Come in to The Archers thread - we've redecorated! Take a seat in that distinctive yellow chair and discuss events in Ambridge.

[PseudoBadger]

New thread for tonight's episode.

Do you like the decor then? My 'personal' assistant did it.

He needs to be dismissed for SOSR some other substantial reason. Notwithstanding ill health capability and performance related capability.
But Beau, is that the case if he can't go for unfair dismissal and only breach of contract. Can't they just terminate the contract without reason, prOviding they give him sufficient notice?

'upper class eggs...'
rubbish idea!

why doesn't she just ask WHY

Oh Helen's just pissing me off now, and there's no way a barrister wouldn't be pressing her for the full facts.

Does that mean Helen has given up? Maybe we just don't need to hear from her if she wants to be alone so badly.

OK, I've been patient, but I'm really hacked off now with SOC trying to spin this out and ramp up the tension for no sensible reason whatsoever. Especially when he does it in such a way that the entire country is yelling at the radio telling Helen to stop being so bloody stupid and work out that the only way she'll save Henry is doing something to defend herself.

So close! Anna just needs to find out why Helen wants to keep Henry safe from Rob. I do hope that the conversation is carrying on now and Helen is explaining her fears. It is so tantalising and I think we are being deliberately drip fed information so we can't see how Helen is going to escape a long prison sentence. Then the Ambridge Fairy will swoop in and do her stuff and lots will be revealed and Rob will be shown up (I'm an incurable optimist)

Gasp I got offered a seat on a crowded train a few weeks ago. I was mortified as my baby bump is a teenager!

Going grey helps there Stickerrocks, although a few times recently I've been offered a seat and I think the youthful commuters concerned see me as a doddery old crock! I'm 54, not 84!

FFS, Helen. Just LA. ENOUGH already. Why didn't Anna ask her why she is so adamant she doesn't want visitors? why Henry can't be left with Henry etc. Just stupid and boring now. Making me lose sympathy with Helen which is quite something as I've never been in the 'loathe Helen' camp. realise this sounds like victim blaming, but there it is - I can't help myself

That was such a non-episode, so little happened. So glad Anna's not real.

Apart from SuperPip the Beef Baroness on her first step to world domination. Are they trying to bore us into submission?

Pseudo Thankyou for the new thread, not had a chance to post up till now. I quite fancy me a yellow chair

Well maybe she's begun working out how Rob manipulated her on PR and she might work out the rest - manipulating his way into the business, isolating her from friends, making her feel worthless and so on.
If she can put it all together she might have a germ of a defence but I hope Anna can get her to say more about Rob forcing the knife into her hand.

I wonder if David remembers the conversations he had with Charlie over Rob blocking the culvert. Perhaps he could tell someone.

They all seem clueless.

Gypsy "beef baroness" one small step from "mega cow". I quite like Pip but first time I've spat wine at the screen on this threw for a long time

Gasp My DH describes me as looking like a badger's bum - I am grey!

FGS. Why doesn't anyone think of asking WHY Helen was leaving Rob? Surely she can remember things from before the incident. Maybe that will start them on the right track of building a case against him.

I find it all very unconvincing that Helen is ready to give up and let Rob take Henry away. She said 'all I care about is getting Henry away from Rob, you've got to help me'. So.. Tell Anna what Rob was like and get yourself out of prison ffs!!

Can't listen to more of this and the other stories are pretty boring. Upper class eggs! Rubbish!

Not drunken Sara ORGANIC

We only eat organic ,really free range upper class eggs, they are not rubbish they taste A MAZ ING. So there eggists.

Just name changed after re-de-lurking.

I just want Helen to do one now. It's not victim blaming, it's ridiculous, self-pitying, stubborn, self-sabotaging person blaming. I'm so completely and utterly done with this storyline that even Pip and her annoyingness is more appealing. I'm this >< close to giving up on TA until Rob's exposed. Gah!

I too only eat top of the range, organic, free ranged, flower bedded pastured eggs. £3.50 for a half dozen eggs or £12 for a hen from a woman up the road that will lay about 20 eggs a month for years. I'm well in profit

(Apologies if that sounded punchably irritatingly smug. It was meant as a comment on the massively over inflated price of ToffEggz.)
