Knowing that Ruairi is 18 next week, I wondered whether Siobhan had left
him a letter to be opened on his birthday, and that letter contained
some shocking information. I have checked when Ruairi's birth date is,
though, and he was born on the 14th, so that doesn't quite fit.

The alcoholic inheritance does make a lot of sense, but another ghost in
Jenny's past is Siobhan, which might fit in with Ruairi revealing what
he discovered on Monday. But this is still before his birthday, so I
think not, on the whole.

But the 14th is on Saturday (no TA) and, if there is some sort of trust
which will come to him on his 18th birthday, it would not be unreasonable
for a Solicitor's letter to arrive for him on the Monday before.

But a Trust is unlikely to be a shocking discovery. And he must have
been told that his parents were not married at the time. We also assume
he has been popping off to Ireland to see his maternal grandparents so
what can there be that is "shocking". The whole village knows the story.

Yes, she had a huge win on that ‘orse she jointly owned with Briony but she
‘inadvertently’ forgot to tell him about the win. I think they have
invested the winnings with Matt and are living happily ever after - but
Shovehorn has no time in her life for Rouriadddidad so is not disclosing
her whereabouts to the family solicitor.

Am I being picky to think his reaction unlikely? It would be very
touching to hear his mum's voice but why so upset? My dad died when I
was seven. Iwould have loved a cd of him talking as I can't remember
his voice either. They didn't have a way to record voices easily
then.1952.

I think his reaction sounded pretty plausible to me. He doesn't come
across as being someone who is particularly in touch with his feelings
and he's probably buried a lot of his feelings about his mother pretty
deeply. Particularly as he won't have been able to talk about her much
with Brian and Jenny as he was growing up. This CD could easily stir up
a lot of stuff that he's been avoiding for years.

[krw]

Particularly as he won't have been able to talk about her much with
Brian and Jenny as he was growing up.

I remember Biriani taking Ruari up the Millennium woods and showing him
some where they could talk about his mother without bothering Jenny
Dahling or he could go on his own. Biriani made it clear that he wanted
to be able to talk about his mistress to his son.

But that's by no means the same as Ruari talking about his mother with
Brian. I can't imagine Brian having anything like the empathetic skill
set to listen to his son.

Exactly. As Brian proved last night, he has precisely zero empathy.
Yes, he did recognise that Ruairi would need to talk about his Mum but
that's very diferent from actually being able to, in practice.

Jenny was excellent. She moved at once into mum mode,as if he were a
real child of hers. I wish Alice would cofide in her. We like to sneer
at her but she has not had a pampered time all her life. Publican's
daughter, drinkard dad, mum did support her though through two
pregnancies.

Doubt that they would bring the actress in just to record such a message; I
suspect we will just hear a report of the message.

That certainly seems the most likely. It's possible though that they'll
have got their sound engineers busy and used snippets of Siobhan
talking, from 18 or so years ago.
