What day is it again?

Just seen antiboop's previous post. Must have remembered wrong, or just not got it over the medium of radio!!

Left alone with Adam after guests have left, Charlie admits he feels a failure but wishes Adam and Ian well. Adam begs him not to punish him further for the decision he made. Charlie has a parting gift for Adam. They embrace and kiss. Adam finally admits that he loves Charlie. He doesn't want him to go but he is an emotional coward. Charlie makes to leave, but Adam pulls him back and returns his embrace, in full measure.

That's from lowfield in January - the week before charlie left

Is 'in full measure' an innuendo?

I guess Justin will have a hard time getting rid of rob now

Bore

I thought Charlie was looking for Adam in various places but kept missing him and ended up leaving without getting to say goodbye to Adam?

I must have missed some vital hint.

Yes - I remember that scene and Adam telling him he loved him. I remembered it as a very passionate snog, but maybe it ended there are we were meant to infer the sex.

TheAntiBoop I'm shocked. How could I have missed that? How far back does LA go? I want to hear it as it happened.

I'm hoping to hear other characters' reactions tomorrow. Particularly Justin's.

Delurking...

I haven't been able to listen to the storyline - I've not been in an abusive relationship but people I love have been and I couldn't, I just couldn't.

But I've just started again from Tuesday.

My God Louiza Patikas is brilliant. I've not cried at TA since John begged Hayley to take him back and she just said "I can't".

That was after the sexy time dory

When rob told Ian it was very much implied Adam was having a longstanding affair with Charlie and pavel so I'm not sure anything Ian could have been told would be worse than that? He must have known rob would tell the prosecutor that as well 'poor deluded gay man who has a cheating partner - couldn't deal with Helen having a proper man in her life'

Ah, right.

Will Ian and Adam stand together and refuse to let Rob destroy their relationship? The Pavel thing - was JD the only person who knew about it? - more fallout there.

Would Shula be allowed to give evidence as she's been listening to other peoples' evidence in court?

Anna told her she wouldn't want her to give evidence because she's a liar and the jury wouldn't believe her

I took the last comments tonight to mean that the prosecution looked to drop the whole case? Rob's actions have been reported by two witnesses under oath- perhaps they see the case as unwinnable now?

I think Shula is going to spiral into depression - dick and Liz being the thing that destroys all hope she had

Errol It's like the Eastenders never shows people watching Eastenders thing - never once was Helen on MN for advice!

I always thought that Adam and Charlie had full-on snogging, tongues and all, but never quite crossed the line to Hungarian translations. Half requited, but never fully so.

I felt quite sorry for Shula this evening. Ignored by her husband, ignored with her cricket tea sandwiches, ignored by Dan (if only because he's doing a tour of duty or with Dorothy,) and then overtaken by Bruce, who has pretty publically greeted her almost as an old friend, and assumed she was on the Titchenor side, when she wanted to be there to support her cousin, but now everyone's going to think she's on the wrong side, and that's probably going to come back on her and the business more than Alistair's worries about if she told the truth to the police ever would. I should think she must be feeling pretty lonely and isolated just now, even if Caroline is there for coffee.

I don't get why Ian was so concerned (when he met Shula) about Adam's affairs now being public knowledge, which seemed to bother him more than their existence (not news to him). Who's going to bother reporting it? It won't make the news. I'd be surprised if any of the Bridge Farm Archers even noticed, they have other things to think about. Who are the other people in the gallery apart from Bruce? Is Susan sitting there with a notepad? As an aside, every time I think of Susan I remember when Clarrie suggested to her that they both give up gossiping for Lent and Susan innocently remarked that she never gossiped so there'd be nothing to give up!

Ooer, just realised - maybe Charlie now has no reason to keep quiet about Knob and may reappear?

^ this. I hope so.

Also hoping that the press coverage will lead to other victims coming forward. Pavel.

But no-one knows that Charlie is gay do they? So he will be outed? Isn't he bisexual as he had a girlfriend? When he arrived.

Charlie can have his job back and fall in love with Pavel. They will go for a romantic picnic and discover how Rob blocked the culvert.

I thought the girl people were assuming was Charlies gf turned out to be his sister, or did I imagine that? But the flirting between him and Debbie suggested bi.

I felt really sorry for Ian having to talk about Adam's infidelity in court - not really what he was expecting. And I'm not sure Adam knows he knows. Not the best way for that information to come out. I'm not surprised he wasn't up for a natter with Shula.

Dailymail I think the person that was thought to be Charlie's girlfriend was his sister. He brought her to an estate/Demara party in Ambridge and tongues were wagging but it was later clarified. Is that who you mean?

Which reminds me, Debbie needs to come and support her cousin, she had an abusive ex didnt she?(i forget the details...). Its been too long since we last heard her dulcet tones. And Lizzie. Anyone else in the clan?
