The overcooked pie catches fire, burns the house down, disguising Rob's mutilated body!

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Although they were both vying for the attention of Pru... He was charged with Manslaughter.

Don't think so.
I just listened to the Archers. I won't spoil it for anyone though.

BBC London radio did that this morning by saying ' I won't spoil it for those who haven't heard it yet, so I won't say who was killed' When sorting out newspapers at work this morning I studious avoided reading the item with the huge photo on the front of the Mail, only for a small 'news' item on the front of the Torygraph to blab the whole story. Argggh.
Really annoyed.

It's being done to give him maximum column inches on his departure I suspect. I hate O'Connor - I think he's wrecked the Archers

Helen is going to say some unguarded and self-incriminatory things under caution and she won't even think to ask for a solicitor because she is hysterical.

wrecked is going a bit too far, but only a little bit. It's his hatred of the listeners that really annoys too, he thinks we're all thick yokels or something.
Meanwhile, I'm very glad Rob isn't dead, that woulds have been a cheap and tawdry 'ending' to what has been the best, most demanding, most realistic Archers storyline in decades. Compared to how they handled the racist abuse of Usha, or even Cathy's rape, this has been a superbly, slowly, painfully, drawn out tale. To have given us a thirty year old Brookside rehash would have been shameful. But this way, it could well be spun out in an intelligent and plausible way, without need for cheap melodramatics. Here's hoping.
If someone is worried about spoilers the archers thread is a silly place to be
Under a rock might just do it atm

Rob hasn't been outed for anything. Real men never get outed.

would have thought if they really wanted to do a realistic storyline they could have made Helen into one of the two women who are still killed everyweek by their partners.
Hope that comes out if there's a trial, didn't that Eastern European chap he worked with know what he did? That might scupper his "man if the people" front.
no, because that was one of the many recent storylines he has been involved in that have been completely discarded. There was the hunt sab attack, the aggressive comments to Jim, the dodgy recordkeeping at the mega diary - all forgotten.
They've been waiting for this I reckon. It'll all come out in court and show what an utter shitbag Rob really is.

Nothing is forgotten. Things will start coming out, bit by bit.

Except they could never have done that to Pat'n'Tony after John's death.
They just haven't planned any of it IMO. I don't think they planned an educational DV storyline - it happened organically. Or rather they capitalised on public opinion. But O'Connor wanted his blaze of glory and given they couldn't kill Helen, he needed it somehow.
