So, Helen can't face telling Rob that at the very least the reason he needs to take a DNA test is because he owes it to her and decides to post off something belonging to Rob so she can give him proof that it's not his child ... except it will be his child.

When the world came apart, where were you?
I was mulling over what will cause the Brookfield sale to fall through; because it surely will. I'd set out to ride 130 miles or so on my bike today so I had a few hours mulling time.
Justin Elliot pegs it before contracts are exchanged. Probably a heart attack. Bonus points if he's arguing with anyone from the SAVE campaign at the time.

Justin Elliot turns out to be the father of Jess's child having participated in a menage a trois with her and Rob and is so shamed by involvement with Rob that he flees the country. Bonus points because Rob 'fesses up to Helen before the result comes through, Helen having submitted a test as per wiskey prediction, and he too is shamed into leaving the village.
Possible future Archers storyline is that Jess and Helen move in together to raise the sprogs together.

More depressing storylines 
Ed lets Emmur know the truth about their finances. Em calls the wedding off. Ed tops himself.
WTF can't we have TA storylines that make you smile and get a warm fuzzy feeling inside? That's what's sustained TA for the last century or two...

Although Kate is hilariously awful.
And WTF with D&R thinking that Justin Elliott will just let them stay on in the farm for 3 months? Why the fuck would he do that?
Building up to a lot of people being seriously pissed off, or worseI just love the kid's spend, spend, spend approach to money they don't actually have yet.
There is no way that Tiger would do that to Pusscat, no way. I'm ready to dump the archers except that I've recently dumped corrie for the same reason and I can only do so much soap cold turkeyWhat with that and Tiger disappearing for no apparent reason, it's just unremitting gloom

I missed that bit ... why do they want to sell it and then not actually leave?

Have to say I'm gutted they wrote Matt out.There is no way that Tiger would do that to Pusscat, no way. I'm ready to dump the archers except that I've recently dumped corrie for the same reason and I can only do so much soap cold turkey
And yes, it's hanging on by a thread. I didn't even bother to listen to the omnibus today.

The place they wanna buy needs its slurry fields sweetened and the robot milking machines in place before the cows can be moved to their new home.

FWIW Matt's still listed as a current character on the BBC TA web site. He's too good to write out IMO.

I don't necessarily want feel good story lines but I do object to losing people like Matt, without even a decent build up of dramatic tension.
Even if the actor had left (which I know he did in July), there could have been references to him acting strangely or being moody to get us wondering. Instead, acres of airtime is wasted on Grundy nonsense or lectures on milking parlours.

Seems like the DG is fed up of the nonsense in TA too.

Reading between the lines, I think the actor quit. But they could have replaced him - they've done it with everyone else
