat has always done delicious stews, organic roast chickens, soups and sausages: also chocolate brownies, apple crumbles, and lashings of ice-cream.
The ludicrous idea that her meals are inedible has been a VERY recent fiction.
Anyway, Sonja overate and was sick after the xmas meal.
And I also refuse to believe that it was /Pat/ who thought that one oatmeal and stem ginger cookies is a "treat." It would be double chocolate chip cookies, and plenty of them, for crying swineherds. (That epi was written by a man with no feeling for biscuits or emotional food)
If Pat knew about these abominations at all, she had hidden the packet Helen had brought home from her shop, in a tin in the top cupboard, lest visitors assume Pat thought such awfulosities were acceptable.
IMHO
The SWs are getting Pat's organic meals mixed up with vegetarianism. They are, incidentally, completely ignorant about vegetarianism as well.
Well, Annette is guilty of being a teenager! (Ironical wotsit thingy.)
And visiting stepchildren tend to be bad news in Ambridge, don't they?
Hazel, Simon P., Leonie/Coriander ...
And many other things, mores the pity.

Doesn't Tony just have an irrational thing about "outsiders worming their way" into the family? I completely went off him after he backed Helen over Hayley and the pigs.

There is an Archers bonkers gene which Jack passed on to Tony and Tony passed on to Helen. As Tony spends 90% of his waking life tending root vegetables it doesn't usually have much chance to show itself in his behaviour, but if those leeks could talk (to somebody apart from Tony) they could tell a few tales.

So the reason for the New Poogoons, is that Helen sits among the cabbages and leeks?

It's only Brian who was reluctant to eat Pat's home cooking.
