I was rather hoping Pat would finish what Helen had started!

A shame they got rid of the bull that attacked Tony. His enclosure could have been 'clumsily' left open as Rob was leaving.

The Grundys are just about to made homeless again.

Eddie should adapt a shepherd's hut for them all to live in

Hasn't Will said they can live in some cottage he owns?

Clarrie must be worrying about what Oliver and Caroline will say when they return to their trashed house though

Ha ha ha! If only!

I think the Court Order said that Pat and Tony should have him one day a week without mentioning a specific day of the week.

I would have reacted in the same way as Pat, but Tony is right you have to be seen to be being fair and reasonable particularly with the next court hearing coming up.

Especially as they have the chance to have him over night. It could go in their favour at the court hearing?

As if Rob doesn't have some kind of ulterior motive.
I wouldn't trust the snake - he's probably trying to trap them in some way.

Yes he might saytheykept him overnight. I would get him to sign something to say he wanted this .

Totally agree but if they do not play ball on this one particularly as he is waving the 'It's what Henry wants' card, then his legal team will use it against Helen in the next custody hearing citing her parents' unreasonable management of the child care situation and not having in mind Henry's best interests.

As another poster has said, the opportunity to have Henry stay overnight might have ultimately gone in Pat & Tony's favour at the hearing.

Rob may well have had the whole scenario outlined to him by his lawyers in order to show what a fair, reasonable and caring parent he is who is willing to compromise in the best interests of Henry (and Jack too.)

If Henry stays over with Pat and Tony, might he get to meet the new baby if Tony's bringing him to see Pat?

Isn't Pat going there, but not to see Helen?

Rob would go mad.

I was willing Pat to mention to Rabid Rob that she was going to see the baby - heh

If it must happen they must record him (on a smartphone or something) giving explicit permission and have him sign a legal paper to the same effect.
I simply don't trust him or his foul harpy of a mother not to concoct a phoney account of how the Archers took Henry overnight without leave etc.

If that's the case and it's on the right day, would there be anything to stop Pat taking Henry along? Rob would go mad wouldn't he?

Absolutely, or have a witness there who can verify what Rob has said about the overnight stay.


Now that would be a plan! Henry returning to Blossom Hill Cottage with tales of baby Jack, Rob wouldn't be able to contain himself.

Yes yes yes

Phoebe is a cheeky mare and a misery guts

And Kate is a spoilt brat.

Oh Tony For pity's sake man, get it in writing! You KNOW Rabid rob is going to use this against you in court.

Dear Phoebe, could you clarify your age please? I'm not sure if you're 18 or 80.

And is Kate 14 or 40.

Poor Kate, it must be awful for her having such a miserable dullard as a daughter
