Discuss The Archers here. There's hut construction, new teen arrivals, pastured eggs, pining Pip and other fun Spring-like stories to choose from.

Maybe if we don't look directly at the other storyline it will disappear?

Shula must twig something now.

I think this is the start..

Hellins cottoning on!

Is that the sound of scales falling off everything but pat 's stupid eyes?

Bastard!

Oh no

Anyone feel another rape coming on? Urgh.

Oh dear god

Antidepressants? Oh dear, poor love. Let me know if we can do anything!! Byeeee!

I feel sick

God we don't really have 10 weeks of this left do we? It's very hard listening.

One to avoid?

This is overkill. We all get the point. His ending better do this storyline justice.

Oh yes Jess

Christ, there's no question that he's raping her. He couldn't have made it clearer that he has no interest in her consent.

Christ that was horrid !

I think she is going to do a runner tomorrow to Kirsty whilst rob and arsula are out. Surely being raped at 7 months pregnant is enough to tip her over the edge

But yes thought Fallon may be cottoning on. Hopefully she'll say something to Kirsty when she gets back.

I forgive you for hitting me. She didn't hit him. He hit her.

He's spoken to/about her so patronisingly in front of Fallon and Shula that they surely can't overlook it so it looks like the gossip must start soon. And it seems she was seeking out Kirsty.

ok, even I found that well sordid!!
But it felt real, too.

I wonder what Fallon thought.

I listened to the fantastic Chain Reaction with Sandi and VCM and didn't want to ruin the mood so I thought I'd skip tonight's.
Glad I did.

'I know what it is. You're feeling guilty, aren't you? For hitting me?' He's completely rewritten the whole incident in his head, hasn't he?

However, I take comfort from the fact that Helen was trying very hard to see Kirsty.

But there's some hope in the way Helen was so determined to seek Kirsty out and make sure that Rob couldn't find out?

Sexual assault is just another way of regaining control as Hellin was making a bid for freedom

Teaching her a lesson

Shuddering just listening to that.
