Folge vom 23.04.202623/04/2026Helen welcomes Miranda to Ambridge after her move yesterday, before Kirsty asks Helen to be with her for a pregnancy test. Kirsty’s spoken to Erik, but not said anything to him about her situation. When the test shows positive Kirsty cries, thoughts of another miscarriage weighing on her, despite Helen’s reassurances. Kirsty hasn’t really made any plans with Erik, but is sure that he’ll do his bit, before swearing joyful Helen to secrecy.Ian turns up at the Eco Office with lunch for Adam, who chastises himself for continuing to work there as if nothing’s happened. Ian suggests a walk, vowing to support Adam whatever happens. Adam remembers how Brian first taught him to love the land, but now he sees the damage Brian has done and wants to rectify that before passing the land on to Xander. Adam can’t see how that’s going to happen, though. Ian then suggests the radical step of flying out to Hungary and talking to Debbie.Alice goes to welcome Miranda into her new home, but finds it difficult seeing how much everything has changed. Alice apologises for Brian’s behaviour before Miranda offers a tour of the house. In Kate’s old room Alice reminisces her childhood, then wonders if Brian was overwhelmed by the thought of too many memories. Miranda thinks it’s to do with Ruairi instead, but doesn’t know what’s going on in Brian’s head. She thinks he’s changed since around New Year, and wishes he’d told her before she exchanged contracts. But really Alice should worry about Brian, not her.

Folge vom 22.04.202622/04/2026After making a joke to Alice in front of Rex, about him being drunk on Sunday, Chelsea heads off to cut a bride’s hair. Rex then apologises to Alice for the umpteenth time for turning up drunk, inviting her to dinner to make it up to her. However, when Alice arranges with Chris to babysit Martha, Chris asks if she thinks he enabled her drinking. Alice assures Chris she’s never thought that. Chris doesn’t want her to be angry with Rex for inadvertently suggesting otherwise. Later though, Alice confronts Rex about it. Without Chris she might never have stopped drinking. And she doesn’t want Rex discussing her issues behind her back. Rex apologises for being over-protective of her. Alice just wants him to be there for her – and to apologise to Chris.The bride is Sophe, who fills Chelsea in on her previous big wedding and the cut-price version she’s having this time. She describes meeting her fiancé, Mr D, telling Chelsea he’s useless, but kind and soft-hearted. When he arrives it turns out Mr D is Den, Chelsea’s dad. Sophe is offended that Den never mentioned her when he met Chelsea at New Year, calling into question if she really knows who Den is. But Sophe still wants to go ahead with the wedding. Later, Den apologises to Chelsea for not telling her about Sophe and getting married. But he does want Chelsea and Brad to be a part of his new family. Sophe then cajoles Den into inviting Chelsea to the ceremony, and she can’t say no.

Folge vom 21.04.202621/04/2026Helen catches Tony, who’s heading off to market with David for the Anguses auction. Helen then leaves a message for Kirsty, telling her she’s dumped Dane. Later, Helen goes into more detail about how upset Dane was, before Kirsty talks about needing to speak to Erik as her period’s late. Kirsty then details their lax approach to contraception. Helen thinks it would be wonderful if Kirsty’s pregnant, but when Tony interrupts they deny they were discussing anything important.David tells Stella he feels Tony’s pain at losing the Anguses, but he is looking forward to a rare trip to the market. They compare notes on supporting Ruth and Pip - Ruth’s still mulling over being genetically tested. David reckons it has to be Ruth’s decision, even though it affects Pip and the others. While walking Cleo later, Stella extols the virtues of Spring to Adam, who admits ruefully he should never have returned to work with Brian. Stella empathises, she found Brian equally difficult and quit for the same reasons Adam is citing – mainly that Brian ignores the realities of farming today and has no respect for other people’s opinions. Adam’s grateful for the chance to vent, while Stella wishes she could offer more help.At the market David reckons Tony’s Anguses are the pick of the Primestock Day sale. He tempts Tony with the idea of taking them back to Bridge Farm, but Tony is reconciled to them going – it’s the right decision for the farm’s future. Later, Tony reports that they sold for a higher figure than expected.
