Perhaps the relief of Helen being acquitted will finish her off.
Her sterling support for Helen could be her swansong. Perhaps they'll celebrate Helen's exoneration and then find Peggy passed away next morning

That'll be an uber fantastic 'well-spotted' in Lakieland if that happens!

Oh dear, Matthew's dumped Pip over the phone.
Ouch! Eeeek - Spawn is coming down the chute. Prepare the rituals, man the altar, summon the High Priestess! |

will anyone tell the "bully" that his child has been born? And will he go for custody? I see that the listening figures in th Archers have dropped. Is this because it's been going on for so long and Helens trial is not until September

September!........I have just come back off holiday and have two Sunday catch up programmes to listen to before I get to this Sunday's omnibus.......I came on here hoping to read accounts of Helen having had the trial and being acquitted........in my dreams, it seems...... perhaps I will just not bother listening to the last two, and delete them and just catch up with tomorrows episodes

Thing is, if Helen doesn't start talking soon (and I am glad to see that anna put her under a bit of pressure at the last meeting) in could be September next year before we get a result!!!

It's Archers pace.... which is still faster than real life pace!

You are quite right I think. Even at the Archer's sedate and moderate pace the time line is sped up. In real life we wouldn't expect this trial until next year probabaly. The case of the guy murdered in a road rage incident in Worthing last summer has only just been heard by the courts and in that case there wasn't even really a defence. |

Am listening to this week's story in the Omnibus broadcast. I have had a light bulb moment. Does anyone know anything about PTSD. I note that Helen is really obsessing about trivia, her things, the van etc. Is that a known reaction to PSTD?

I see it not so much as obsessing about trivia but casting round finding anything to talk about with Anna as a diversionary tactic so she can avoid discussing what is important for her case.

I honeetly don't see how Pat being there at the birth would compromise the court case. With two prisoner officers and a midwife (independant and appointed by someone other than Helen) to testify to what is said, I can't see there is much risk. And more to the point how many women in the throes of childbirth have the head space to discuss tactics for a trial? Usually all they can manage is a few expletives. Maybe Anna should be there. Helen may curse Rob in a rather enlightening way during labour. |

It happens when people suffer sudden bereavements, too. |

I don't know about it being a feature of PTSD, but it's a fairly common response to trauma. It's called displacement - concentrating on anything to avoid thinking about the traumatic event.

If I was evil, manipulative Rob, as soon as I heard about the birth, I'd go to the Registry Office and register the birth calling the baby Robert.

The Spawn has landed.
Check its hairline for the 666 brandmark. |
