Ooh Rob has stropped out of his job. Luckily he has 10 grand in his joint bank account with his doormat, sorry wife.

ooh, will have to catch up? Jumped before he was pushed?

Have I missed something?

When did the cunt Titchener get his paternity results back?

back in April, iirr

 

[Shirl]

Can someone put me out of my misery and tell me what happened right at the end of the Archers tonight. Like the last 5 seconds

 

[two sheds]

Nope, and I didn't like to listen to it twice.

 

[red & green]

I'm still traumatised

 

[a_chap]

I rang 999...

 

[Shirl]

Oh come folks, tell me what happened

 

[Mogden]

Oh come folks, tell me what happened

Snogging

 

[Shirl]

Snogging

There was something after the snogging though, something happened but I didn't catch what she said

I was half listening, I think she just said "ROB" in a loud voice, as if he had collapsed or something.

Thank you

This. He's either had a heart attack or jizzed over the sofa in his eagerness to have kids.

 

[TikkiB]

I think there was a hint of marital rape in Helen's "Rob". Either way, it was horrible to hear.

I can't help wondering what contraceptive method they are using as well...

 

[susie12]

He totally gives me the creeps.

 

[TikkiB]

yup, totally rapey

 

[belboid]

mm, I don't think I actually want to listen to last nights now. Altho I'm glad I know I don't, as i wouldn't like to accidentally hear it on sunday morning

 

[Mogden]

I don't usually listen live but I did tonight as I usually nod off listening to it and thought that inappropriate tonight. Very uncomfortable storyline.

 

[a_chap]

Not nice. The Archers has become really very not nice.

You don't make entertainment from domestic abuse.

Big thumbs down.

 

[susie12]

Agreed. I want to listen to it for light relief and this definitely isn't it.

 

[FiFi]

Oh no, I had an inkling of DV a few months ago but I really hoped I wasn't right
I don't think I'll listen on Sunday.

The Archers has never been simply entertainment. In fact, it's rarely been entertainment really....

Nothing wrong with doing such a storyline, and they have written it very well, over a fairly hefty period of time (for a soap). But it was deeply unpleasant. I suppose it should be.

Fair post - I think i agree, has been steady buildup to it. Listened to the today's and will be interested to see how they treat it.

It has and continue to be very creepy and unpleasant which is testament to the script and acting. I find myself listening but feeling very troubled by this which is as it should be.
The ending was very ambiguous but cleverly done so although not implicit we all sensed something deeply wrong had happened.
Poor vulnerable Helen it's not looking good.

 

[trashpony]

Kathy's rape was pretty harrowing listening too

 

[pennimania]

I thoroughly dislike Helen, but now I feel really sorry for her.

She is trapped in the thirteenth (or fourteenth, whatever) circle of hell and now she can't even confide in her mother.

It seems we're all scabs for still listening - The Archers star reveals sacking secret after 60 years - BBC News

Well Rob Titchener is getting his comeuppance already:

Actor who plays Archers villain in shock at social media onslaught

 

[wiskey]

must be a bit of a kicker for Hellin that her mum now thinks the sun shines out of Robs arse, isolating and lonely.

That's what abusers do.

 

[trashpony]

Fucking hell, Hellin really is pregnant
