Maybe Charlie will tell Adam the truth about Knob's resignation? And set the ball rolling for Knob's downfall.

Hope Charlie stays, I can't imagine him enjoying life on a fish farm!

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 15/01/2016 19:21

But Gruntled Rob has only ever been the victim in life - poor chap.

Childhood neglect
Unhappy marriage
Fell in love with H
Bullied out of a job

All he has ever tried to do is his very best

Roy is just a screw up.

PerspicaciaTick · 15/01/2016 19:23

God bless the continuity announcer.

And this is more for the soundtrack than the pictures :)

3littlefrogs · 15/01/2016 19:26

Oh! no, no, no!
I have been shouting at the radio and now I have to have a sit down and a glass of wine.

I have gone right off Adam for a start.
Poor Ian.
And Rob is a bastard. Angry

(If DH was here he would be saying "it's only a story...).

BertrandRussell · 15/01/2016 20:18

Jesus-"starting to fill out" "picture of health" Angry

AbsoluteBeginners · 15/01/2016 20:20

Oh b h if Charlie does that to the loathsome Knob, at least Hellin's problems will come to bloodstained halt...

Precisely how long can Knob get away with provoking all and sundry, anyway? If the SW are trying to drag the sl out over a realistic timeframe, they should stop inciting people to go at him with a spanner/carving knife/riding crop a la Cluedo...it's not Eastenders, after all! (Hard stare at SOC)

fredabear · 15/01/2016 20:32

H thinks knob is poisoning Hellin, I'm not so sure, drugging yes

gone right off Adam now Angry

BYOSnowman · 15/01/2016 20:40

I do fear we will have an eastenders style ending tbh

BertrandRussell · 15/01/2016 20:41

Adam is such a git!

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 15/01/2016 20:52

Yy Adam. I am very disappointed in you.😐

GruntledOne · 15/01/2016 21:05

Is Helen due to see a midwife soon? Surely they're not going to be too happy with her state of health?

BYOSnowman · 15/01/2016 21:07

As this is soc world she's probably not due another mw visit until the birth

So did anyone catch Adam? I didn't get to listen I was cuddling a sick child to sleep

HumphreyCobblers · 15/01/2016 21:09

What did Adam do? Not sure I can bear to listen!

whatevva · 15/01/2016 21:09

Did anything come of the snog - did Adam promise to love Charlie and follow him to the fish farm, or was that it??????

It broke my radio and it veered off channel just at that moment, and when I got it back, they were on Front Row Sad

FinestGrundyTurkey · 15/01/2016 21:13

iirc the "I love" was used & it didn't have Ian at the end of it Sad

HumphreyCobblers · 15/01/2016 21:15

nooooo

whatevva · 15/01/2016 21:17

I thought so. It shocked my radio. Shock

JessTitchener · 15/01/2016 21:17

DH broke the golden rule and spoke to me during tonight's and I missed what Hellin said that caused knob to go mental about Kirsty. Can someone fill me in please?

whatevva · 15/01/2016 21:21

I can't remember exactly - just that she did not look well. He responded as if it was a gross personal insult worthy of a diplomatic incident. Way over the top.

BYOSnowman · 15/01/2016 21:26

Just read lowfield

Sounds like the echo article didn't do rob any favours so that's good

FinestGrundyTurkey · 15/01/2016 21:31

I thought it was ironic that Rob said Helen is positively blooming when that's exactly what Kirsty said she should be, but isn't

Helen stuck up for Kirsty stoutly too...

I do hope she won't roll over yet again Sad

BertrandRussell · 15/01/2016 22:26

And she will hear "fat"......

Why does Rob not want her to eat? I would have thought he'd be worried about the effect on the baby. Unless he wants to make damn sure she can't breastfeed?

Butteredparsnips · 15/01/2016 22:29

Can we give the continuity announcer a Boop point?

And Adam a very hard stare. Hmm

BYOSnowman · 15/01/2016 22:37

Poor Ian. I guess that's him written out and a vacancy for a new chef character that fits socs melodrama

But were they still at home farm? Where is the suggested slagging going to take place?

polyhymnia · 15/01/2016 22:44

Please can someone kindly let those of us who missed it know what Adam did??
