Hard as it is to believe, every so often people choose to leave Ambridge... or even depart this mortal coil. Their absence is felt keenly by those left behind. If Archers fans had the power to lure someone back - who would they choose? Here's their Top 5...
5. Debbie: "centre stage forever"
She's the apple of eye and an occasional visitor to Home Farm from her base in Hungary. With her deep empathy, razor-sharp perception and no-nonsense approach to everything, some might wonder if all of Ambridge's problems would be solved if was here all the time...
4. Kathy / Mike Tucker
In joint fourth place we have , manager of Grey Gables and now resident with and daughter Bethany in Birmingham.
"Let Kathy speak again!" [Gill Jennison on ]
"Bring back Mike, Vicky and Bethany, I miss them. Give Kathy her voice back." [Jane Follows on ]
3. Charlie Thomas
He arrived in Ambridge to manage the herd at Berrow Farm but got up to rather more... could have led to the end of and Adam... but it seems that many Archers listeners found Charlie as hard to resist as Adam did...
"I want to see Adam and Charlie together. It was so romantic!!" [Dionne Pamela Johnson on ]
"Charlie comes back and gets off with Adam. Ian and Helen have a relationship." [Christine Scarlett on ]

Key moments from this complex relationship...
2. Nigel
This one might prove tricky after his tragic fall from the roof of Lower Loxley, but Archers fans won't let a little thing like mortality get in their way...
"Nigel comes out of the shower and tells Elisabeth that he dreamt that he fell off the roof!!!!" [Stuart Holbrook on ]
Or if that proves impossible...
And failing that...
1. Bring back Lexi!
She came to pick strawberries, she left with heart. Bulgarian managed to fit in a lot in her short time in Ambridge - supporting through a pregnancy scare and defeating in The Flower & Produce Show. But by far her greatest conquest was her conquering of Roy's heart. They knew it couldn't last, but Archers fans are keen for Roy's love spreadsheet to be consigned to the trash forever and love to reign twixt our star-crossed lovers...
"Forget all that, I want Roy and Lexi story to continue!" [Ben Stericker on ]
