Things To Do in Ambridge When Rob's Dead. Can The Archers get Home Deliverance for Helen?

[PseudoBadger]

Tim Simpson? Haven't heard of him before. Can't believe I listened to that, but if I'm upset I guess it's just my fault😡😱😱

Yay - they gave the advice number afterwards.... there IS help out there.

Poor Helen. And all the other Helens.

What just happened?

Aaaaargh [screams]. I can't bear it. I haven't posted on this thread before but I just have to express how awful this is to listen to. It's brilliantly acted and cleverly written, but it's so painful to listen to. It just gets worse and worse. How low is Knob going to drag Hellin before he is exposed and gets his comeuppance???

Jess, I think the fact it's on the radio makes it all the more real. Glad they gave the support number out at last

It's not Helens fault. It's not Helens fault. It's not Helens fault.

She is the one who is trapped in the corner.

I actually punched the air when she called him a bastard

even though I can't forgive her for being so awful to Hayley and Pat after John died

He crying is imo the single most abusive thing he has done.

But if he thinks a psychiatrist won't suss out what has happened he has another think coming.

OMG - awful to listen to! I actually get anxious at the beginning of each episode these days, but cannot stop listening. Where the hell is Kirsty?????

I don't understand how he could come back from what he said about Henry (which provoked the bastard calling)??? That seems unforgiveable.

SmallLegs that's what I'm hoping for BUT he or his mother have shadowed her with all her MW or medical appointments. Will this be any different?

I'm quite shaken by that episode

His mum will back him...

What happen den?

Listened tonight because I had to escape the bletherings of the ILs.

It really was excruciating to listen too. I get very jittery listening these days and just wish story would start to turn a corner, instead of things just getting darker day by day 😱😱 I really will be careful which episodes I listen to from now on!

Him crying will make her forget all about the nasty comment about her bringing Henry into the world, that was just awful. He wanted to provoke her.

I have never hated a character so much.

I think this storyline gets to us as it is so true to life in many ways ignoring weird boarding school idea, it could be any of us. It feels like the frustration of reading an EA thread on MN, people are rarely able to get through to the OP until they are ready to see it themselves.

I don't think Helen will be leaving the house for a while.

So did I. Fortunately, no one was walking down the road at that point - I did stay in my parked car listening till it was over.

I've listened to the Archers for over 25 years, but I'm boycotting it now: this awful, drawn-out, audio torture is making me too annoyed to bear. I'll ask my husband to tell me when the Rob & Helen saga has drawn to a close (if it ever does) and I'll resume listening thereafter. (Although he's fed up with it too.)

I can't see a psychiatrist allowing either a husband or MiL to sit in on appointments. Surely he's not going to risk that?

Bear, glad to know I'm not the only one!

Please let this be the beginning of the end.

I enjoyed the episode... signs of a woman with a backbone. She can find it after all.

I would like something about Rob roasting on a spit in next thread title.

Me too, but then what a let-down!

It's escalating. This is clearly the beginning of the end. There is a reason things have ramped up so much recently, it's coming to a head. Thank goodness.
