It sounds like you have absolutely suspended disbelief Fredster. Nothing wrong with that either. It is a testimony to how well this plot is being performed. But don't worry too much about Henry.
![]() When you do just remind yourself he isn't a real 5 year old boy so isn't being used, exploited or hurt for the sake of drama. And for further reassurance the child that plays Henry records his lines separately and not in conjunction with the recording of the drama. Louisa Patikas ( Helen) says she has never even met the Henry actor. In fact I have just been looking for the name of the actor playing Henry and his age; chances are he is a child somewhat older than 5. However I can find no trace of the actors name and age anywhere. Is anybody able to find it? I remember Norman Painting (Phil Archer) on Desert Island Discs, saying he had never met his "Grandchildren". |

Peggy was excellent with Helen, fair play. Certainly better than Pat would have been.

I'm longing for a Peggy v Arsula match. Peggy would make mincemeat of Arsula. |

Yes, it's great to hear Peggy stepping up and making sense for once. I could almost have started liking her.

Peggy was fantastic and that scene was played superbly.
What a woman. ![]() I am sooooooo looking forward to Peggy v Ursula or Peggy v Rob. She will annihilate any opposition. ![]() Isn't the light relief about fairies just so cute? I'm going to pinch that idea for my grandchidren.

She may have old fashioned views sometimes but given her age I guess we shouldn't hold that against her. But when the chips are down everyone should have a Peggy in their camp. |

I have been an Archers addict for many years and it's hard to tell myself it's not real, hoe sad am I.

I can't understand why Anna isn't delving into Rob's behaviour, not just with Helen, but with Pat, Kirsty and so on. She's the one who will have put up a defense, but it doesn't seem that she's doing that, but simply allaying Helen's fears and saying "there, there, it'll be alright"
Same goes for the family. They know Rob was married before, why hasn't one of them thought to get hold of Jess, if only to see if she can corroborate Helen's assertion that Rob was a control freak? |

Jess isn't a prosecution witness though, and I suspect when she hears about Jess from Helen, she'll be having a chat with it her... |

If they all put half as much effort into getting Helen's defence together as they're putting into the birth of Spawn, Helen might stand a chance.
Instead, Tony and Anna now seem on a mission to get that blubbering wreck Pat present at the birth. When Spawn does come along can she swap it for Henry? Worth a try. Get Rob to drop charges in return for Spawn. |

Well it was meant a bit tongue in cheek, like most of my posts are.
Lighten up. Why Helen would want to keep Spawn is beyond me.

It doesn't even seem to matter if the child was conceived in bad circumstances. I know some mothers can't bond with a baby that is the consequence of rape, but plenty can. Seemingly the natural programming overcomes the social programming in many (although not all) cases.

How much will Anna make of Helen's hint about Spawn being the result of rape?

I think Anna is trying not to rush Helen, and to get her to tell her story in her own time. There's no rush is there? Haven't they got until September to get the defence together?
