A change of heart, two kisses and a mauve revival - here's your take on events in Ambridge over the Christmas period...
With Susan's canon-ball Christmas pudding still clogging his intestines, PC Burns seized the moment, some mistletoe and got the girl...
Dear Father Christmas & @BBCTheArchers All I want for Christmas is for Fallon & PC Burns to get back together. Love Rebecca (age 31) [@Shippers1983 on Twitter]
I thought he was going to propose!! [ -@Cymraes44 on Twitter]
Hmm. That was a bit slurpy, even for me....but....aaaaahhhhh. Come on SWs, make this *the one* for Fallon, please?! [Fiona Caroline Messenger on Facebook]
If, in one year's time Jazzer is standing here, then justice will be done. #FallonAndJazzer #thearchers [ @ryanjohnscott on Twitter]
Showing united disapproval of the colour mauve, hackles rose as Rob took Helen shopping...
When WILL Helen wake up to Rob's ghastly controlfreak patriarchy? Can't stand listening & nearly turned off the radio. [Jane Blumer on Facebook]
I don't think you can get charged with conspiracy to commit murder against a fictional character, so who's with me? [@Abnormal4norflk on Twitter]
The most chilling part is the way Helen actually wants Rob to control her. Look how she is relishing being "spoiled" by her man and how flattered she is that he wants her to wear dowager clothes because he wants to protect her. [Elaine Masters on Facebook]
This year's look for the Surrendered Wife: Frumpy Mauve. #TheArchers [@jtwentyman on Twitter]
Kate returned to Ambridge and swiftly got her chakras in a twist when Roy came to visit...
Many things change in #thearchers characters come & go. But comforting to realise that Kate's as obnoxious as ever. [@liz_lizanderson on Twitter]
Aldridge seasonal family tradition: Kate flies in, wait 12 hours, go around the village and start apologising for her #thearchers [@andydmakethetea on Twitter]
Carol & Kate should get together for an alternative Christmas of chakra cleaning & herbal infusions. Sounds marvellous #thearchers [@Furtherfrom on Twitter]
Charlie's kilt proved the undoing of Adam as he succumbed to temptation at the Lower Loxley Ball...
Don't blame it on the contract. Don't blame it on the moonlight. Don't blame it on the hip flask. Blame it on the kilt. [@ExeterDormouse on Twitter]
Oo Adam *darling* you naughty boy and I bet he can't even cook. [@gilly38 on Twitter]
Bloody stupid Adam - you FOOL!!!! [Anne Thompson on Facebook]
Glad that Adam & Charlie finally got their snog but typical of drippy Helen to ruin the moment! [Maggie Mumford on Facebook]
Would you? This guy has treated him like dirt, patronised him, deprived him of work and income and more or less said he's just another thing on his want list. He is also a toxic piece of work . Adam is beyond pathetic. [Chris Walmsley on Facebook]
Jill had a change of (broken) heart and revealed that she could not leave Ambridge with David and Ruth...
The very last #thearchers Phil recorded was the sixpence in the stir up Sunday episode with his DoB *tears up [@jackieschneider on Twitter]
Glad Jill spoke up, but David's reaction a bit unkind... he's probably also wondering if he'll ever get another decent roast dinner if Ruth is left to do the cooking! [Ann Brosnan on Facebook]
Jill Archer's Staying in Ambridge. Frozen pizza for Christmas 2015 in Prudhoe #TheArchers [@Emily_Thomas73 on Twitter]
FLOS must have been spitting feathers as Lynda Snell's production of Blithe Spirit got an airing on Radio 4 [you can still listen to Blithe Spirit here]
I’d have like to hear Neil as Charles! [Camera5hy on The Archers blog]
Susan as Prospero Susan as Lady Macbeth Susan as King Lear Susan as Juliet Susan as Hedda Gabler Susan as Mother Courage#thearchers [@Ifwehadanyham on Twitter]
Well done on the special effects, Robert and Neil! #blythespirit#thearchers[@FranklinHabit on Twitter]
Elvira is the spiritual manifestation of Jess, isn’t she? #blithespirit#TheArchers[@FurnessGirl on Twitter]
