No more walking on eggshells for Helen! Heading for an eggsplosive Easter weekend in The Archers - will Helen Archer be resurrected by the end of this thread?

[PseudoBadger]

Helen knows she's not cracking up - Knob is an eggomaniac.

Are we eggshausted with this storyline?

Just checking that you all know about the DumdeDum podcast?

I hope no-one minds but I reported this thread to MNHQ saying this:

I'm reporting this for a good reason (will be of particular interest to Olivia at MNHQ).

PseudoBadger started her first thread on The Archers in Radio Addicts three years ago. When that filled up, she started the next one and has continued to do so. Many, many posters have contributed to lively discussion on these threads. Today, PB started the 50th thread in the sequence and we are getting close to the 50,000th post!

I'm not sure if this is of any interest to MNHQ, but those of us on the threads are proud anyway, and I thought I'd tell you. What would be a fitting celebration? A new smiley? I favour a bull, denoting Ambridge (The Bull pub) and for whenever we want to call bullshit on a storyline (not an uncommon occurrence!).

And I've already had a reply!! (from Dawn to HQ) - here it is:

Thanks for getting in touch. We're going to flag this to the lovely Olivia and see what she can do. Love the idea of the bull emoticon (but slightly worried it would fall into the wrong hands...)

drspouse - I suppose a school that takes 5 year old boarders is never on holiday else where would the little mites go?

The tension is killing me.
I've been ranting to DP as one of his friend's is in the Archers and won't give anything away.

And I meant to say to everyone here, if you have other ideas or want to add weight to the celebrations, you could also report to MNHQ.

Another stage survivors often go through once they start waking up is hunting for proof so it is 'ok' to leave. E.g
Proof of an affair or of cocklodging or FA.

On an MN rs thread this is the Cue for posters saying you can leave anytime because you are not happy. (MN)

So I think Helen will start looking to check things she had previously accepted as fact.

I love her new cool fuck you detached manner. It is good to hear her reach this stage although if this were an MN thread it is at this point I start praying for the poster's safety

I've been following these threads since the beginning, rarely post, but great to hear all the discussion.

I was cheering Helen on last night, I listened on catchup after getting DC to bed.

3^D didn't Olivia promise us a cock emoticon. The schools aren't on holiday round here either, but if Helen rang the school even if no-one is there surely there would be an answerphone, she only needs to know he rang them.

shoes - I might have missed that. Maybe we'll get cock and bull.

surely that would get into the wrong hands 3^D

Alistair how can he be so cruel! What kind of friend is he.....and who does he play?

Just listened. Much air punching and "yes"-ing. I'm only worried that Knob will up the abuse now that he can feel control slipping.

Although my dp who doesn't listen to the archers at all you understand said that that might make him slip up

New thread already.

Ditto air punching! Well done pseudo and hellin.........

Alistair, Gypsy?

Knobs very quiet, menacing voice really scares me! More so than any shouting.

There's going to be some violence I am sure because knob sees control slipping away. But it will get knob in a police cell hopefully and expose him to humiliation.

Hello!

I wonder if Helen has thought about leaving Rob yet? She's acknowledged there is a problem, though I think she is still struggling to believe it sometimes. She's decided that she won't let Henry be sent away and that she's going to stand up for herself. Does she still think her marriage is fixable?

When Rob visited the school, he said that all correspondence was to addressed strictly to him and only him.

However, would the school be able to talk to Helen about Henry's enrolment even if it's only to say they have been instructed not to speak to her.

Maybe Helen uncovers this school paperwork and this is the proof she needs to leave

Schools often have their own printed postage on the envelopes with the name of the school on, or even embossed envelopes. If they they send Rob a prospectus or registration form it could be obvious who it's from just from the envelope and a bit of googling would confirm that the school takes young boarders.

A bit sad I know, but does anyone know the Farm Shop's opening hours over the Easter weekend? I want to know if Helen's going to have any Rob free time for thinking things through.

Farm shops are allowed to be open on Easter Sunday but there is the pageant to consider

Arrives, panting….

I was out last night at a dinner. Visibly tapping nails on the table wishing it to end so I could LA.

My GOD - what an episode. Not sure I can contain myself until tomorrow night.
