What do we want?
Realistic storylines!
When do we want them?
As soon as the writers see this!

As a Christian, how do you feel about conveniently flat car batteries Fink?

Hand of God?

Maybe rob will be struck down by lightning

SallyGinnamon · 02/02/2017 20:18

Dammit! I've only just come back because the HellRob storyline was over and now this! Surely no more soap deaths. FB seems permanently full of them. Not TA as well. I can't bear it!

As a Christian, how do you feel about conveniently flat car batteries Fink?

I'm actually a Catholic, which means I follow Tradition as well as Scripture. Tradition in this case is clearly that scene out of The Sound of Music where the nuns sabotage the Nazis' car. Kenton and Lily disguised as nuns would be fine.

Actor who plays Rob is very good. I know he s a rapist and now a kidnapper but I almost almost felt sorry for him. I wonder if his skills will transfer to TV.

redshoeblueshoe · 02/02/2017 20:53

Birds I have been saying for a very long time that I thought he would follow SOC to EE so they can replay the whole storyline

Cromwell1536 · 02/02/2017 20:55

I think Rob's end ('scuse the image) is nigh. Car crash, Jack survives, Rob dies, last words to Helen as she snatches Jack out of car.

BluePheasant · 02/02/2017 21:08

Wow lots to catch up on!

Well a kidnapping, really thought we were done with Arch-Enders Hmm guess Harrison will reappear soon then!Grin

Sorry but I just can't understand any pity for Rob, he might be in turmoil now but he brought it all on himself and if Kirsty hadn't helped Helen get away then he'd still be raping her and practically holding her hostage in her own home.

Totally agree the Lil and Justin affair is becoming so seedy. The whole thing with her having to make a speedy get away was meant to be funny but I just thought it was rather sad. Just a rich man having his cake and eating it. Why doesn't he just tell Miranda it's over Hmm

TheAntiBoop · 02/02/2017 21:11

I'm not sure anyone has sympathy for him!

Didn't the actor say he hated the abuse he gets for playing rob - so I doubt he would want the same role in ee!!

ManaFleet · 02/02/2017 21:11

Shameless placemarking...

DadDadDad · 02/02/2017 21:21

Fink - you made me laugh.

I'm glad after things got a bit tense on this thread earlier, that harmony has returned. Archers

Are we take it that Rob has been watching Helen night after night waiting for an opportunity like this?

Eastpoint · 02/02/2017 21:44

I am so glad to have been able to just turn the radio off.

I really dislike the scenes with Lilian cackling over Justin. I feel they make her seem like a silly old woman. TASWAMA. I intensely dislike adultery & am not a Christian (in case D^3 is compiling a spreadsheet).

BiscuitMillionaire · 02/02/2017 21:47

Yes, re Lilian, sorry if this has been said before, but wouldn't Jenny be a bit more anti-adultery, given all she's been through?

LillianGish · 02/02/2017 21:52

Storm related obstruction - sinkhole, flood, felled tree - place your bets.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 02/02/2017 21:56

I liked Roy and Kate. I love that they're opposites but that they've finally developed some respect for one another. They'd be great together now. He'd keep her grounded and she'd show him that it's ok to lighten up every now and again

I agree. Although it's hardly the main issue at the moment.

dirtyprettything · 02/02/2017 21:57

Just chipping in to tell you all that I'm a Christian and I love the lil/Justin storyline. Mostly cause I love the actors and am distinctly amoral. I confess regularly.

SynchronisedSchwimmer · 02/02/2017 22:06

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

I've got a three month old in bed upstairs and I'm only just past the entirely irrational bit of the hormonal post-birth tsunami. Not sure if I'll be able to listen tomorrow...

After the OH MY GOD JACK! Reaction I genuinely had a panic about whether jack was wearing a hat... anyone got Huge Canoes number so I can ask him?

Danglybits · 02/02/2017 22:07

Blimey, it's all happening on this thread!

Can I admit that I've only just worked out FOTTFSOF?

Have only just listened to tonight's episode. Yet more silly melodrama.

Pat and AA man to the rescue?!

maydayingillead · 02/02/2017 22:13

Gish - can I be the first to say sinkhole. It will be poetic justice for Robs lack of concern for improving soil quality etc etc

SingingAvocado · 02/02/2017 22:18

I don't know what FOTTFSOF is. Do tell!

wickerlampshade · 02/02/2017 22:23

fuck off to the far side of fuck

Megatherium · 02/02/2017 22:27

No need to be rude to Singing, wicker Grin

peaceloveandbiscuits · 02/02/2017 22:29

Must remember not to read before listening Hmm fool.

peaceloveandbiscuits · 02/02/2017 22:31

Oh Henwee Sad I've never felt sad for the wee gobshite before now

BluePheasant · 02/02/2017 22:40

So do we think tomorrow's episode still be Thursday in Ambridge? Is it going to be like flood week when one day pans out over a few I wonder. Or will this come to a swift conclusion when Rob drives into a sinkhole or a tree comes down on the car. I don't think the sw's will hurt Jack. Not sure about Rob though. I want him in prison not deaded!

BitOutOfPractice · 02/02/2017 22:42

I was listening in the office and heard my bf who absolute does not listen to the archers day "oooooooo! Jack!" as it finished Grin
