Archers Addicts 2

Didn't know he had hit her! What an absolutely horrible man, hope he falls off a cliff.

The Archers thread is the place where it's acceptable to indulge in pure hatred

Welcome annoaka

Welcome annoaka. I hope you will enjoy all the other aspects of GN as well as the Archers thread!

Thank goodness now I can have a good chat about this subject instead of shouting at the poor radio

Rob TITCHNENER. Got it right!

Hiya just came on to gransnet and can't stop smiling at most of what I read. Thanks. THE Archer's? Don't get me started. Rob Kitchener & his Mum?

I found last nights episode a bit uncomfortable I felt like I was hiding in a cupboard listening to it all happening. What will happen if Rob is proved to be right by the ' professionals' and Helen really is endangering the whole family by burning the toad in the hole? Also how is Cursula able to leave her husband and son for such a length of time or is it likely that she has escaped from a secure environment. I think Helen's next step should be to contact Jess and my next step is to get a life

I haven't heard last night's episode, so should not have caught up with this thread. Hitting eh!

I have just noticed that my maternal grandmother's half-brother married a Titchener. I disclaim all responsibility!

Waiting for time Helen accidentally drops onto conversation with ( hopefully) Tom that Rob hit her. Surely the shit will hit the fan then.

So Rob has finally hit Helen and as expected she is now blaming herself for driving him to it.

I was cheering when she finally stood up to him and finally saw him for the bastard he really is.

Short lived though.

Will a psychiatrist get to the bottom of it? Surely he/she won't be influenced by Rob?

Oh dear, it's so often the caring mum who gets the outburst like that isn't it. the safe place to loose it and also, the only place Helen can exert any control. Oh dear oh dear - what next! If Pat speaks to Rob or Ursula they'll take the line that they've been subject to that kind of mood swing, that Helen isn't coping and shouldn't Henry be off to boarding school. Arrgh

Bloody hell Pat. Don't let her go home!

Ditto!

Oh Pat!!

Ursula - patronising bovine! Let's have a masterclass in shirt folding?!!!
Watch out, there's a Helen about! Perhaps she'll meet a knight on a white horse!

Switched off the sinister Rob again yesterday. Find it impossible that with a whole village and family close by, the penny hadn't dropped. Just not enjoying this storyline one bit, it is so depressing and drawn out, get another scriptwriter please.

I am certain Dr Locke is going to feature in the Helen/Rob story soon.
Quite a while ago there was quickly placed reference to the effect that Dr Locke had encountered Rob T before.

Dr Locke, please ask after Helen and show interest in her pregnancy! Get more involved with the Archers!! (Not Shula maybe.)

Where did the vicar's midwife daughter go? It's time she visited the vicarage in Ambridge I think!!

The whole village is talking about what a lovely lady Ursula is so in the real world of grannies, Pat would be green with and determined not to be pushed aside.

Kirsty seems to have disappeared.

My worry is it won't come to any sort of conclusion till Henry is 18 or so.I do wish Pat would get herself round to see Helen. I accept that Tony persuaded her Helen wouldn't welcome interference but honestly - a pregnant daughter and a mum who is already worried. I don't know any mother who wouldn't have been round there, interference or no!

I fear we shall have to wait until well after the birth for this storyline to come to any sort of conclusion.

I suppose there is a limit as to how much story can be crammed into eleven minutes each night, but it must come to a head soon! Perhaps an Easter treat?

Please don't stop caring merlot - Helen needs you!

The absence of Pat is becoming totally bonkers - what mother would not have been to see her DD up the road throughout her entire pregnancy?

This is ridiculously long and drawn out now. If it were a book, film or TV drama you wouldn't have long to wait before the cavalry arrives.

We need a glimmer of hope otherwise I'll give up caring.
