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

[PseudoBadger]

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

[Stickerrocks]

Words fail me.

[bakeoffcake]

What an utter bastard.

[Boomingmarvellous]

OMG I can't believe knob is saying that!

[AnnieNoMouse]

evil bastard

[Toomuchtea]

I feel sick - I can't imagine how anyone would feel IRL whose partner was behaving like that.

[sunnydayinmay]

He's trying to get her admitted? Surely any decent psychiatrist will see through this crap?

[Boomingmarvellous]

start installing some hidden cameras Hellin and stop believing his crap!

[lljkk]

What game is he playing at... I know he thinks he's invincible and he wants to undermine Hell in every way, but why isn't he the least bit afraid that if he keeps inviting professionals into Hell's life that his web of control will blow up in his face. Someone give insight?

[Gruach]

Hah hah hah hah hah! Done with it now. This isn't The Archers any more.

Almost ...

[Stickerrocks]

Please let the psychiatrist insist on speaking to her alone at every appointment.

[gonegrey56]

Surely she is being drugged all the time ? Would explain the tiredness , brain fog, general lassitude ....

[Toomuchtea]

I didn't hear that - has he gone in with her or not?

[AnnieNoMouse]

He's probably hidden a recording device on her

[Stickerrocks]

He's obviously coached her about what to say. I hope she says "Rob says I...." repeatedly.

[AnnieNoMouse]

I don't think so TooMuch

[lljkk]

Online says that sleepwalking can start at any point in life... still suggests drugs to me. Shrink is alone with her but unless shrink does blood tests for hallucinogens or narcotics...?

Heck, Knob will find a way to make it seem like Hell got the narcotics herself & was taking them all the time. Is that the evil plan?

[Pipbin]

Is he going to get her sectioned or some such then keep the baby to himself?

[Stickerrocks]

So now it's on the record that Helen is trying to abuse Rob.

[Boomingmarvellous]

Just as I predicted! Hellin is conspiring with her abuser in her abuse

[Stickerrocks]

"I told her exactly what we agreed" Nice one.

[enochroot]

Arghhhhh

[SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace]

Oh I've had enough of this - why has the psychiatrist not picked up on anything? And why (and I accept that this must happen, so what I mean is, why oh why, it's tragic and unbearable) has being hit made her more rather than less apologetic and decide that Rob is a good bloke after all?

[DSClarke]

I tried this evening but had to turn off.

After the slap, are we just going back to more weeks of abuse. Like the rape; that happened and it was never discussed.

Please, please, please stop this!

[spiker]

I cannot fathom knob's motivation with involving a psychiatrist...surely after a couple of sessions they'd twig???

Are there any mental health practitioners on this thread? I'd love to hear an expert opinion on how this is comparing to RL.

[GrumpyOldBag]

Surely the CBT will help sort things out?

Rob sounded worried about the CBT...
