The Archers.

Is it just me thinking that Rob is dishing out cups of tea to Helen laced with some kind of sedative ?He seems very keen to keep making sure she drinks them up. Would account for her exhaustion .

[Prudie]

I have been thinking for a while now that the Rob/Helen story reminds me of the classic old film Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman. Surely someone other than Kirsty is going to twig something's amiss.

Kirsty's properly out now, isn't she? I begin to fear for Helen and this birth. Do you reckon she'll die and he takes over completely - or will she be brain-damaged? What about the baby if she gets pre-eclampsia again? I must look it up.

I don't think that a death will occur. Some other member of the cast will put two and two together and come riding to Helen's rescue. Rob and Ursula will be brushed aside and they will become irrelevant. And I'm putting a crisp 50p on it, that's how confident I am.

[jourdain2]

Hmmmm..... bookbinder. :)

And now The Telegraph has taken up the story:

As a result of the original article in the Guardian 4000 people have raised £62,000 for Refuge in a month via JustGiving. Amazing!

The bit I find unbelievable is that Pat would accept being told she can't see her daughter, she's far too nosey.

[zebo]

Well, so much for expecting Pat and Tony to ride to the rescue, they're as deluded about Rob as Helen! Come on, Tom and Kirsty, it's all down to you.

I felt it was verging on the ridiculous tonight. I shall really be glad when this whole thread is finished. We just think it's going one way then it changes completely.
