The Archers

Available for over a year

Keira has a horrible toothache, and Clarrie manages to get her an emergency appointment. Eddie takes Keira, after a brief stop to see the baby. The health visitor confirms all’s ok - Amber’s so relieved, having had concerns about feeding, and lets Keira have a hold of the baby. Amber feels silly for being so emotional but is reassured, as the health visitor offers support with pain and comfort – and points out that Keira is a great helper. Amber avoids Anne Marie coming over, convinced her own place is a tip. She takes the baby to the showroom, where Anne Marie’s working, and her mum checks in on her wellbeing. Amber says she had a wobble, but she’s fine now – she’s loving it. Eddie and Clarrie gossip about Harrison and Lily – Eddie thinks it’s official, according to Ed. Clarrie thinks Fallon will be livid. Keira’s embarrassed by Eddie chatting with everyone in the dentist waiting room, arguing about turkeys! It appears there was nothing wrong, so Keira now worries she’ll be seen as making her toothache up. Eddie comes up with a way to avoid that, and agrees to let Keira stay off school the rest of today . Keira’s grateful to Eddie and they pay a visit to George who’s working at Bill Gordon’s showroom. Eddie starts asking car questions to Anne Marie, each not realising who the other is, before Amber introduces them. Eddie invites Anne Marie and Bill to the ‘cider wetting of the baby’s head’ on Wednesday night. Amber says there’s no need, but Anne Marie is delighted to accept.
