I do hope Lynda has a carbon monoxide monitor in there...

Well to cut Helen some slack I think they are trying to show how traumatised she is hence not acting as you would expect, i.e. the no visitors. All she can think of is Henry and the baby although they aren't portraying that well as they could as I agree she is more coming across as unhinged. Am hoping the fog will start to lift soon. I think Anna's gentle but firm approach will be the key.

Yes I agree ColdTea. Anyone would be in a terrible state after what happened.

enochroot · 19/04/2016 17:11

I certainly didn't get the impression from The Episode that Henry had stabbed Rob but I am now starting to wonder whether our memories are going to be tampered with in the coming weeks/months.

Is SODOFF still scheduled to coincide with GADD?

AugustaFinkNottle · 19/04/2016 17:23

I was faintly Hmm about Helen having to ask her QC what would happen about the birth. She would definitely have been told everything she needed to know by the prison authorities, plus she's had plenty of time to ask her solicitor.

JessieMcJessie · 19/04/2016 17:24

ha ha no Pseudo it was just a caps lock fail but all the best homages are accidental.

DadDadDad · 19/04/2016 17:43

While we are pretty confident with the GADD (19 May) I think it's pure speculation when SODOFF is - wasn't late spring suggested, but no announcement of SOC replacement

SaffyRosie · 19/04/2016 17:49

Do you think hellin might kill herself in prison? She can't see anyway out of it, distraught at the thought of never seeing henwee again and knowing that she is carrying the spawn of the devil.

That would be a good story line and highlight prison suicides.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/04/2016 17:58

Unfortunately, SOC has gone onandnandon about how this is now Hellin's 'story' so don't think suicide is likely - although I suppose she could attempt it as art of her 'journey'.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/04/2016 17:58

sorry for typos Blush

enochroot · 19/04/2016 18:26

I'm curious to know what Rob's going to do when he leaves hospital.
If he comes back to BHC then how is he going to pay the rent? Is the joint account still open to him to plunder while Helen's in prison? Can her family get her things out of the cottage?

redshoeblueshoe · 19/04/2016 18:28

Bore I loved your typos Grin
Has SOC's job even been advertised ? Or s it a done deal ? My money's on Keri

AugustaFinkNottle · 19/04/2016 18:38

I can't see Helen killing herself. They'll be wanting to milk this storyline for decades, and it won't work nearly so well if she's out of the way.

Stickerrocks · 19/04/2016 18:43

I think that Rob is so brazen that he will tell everyone he will return to work at the shop, then express surprise when Tom tells him exactly where he can shove himself.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 19/04/2016 18:55

He'll snarl about tribunals.

We really need Pat and Tony to get in the shop and start finding stuff. Tom can't because he's got to cover for Jazza but Tony could do it silently. An impromptu stock check and rifle through the books should be a good start.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 19/04/2016 19:00

Continuity announcer just lost it about Tony galvanising Pat Grin Grin

Stickerrocks · 19/04/2016 19:05

That voice hasn't got any easier to listen to.

Bea · 19/04/2016 19:05

OMG!!!!!! He wants to see Henry!!!!!?????? Shock

Bea · 19/04/2016 19:06

Oh the trauma just goes on and on and on!!!! I want it to end!!!!!!!!

BeaufortBelle · 19/04/2016 19:07

I hope Pat and Tony tell Ursula and Rob to F* off.

Colabottle10 · 19/04/2016 19:07

My bets are he wants to see Henry to find out what he saw/heard to see if there is anything that implicates him...

Stickerrocks · 19/04/2016 19:08

It's the ultimate control over Helen though, isn't it. I think he will try to force Pat & Tony to let Henry move back in with him as he has parental responsibility and Helen obviously can't exert hers. He can then start coaching Henry in what to say when he is questioned.

Bea · 19/04/2016 19:08

Oh shut up TONY!

Wordsaremything · 19/04/2016 19:08

God Rob is ghastly isn't he.

Bea · 19/04/2016 19:09

I can't bear to listen to it!!! Honestly!!!!

Wordsaremything · 19/04/2016 19:09

Yes sticker I agree
