The Archers' Alice discovers Ruairi's secret after sad Jennifer news
Jennifer's death continues to cause shockwaves.
It was another upsetting episode of The Archers as the passing of Jennifer Aldridge (played by Angela Piper) continued to cause shockwaves across Ambridge - and beyond.
Alice (Hollie Chapman) and Chris (Wilf Scolding) went to London to locate the former's stepbrother, Ruairi (Arthur Hughes), to deliver the news of his stepmum's death.
They managed to track down Ruairi in the evening through an address Jenny had, but they didn't get a happy welcome.
The troubled student didn't want to speak to Alice and Chris at first, but the former admitted she wouldn't have driven all the way to London at night to spy on him – she had news.
