I reckon Rob is poisoning her.....

We don't know, but Henry doesn't seem bright enough to realise that all the red stuff leaking out of Rob probably isn't because he's sleeping.

Wow I am learning to make custard, not that shop bought muck 😆

He had it coming.

Hope he's not dead. It will be far better entertainment.

Lets be honest it sucks to be Helen 😆 there is not a lot of light in her life and it looks like it is going to get a good bit darker.

Nah, Rob's not dead, he'll keep going, like a middle-class Jason Voorhees...

(they'll have to consume him with fire, wrap him in chains, and chuck him in Arkwright lake just to slow him down for a few years)

Just heard the (possible) dénouement of the Helen & Rob saga.

Blimey 😯

I want to know

I don't want to know

repeat

Some good legal advice here l

Bloody hell. Didn't get any washing up done, just standing at the sink.

It lives!

FFS, why do I keep looking at this thread! Haven't been able to listen for last few days.

Apologies, Bear. I thought spoilers were implied here.

Oh, they are. I'm just annoyed I've missed out on the juicy bits 🙂

HAS ANYONE TAKEN THAT PIE OUT OF THE OVEN?!?

No point,the custard will have spoiled by now

Thank god she's got a solicitor! I can't bear this! Argh!

"No comment."

"No comment."

"No comment."

Are people really stupid enough to not get a solicitor when under arrest for a serious charge?

Nice work. Trolling a fictional radio character 🙂

I've ended up listening to four weeks of archers podcasts to catch up, painful to listen to at times

wait for Helen fans to bleat how the police are being heavy handed with her

It's a shame perhaps that they used Helen - who was always more than slightly annoying to start with... But obviously undeserving of this.

A big issue - and being handled well - and nice to hear a female policeman being the heavy-handed one for once.

I see they expect this story arc to continue for a year.

Helen is going to jail, who gets custody of Henry, has Rob adopted him? Storyline for years with Rob turning him against his mother and the ramifications down the line.

has Rob adopted him?

Yes. He's the legal father.

Rob's parents aren't nice people.

The pie is probably evidence now as well!

Dont think Rob went for full adoption in the end - he went for something quicker instead, for some unknown reason...

I'm desperately hoping Rob's gonna die, imagine if the bastard gets to bring up the children? Doesn't bear thinking about.

Also, undertones of Rob's father also being a controlling husband, v. forceful with his wife as they confronted Helen's folks....

Titchener's Masterplan[/url]

I don't think Rob will be the next to die...

Lynda Snell for me - Carbon Monoxide poisoning from Eddie's botched wood-burner installation.

I'm away. Any chance of a brief synopsis of most recent episode?

Ta.

Not much happening. Pat & Tony being morose, Rob hanging on, Henry having nightmares, Susan surprisingly discreet, Eddie thinks he's fixed the problem with the chimney in Lynda's summer house.

Thanks. Can't listen out here in the Orient!

The stand's acting like a Faraday Cage, I expect.

[img] [/img]

Tom thumped Jazzer for making a joke about Helen, sacked him as well. Tom getting close to Kirsty.

Can't listen out here in the Orient!

Can you not download the podcasts?

For some daft reason, I thought I couldn't! But I can! Woooooo!

Listening now.

Alternatively [url= http://www.lowfield.co.uk/archers/thisweek.phtml ]Lowfield[/url] is pretty detailed.

Esme, I've just noticed your email.

Apologies for not replying!
I'll take you up on that when I've got some fitness back, thank you for your kind offer.
🙂

#savehellin

Ha - just ignore Rusty, folks!
It's a private conversation, nothing to do with The Archers.

So we're not sneaking in and turning the machine off then?
Mrs S has made up a flask.
😐

#visitorsformrtitchner

Pan fried beef bao, spicy peanut noodles and catching up on the Archers. #standard.

Homeward bound thankfully, and the soothing sounds of Ambridge are helping kill the waiting time for my flight!

I tell you what is poisonous.....

Ursula.

Uberbitch.

Can it get any worse?

I think that Henry is going to be key to this. Something will hapen and Rob's lies will come tumbling down.

It's going on a bit now - I thought they'd spun it out long enough before [i]the incident[/i]. Now Lazarus will doing his business for months more to come. I actually look forward to the bits about milk quotas and Lynda's daybed now.

It'll be at least 6 months before it goes to court.

It's going to be a long summer 🙁

Gideon?

GIDEON?

As if the poor child won't have enough disadvantages already!

I'm waiting for Kirsty to unleash a whole can of whoopass all over Ursula.

Even Gideon Osborne changed his name!

Like father, like son.....

Almost felt sorry for Ursula. Almost....

Ok, I know, it was the Colonel, in the library, with the candlestick!
Do I win?

Go Kirsty! Go Kirsty!

Go Helen! Go Helen!

Well, that was rather emotional stuff.

The question remains though, who was it that Anna was told about? Jess?

Barley in the top field needs milking... or something...

😯

Going to be found not guilty of attempted murder but guilty of wounding with intent.

Goes to appeal and Rob the Evil Bastard has some kind of meltdown and the truth comes out.

^Is that the Sunday repeat?

How old is Henry supposed to be? He's sounded like he's three for the last five years.

So, two people have said that Rob raped them, while they were under oath. Surely he should have been arrested at least?

I suspect Bruce T's tirade in court may have sealed Rob's fate, however. He's going daaaaahn!

Not a re-trial, surely??

Fair enough Cougar 😆

We all know Rob is a bastard extraordinaire but can't see her getting off......yet.

My version is that she goes back to the slammer and lodges an appeal.

Meanwhile the wettest thing in Ambridge Shula tells about the sab and Rob does something else and it all ends happily around Christmas*

* could be very wrong as I havent listened to the trial as will catch up on Sunday

Just caught up with this.
It's bloody good isn't it?

Pigface, I KNEW the sab slapping would come back to haunt him - there's a lot more to come, I reckon.

I have a good feeling about the eventual outcome, although as this is Ambridge, I don't reckon Joe's got long.
It's his Farmer's Lung, he may have mentioned it.

Anna as a permanent character?
Hope so.

Some damn good actors on board at the mo, the cull of the tedious teenagers has turned out to be a wise move.
Always had my suspicions about Pip, btw, all that fresh air.
🙂

And who exactly is Toby paying off?

Not sure if we've had this yet?
Bit sweary.

Is Pip involved in some 3 way love trist? I am pretty sure that Elizabeth had the same thing going on as did Kate 😆

And who was Tobes visiting/paying off in Brighton, eh?

Not a re-trial, surely??

Hope not

Let Shula have her chance to put the final nail in Rob's coffin,then(if they let him back in to court) have Bruce T do acomplete meltdown and have to be dragged out in full froth. 🙂

Is Bruce worse than Rob?

Is Bruce worse than Ursula?

Surely he has get a visit from police regarding the rape allegations?

"How old is Henry supposed to be? He's sounded like he's three for the last five years."

Compared to friends' 5-year olds, 'Henry' does seem to be quite immature. I didn't know he was supposed to be 5, I thought he must have been 3!

Bruce appearing puts the pieces of the puzzle about Rob, into place. I think Rob's suppressed anger and rage will spill out, and he'll explode, and the two will have an almighty bust up, with Rob cursing his father for being such a bastard. Ursula ay also break down, and even possibly come round to sympathising with Helen.

But it's a soap opera, so good will come eventually. In real life, many, many women never have a happy outcome. 🙁

Last week I did Jury service.

The case was regarding rape and assault within a relationship.

Regardless of the verdict in the case there was never going to be a 'good' outcome for any of the people involved.

Surely he has get a visit from police regarding the rape allegations?

Nope not unless Helen makes a complaint to the police. Remember, he's the 'victim' in this trail.

So....an hour with the jury on Sunday! Includes Nigel Havers and Catherine Tate!

God. That sounds terrible. Hope they don't make a mess of it.

And Nigel Pargetter's back!

Here we go!

Denis the angry man... 😯

its like the referendum all over again...

rob to be charged with 2 counts of rape.

Slackboy, it has felt like a vehicle for discussion of the Brexit vote, hasn't it?

Also, obvious class stereotyping is obvious.

rob to be charged with 2 counts of rape.

can't be, he's not on trail

can't be, he's not on trail

Yes!

Now, Mr Titchener, the police would like a word......

I think the jury should have been found guilty. Worst case of phoning in a stereotype performance I've heard in ages
