^Is that the Sunday repeat?
How old is Henry supposed to be? He's sounded like he's three for the last five years.
So, two people have said that Rob raped them, while they were under oath. Surely he should have been arrested at least?
I suspect Bruce T's tirade in court may have sealed Rob's fate, however. He's going daaaaahn!
Not a re-trial, surely??
Fair enough Cougar 😆
We all know Rob is a bastard extraordinaire but can't see her getting off......yet.
My version is that she goes back to the slammer and lodges an appeal.
Meanwhile the wettest thing in Ambridge Shula tells about the sab and Rob does something else and it all ends happily around Christmas*
* could be very wrong as I havent listened to the trial as will catch up on Sunday
Just caught up with this.
It's bloody good isn't it?
Pigface, I KNEW the sab slapping would come back to haunt him - there's a lot more to come, I reckon.
I have a good feeling about the eventual outcome, although as this is Ambridge, I don't reckon Joe's got long.
It's his Farmer's Lung, he may have mentioned it.
Anna as a permanent character?
Hope so.
Some damn good actors on board at the mo, the cull of the tedious teenagers has turned out to be a wise move.
Always had my suspicions about Pip, btw, all that fresh air.
🙂
And who exactly is Toby paying off?
Not sure if we've had this yet?
Bit sweary.
Is Pip involved in some 3 way love trist? I am pretty sure that Elizabeth had the same thing going on as did Kate 😆
And who was Tobes visiting/paying off in Brighton, eh?
Not a re-trial, surely??
Hope not
Let Shula have her chance to put the final nail in Rob's coffin,then(if they let him back in to court) have Bruce T do acomplete meltdown and have to be dragged out in full froth. 🙂
Is Bruce worse than Rob?
Is Bruce worse than Ursula?
Surely he has get a visit from police regarding the rape allegations?
"How old is Henry supposed to be? He's sounded like he's three for the last five years."
Compared to friends' 5-year olds, 'Henry' does seem to be quite immature. I didn't know he was supposed to be 5, I thought he must have been 3!
Bruce appearing puts the pieces of the puzzle about Rob, into place. I think Rob's suppressed anger and rage will spill out, and he'll explode, and the two will have an almighty bust up, with Rob cursing his father for being such a bastard. Ursula ay also break down, and even possibly come round to sympathising with Helen.
But it's a soap opera, so good will come eventually. In real life, many, many women never have a happy outcome. 🙁
Last week I did Jury service.
The case was regarding rape and assault within a relationship.
Regardless of the verdict in the case there was never going to be a 'good' outcome for any of the people involved.
Surely he has get a visit from police regarding the rape allegations?
Nope not unless Helen makes a complaint to the police. Remember, he's the 'victim' in this trail.
So....an hour with the jury on Sunday! Includes Nigel Havers and Catherine Tate!

God. That sounds terrible. Hope they don't make a mess of it.
And Nigel Pargetter's back!

Here we go!
Denis the angry man... 😯
its like the referendum all over again...
rob to be charged with 2 counts of rape.
Slackboy, it has felt like a vehicle for discussion of the Brexit vote, hasn't it?
Also, obvious class stereotyping is obvious.
rob to be charged with 2 counts of rape.
can't be, he's not on trail
can't be, he's not on trail
yet,
and Bruce for one
Yes!
Now, Mr Titchener, the police would like a word......
I think the jury should have been found guilty. Worst case of phoning in a stereotype performance I've heard in ages

My sister has just served on the jury for two different abuse cases* and speaking to her, those sterotypes weren't far from the truth (unfortunately).
I think this Archers storyline has been gripping stuff and i had a big sigh of relief when the verdict was handed down. Now for the custody hearing 😯
*The first one was unpleasant enough that i hoped they'd release her from service, but she was called back in for another domestic abuse case. She had a pretty grim fortnight
Yes I'm certain that kind of ignorant dogma is prevalent. It was the hackneyed performances that got to us. An old theatre saying: if the cast are really enjoying themselves the audience probably isn't.
Didn't enjoy the hour long "special" too much.
Last night was excellent!
Pat putting the boot into Rob was great!
Agreed. The jury hour wasn't great. The doorstep desperation last night was excellent
Rob to miss the family court session due to being interview by Borchester CID.
I just hope they don't flog a dead horse now, they did well with the Grundy boys love triangle. Leave it bubbling under the surface for a couple of years.
Ha!
Suck on that, Titchener!
Pat hoofs Ursula in the slats as well!
Go Pat!
#PatSlats!
Ok my predictions were wildly inaccurate 😆
So what now for Tichener? Will he keep the job? Ursula Pat rematch ?
Are Tom and Kirsty doomed?
Can't believe I have been sucked back into Ambridge 😆
The Archers do like slow burn plots so maybe he'll hang round like a bad smell for 15 years and then when Henry and his son have grown up and try and regain control of them.
Thank God thats all over at last (or is it???). Next step is Rob being charged with rape then he goes on to kidnap Helen and Jack and then shooting himself during a Police siege.
Slow burn plots you say? Well I think I mentioned months ago that Eddie bodged a log burner into Lynda's summer house thing. CO alarm? I suspect not.
It seemed to be a bit smokey so I'm waiting for the first sign of cooler weather and an unresponsive Snell cliffhanger.
Never understood the appeal of soaps and I never listen- occasionally its background news- but even i find myself interested in this tittle tattle
Did Ursula swop the chutney jars?
Is there nothing this woman won't stoop to?
Is there nothing this woman (and her son) won't stoop to?
😉
Jazza should of given him a good thrashing 🙂
Can Ursula sew?Well, get her to STITCH THIS, THEN!
Sharp word in the pavilion before the Darrington friendly.
Rob being given a more than usually chilly shoulder by everyone. How long until he snaps?
I suspect we're in for another slow boil...
