50 ways to leave your lover. Get on the bus Gus, give a knife to your wife, Rob. How not to write helpful storylines masterclass from The Archers.

Poor poor Henry

What number's this? 201?

I'm guessing she didn't actually stab him badly/deeply but he knocked himself out as he fell. I'm hoping he might come round and in true horror-movie style creep up to Helen and start throttling her just as the police burst through the door.

I don't think he's dead. But whatever happens, there's no getting away from it - after all that build-up, this episode was rushed and illogical, for so many reasons. Quite strange actually after the generally gradual pace of this storyline.

I thought the Helen actress did an amazing job , she was really good. And the dramatic tension was high, my heart was thumping. But I couldn't quite get past so many parts of the plot that didn't really make sense. Frustrating.

I wish they'd done it differently. Properly. WA and Kirsty helping Helen and Henry escape; Rob eventually being prosecuted.

Pseudo come back. We need you to post in 7 (or 6 or 5 by now) posts.

Ugh. I've just realised: are we going to have a re-appearance of Ursula as she sits by the bedside / tells the cops about the "I'll kill him" episode.

There are a lot of husbands wondering why they are getting it in the neck because a fictional abusive husband has been potentially deaded!!!

Not listened yet, but my guess is Rob is undead.
Is he wearing an I ait'nt dead label?

Will I get the 50k?

I believe you've got it!

No way am I buying the lack of support thing from the WA spokesperson. She has a great friend in Kirsty who has continued to support her even when Helen made it very hard for her to do so. Plus, her dad and brother were never completely sold on Rob. A couple of words from Helen and the troops would have been rallied.

Ursula and his dad? Can the budget stretch to that!!

Jenny you need to find someone who has access to the BBC's own Archive! Not sad in the least. Quite natural for a committed listener fed up of loose ends/unfinished business. Pity all new editors aren't forced to listen again as part of the recruitment process, at least to the most recent years. Just goes to show how little they think of their core audience or indeed of the programme itself! I'm feeling very patronised tonight.

Awesome timing!

Rob may well be undead, the Plarchers always knew it.

Well done pseudo. The 50k post had to be yours.

Where's that target emoticon?

Yay Psuedo

I think we should all boycott it for a month then see what bloody SOC has to say

I've made custard, but I don't think I could knock it up in the 30 secs he was upstairs.

Didn't he mean hear it up in the pan?

Seems a very elaborate leaving dinner. So people really have pie and custard for dessert on a standard night?

Place marking, haven't listened yet and lowfield isn't updated yet either! But it sounds like an episode that would be bad for the BP..... I really hope they haven't burnt their bridges with this sl.

It was rushed a bit, and it didn't make sense that she'd leave the bag out and send Henry to sleep... but I hope that fucker's bleeding out over the lino and she gets clean away with it.

Congratulations, Pseudo, how fitting that you got the 50,000th post.

PS. Jenny I'm only ever going to refer to SOC again as this cheap-shot short-term chancer. I think that's the most perfect description I've ever read.

Congrats, Pseudo - well deserved.
