So, as the trial has been and gone, we are all glad that Helen won, and Rob had his true self revealed, will the rift 'tween Adam & Ian be healed?

Whose jam will be judged to be the best? Will Joe approach his final rest?

Will Grange Farm rent be paid on time?

Can I be arsed inspired to write more drivel rhyme?

Away we go!

Love Hard Cheese

A new job for Mel and Sue?

merlotgran Wed 05-Oct-16 13:13:28

This should explain it, Hunt

Hunt Wed 05-Oct-16 10:08:08

what is wrong with the Fairbrother Family? What happened in the past to make Granny so adament she did't want Toby at her party?Something to do with Elizabeth? I've either forgotten or I never knew!

Jazzer will surely have said something to Tom?

I'm glad Tom has put No1 The Green out of Rob's reach but not a good time for both him and Johnny to be living away from BF even though they'll be there during the day.

Not clear if Emma has told people about Rob in The Bull. Does Helen + family know. It should put them on the alert.

The danger of Rob doing something really desperate towards the Archer clan is increasing by the day. The most dangerous time for a woman with a violent or controlling partner is when she has left the relationship.

Tom in 1,The Green. Oh, dear. Rob might have had his eye on that rental. He hopes to buy but mortgage companies are very strict these days. Has no job yet. Maybe has massive deposit. ( no bowel jokes please)

merlotgran Tue 04-Oct-16 20:53:46

I had to laugh at Ursula reminding Rob he wasn't potty trained till he was three years old. I bet the SW enjoyed slipping that one in.

My friend had a reversal last year and got a hospital bug , became very ill , in a wheel chair and is only now recovered enough to drive ................. we can but hope ???????????

AyjayF Tue 04-Oct-16 20:36:19

Well done, Helen. The start of the Titcheners losing their power over you

merlotgran Tue 04-Oct-16 20:16:40

Good that Helen has realised how much strain it's all putting on Pat and Tony. Maybe they'll have a bit of breathing space with Rob in hospital then convalescing.

Well, please bring on the psychiatric assessment for Knob, only wish his shenanigans in the Bull could be taken into account!

merlotgran Mon 03-Oct-16 17:10:58

I also don't go along with all this 'Loyal Helen' stuff from Kaz, who obviously hasn't been listening to The Archers as long as we have.

Pat and Tony, Tom and Ian spring to mind for starters. hmm

Come on now, let's enjoy the jam packed episode and remember, this is the Archers, it isn't set in real time or in real life. Giddyjack may be an easy baby who is happy to take formula or breast milk from a bottle if mummy isn't there. Many babies are.
Also, Sunday seems to be a movable feast in Ambridge, didn't it become Monday or even Friday during the trial/family court period?
Whatever, I was pleased to hear Helen being a good friend and Kaz reciprocating.
Get those divorce proceedings started Helen, before Mr Narcisist starts proceedings on the basis of your 'unreasonable behaviour' or some other even worse none sense. He'd love putting Helen under stress again.

AyjayF Mon 03-Oct-16 12:03:06

Yes merlotgran. Yesterdays episode was jam-packed. Time must be very elastic in Ambridge land. We were led to believe the mother/ baby unit was a long, long way away. Helen must have started at dawn.
Rob must have rushed his precious moments with his boy. Very odd.

DaphneBroon Mon 03-Oct-16 11:05:55

I was thinking yesterday's episode must have been Saturday - cricket etc and that "Sunday" will form part of today's, but I am only guessing.
Didn't Helen have Jack with her then?
I'd better listen again today. (Slow handclap - gringrin )

merlotgran Mon 03-Oct-16 10:47:58

Yesterday's episode was a bit daft really. Although Rob's humiliation is music to the ears, how come he mnanaged to spend three hours with Myson and still have time to rock up at a cricket match well before it started?

It probably didn't occur to him that had he been allowed to play, the opposing team's strategy would have been to 'aim for the bag!'

Helen, in the meantime, drove off to see Kaz. I hope she expressed plenty of milk as we've always been led to believe it's a fairly long journey. There was not only time for Mother Theresa St. Helen to make a detour to visit Kaz's mother, who has now miraculously recovered and regained custody of the children, but also to convert them to the benefits of tucking into a box of Bridge Farm organic veg for their Sunday Lunch.

Watch and learn, Jamie Oliver!

Why is Ursula still staying with Rob? Surely Bruce is back from wherever he went and will be demanding that she return home.

LullyDully Mon 03-Oct-16 07:21:00

Any tiny shred of feeling a tiny bit sorry for him in the slightest has gone. Even over seeing Giddymyson.Didn't he have contact yesterday and they both forgot?

Iam64 Sun 02-Oct-16 22:56:39

He's going into meltdown as things aren't going his way. I'm with others who say he will become increasingly dangerous. I'd keep Henry and jack very close, make sure school know Rob is not allowed any form of contact with Rob and make sure Helen is safe,

LullyDully Sun 02-Oct-16 22:08:08

There is something coming surely. He is about to disappear up his own rear end in a puff f green smoke.

No.support in the village and he is losing his mind. Let's hope he doesn't hurt anyone in the process. He is trying his put down techniques on the whole village with little.success. what a nasty spiteful man.

AyjayF Sun 02-Oct-16 20:20:50

B.T.W isn't Kaz just fabulous!!

AyjayF Sun 02-Oct-16 20:19:14

Has word got around about Emmagate yet.Will add fuel to the fire.

merlotgran Sun 02-Oct-16 19:50:52

Cricket's over, hunting is next. Will the sab turn up?

Course he will!

DaphneBroon Sun 02-Oct-16 19:34:38

That slow hand clap was one of the best pieces of scriptwriting I have heard!
