New Archers Thread !

[mikey4444]

Disappeared again !

Wonderful Archers spoof on tonights "Dead Ringers" !

[mikey4444]

And its a YUK from me as well, but it was hardly unexpected was it !

[jourdain2]

Equal YUK, but she's a big girl now and hopefully sensible enough to see this as what it is - zilch.

Re: Henwee - do you think Rob will use this upset at the local school to send him to that boarding school? I was opposed to this, but now Henwee is on his own with Rob and ghastly mother it might just be the best thing for him. How long can Ursula stay anyway? I wouldn't want to take over my grandson indefinitely (a day is long enough, believe me!)

[Hopkirk]

Like Mazie, I have called a halt to listening, as I am finding the R/H storyline not good for my wellbeing.

[Hopkirk]

I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.

[hellywelly4]

Bet Titchener Snr clamps down on Henwy. He might even agree to Pat and Tony's suggestion.

[ladybirder]

Go on Hopkirk - you know you want to;-))

[jourdain2]

It just infiltrates every so often, Hopkirk. Days can go by without it being mentioned.

[mikey4444]

If we think that Rob is a horror, them what word can we use for Bruce, his father ?

[hellywelly4]

Indescribable!

[mikey4444]

Snotty nosed little kid !....our lovely Henwee !

[hellywelly4]

I did start to feel that Ursula was a bit too subservient tonight. Rather over-acting. Maybe the scriptwriters have changed. It just didn't seem to flow as well as other episodes. Never mind, must wait and see what happens when Rob has to look after Henwee on his own. Don't like the Pip/Toby thread. She's becoming s bit of a slapper, isn't she. Has the previous editor left yet?

[mikey4444]

Pip wants a good slap as far as I am concerned !

[ladybirder]

Rob has had a good teacher in his father hasn't he? What a vile pair. Felt almost sorry for Ursula last night, only almost mind, then remembered how horrible and condescending she has been to Pony and Tat.
Oh and Rob, where is the money going to come from to take Henry on safari???

[zebo]

It will be interesting to see how Rob copes with Henry on his own.

[ladybirder]

Yes. I wouldn't like to be Henry in that situation. Oh dear.

[LennyDipp]

@hellywelly4 Ursula clearly has been bullied by Bruce for years. However, she has been conditioned (Stockholm Syndrome) and doesn't see it as bullying but as perfectly normal behaviour. She is subservient to Bruce, but a bully to others. Rob obviously takes after his father, and if Helen hadn't gone all stabby on him, she would have become Ursula in a few years time.

@jourdain2 With regard to Henry going to boarding school, Helen would have to agree to any change of school as she still has parental responsibility for Henry, and always will have.

[ladybirder]

And if I were Helen I would agree to him going to boarding school rather than leave him with Rob. At least he should be safe there. Lesser of two evils if you like.

[zebo]

Re boarding school, wasn't the original plan that Ursula and her husband were going to pay? In view of how he spoke about Henry, he's never met him, I can't see that happening.

[mikey4444]

The scriptwriters here are obviously trying to make Rob seem as horrible as possible, although when you start with someone like Rob, its difficult to imagine anything worse !

Until now !

[ladybirder]

They are making Helen's case look as black and hopeless as possible but we all know it will be OK in the end, even if the end is after endless appeals. Plenty more twists and turns to come I expect. I'm hoping Rob will lose it (his temper) and expose himself for what he is in front of as many people as possible.
