Stefan told David and Jennifer and NOTHING HAPPENED?!

Bloody hell.

Could Rob be the arsonist? If so, is it pleasure or does he have another motive?

I can see the cows being nicked by Rob for money.

glowfrog · 22/03/2016 20:45

Ditto the church money, though that could be Alf, I guess.

Boomingmarvellous · 22/03/2016 20:54

Lisa must be me. Grin It's what I've been saying all along. Especially getting rid of Ursilla to ramp up the pressure on Hellin. And sadly not porridge for knob, but he will play endless games with custody issues.

BYOSnowman · 22/03/2016 20:54

Did rob steal the cash from clarries purse too? We can't blame him for everything!!!

BirdintheWings · 22/03/2016 21:20

Oh, he probably greased the roof for Nigel too...

DadDadDad · 22/03/2016 21:27

My theory is that Rob also stole a time machine and went back to start the fire that killed Grace Archer. Oh, and on the way back he stopped on LL roof and pushed Nigel off. Shock

Very interesting blog.
And if this story saves even one woman – or man – from domestic abuse, won’t that be wonderful?

I must remember this when the Hel/Rob SL becomes unbearable.

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 22/03/2016 21:40

Sorry Gasp Flowers

glowfrog · 22/03/2016 21:47

Bird D^3 hahahahahaha!

Hello I popped in once a few threads back, but really I'm a lurker.

I wonder if Rob will be arrested for the culvert/flood crime and Helen will gradually realise how awful he's been.

I once went to a wedding where the bride and groom walked out of the church to the archers theme played on the organ, was fab.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 22/03/2016 22:20

Mitford (great name, btw) now that would be a coup - Rob arrested for the culvert and the rest unravels subsequently. I would love that.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 22/03/2016 22:21

Apologies, Mitford - I should have said terrific name.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 22/03/2016 23:38

lorek, gruach was I think the original link to that blog. I liked the psychological profiles in the related blog.

Also she said same as me re. Kirsty and Helen. Don't break confidence just be there. And re. Helen and BS - that she might let him go but P and T won't.

ElementaryMyDear · 22/03/2016 23:45

Grumpy, you should really have said "Terrific name, do admit". Smile

ElementaryMyDear · 22/03/2016 23:47

I did take issue with the assumption in that blog that Ursula couldn't be responsible for the over-hot bath water or putting up the oven heat so the Toad in the Hole burnt. I thought she might well be responsible for both.

glowfrog · 23/03/2016 03:39

But when she was talking to Rob about the burnt dinner, she sounded quite sincere. It's a really creepy thought that they were both separately doing this kind of thing without consulting each other?!

glowfrog · 23/03/2016 03:47

RE: the blog - seemed a strange leap to ask if Ursula might be a child abuser. She gives me the creep, too but I didn't think she was being weird about Henry wetting the bed or Helen's pregnancy.

mummytime · 23/03/2016 06:39

Re the culvert - David did kind of tell Charlie about the conversation with Stefan, but couldn't mention the name. Charlie then tried to investigate, and even talked about wanting to talk to Stefan. But by then Stefan had "gone back to spend time with his family". And when Charlie found evidence of wrong numbers, Rob fobbed him off then stormed off and threatened Charlie which lead to Charlie having to go and "farm fish".

glowfrog · 23/03/2016 07:15

I can see how maybe that's all David could do as it was hear-say but still... Angry

BertrandRussell · 23/03/2016 07:59

I can't express how scared I am that the abuse will turn out to be all Ursula's fault.

And exactly when did Pat and Tony last see Henry? Improbable foot scalding incident aside. They didn't see him on his birthday, at Christmas,, on Mother's Day. They're now not seeing him at Easter............

redshoeblueshoe · 23/03/2016 08:14

Isn't he going for Ursula's leaving Tea Party on Thursday ?

EmilyDickinson · 23/03/2016 08:16

Pat saw Henry in the shop on Sunday when he was building his jam pyramid and he's coming round on Thursday for the tea party and staying the night. I suspect that Pat and Tony see plenty of Henry as Henry can be relied on to parrot whatever Rob tells him.

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 23/03/2016 08:30

You'd hope - although he doesn't seem to have done any helpful parroting so far!

(Down with the horrible counter-honnish Rob!)
