The Caz thing really shocked me. It's not like The Archers to get so dark.
I hope she was found in time. For Helen to lose 2 people she's close to to suicide would be just dreadful. |

I've got about 4 months podcast downloads to catch up on at some point.

We did hear the call, and Helen was mostly blaming herself for what was happening but she did, after gentle coaxing, more or less admit that Rob had raped her. Helen had to end the call abruptly but the person at the end of the phone line gave her a reference number to quote if she should call again, so there is obviously a record somewhere of the call.

I'm assuming Caz tried to top herself.
This story is seriously starting to rattle now; tonight was farcical. Using a suicide (which is very serious) as a mere catalyst for Helen's epiphany in another story is very un-Archers like imv. Pity. Toby slobbering over Pipkin wasn't welcome either. I know there's no other way to convey what's going on, but...*involuntary twitch |

Thank you
![]() I am no prude, but the sound of kissing on the radio makes me want to stuff pillows in my ears and/or scratch my skin off. Bleeuurrgh. I know there's no other way to convey what's going on, but...*involuntary twitch |

It has that effect on me too. I also can't stand it when they're eating. So that we're aware that they're having a conversation around the dinner table, they talk with their mouths full, which is nauseating.
That said- it's all part of the rich tapestry of drama on the radio. |

. They could just clatter cutlery or say 'mmmmm this is nice' when guzzling one of Jill's briskets!The most recent actually disturbing slob-fest was David necking Ruth on top of Lakey Hill during their 'Route B' triumphant love-in. I was making fairy cakes at the time and got cake mix all over the radio in my frantic haste to turn the atrocity off. |

I love the little insights we get into your world Welsh-lad. I have a distinct image of you in your rustic stone built Welsh homestead. I can see your rugby kit on the line, wafting in the breeze through the kitchen window as a big blokey bloke with a bit of a shiner from yesterday's game delicately ices his fairy cakes before turning his attention to his knitting (or was it crochet?)

Yup that's me! Not so much rugby these days though - more cycling and swimming, which is more befitting my age! I'm 35 on Monday
. Crochet rocks ![]() . 35 isn't old. Wait until you hit your late 40s/early 50s. You'll start making involuntary groaning noises whenever you bend down to pick something up, and if you kneel on the floor for something you'll look around to see what else you can do while you're down there (and groan when you're getting up again )

Well done Ian
. That told the warped scumbag.What was even sweeter though was Johnny and Adam going off down the pub, leaving Rob squealing and bleating after them "ADAM, JOHNNY! Come BACK!" Awww diddums: no-one is listening to you Rob ![]() And there's no woman to bully either, to make you feel better about your tiny micro dick and your mummy issues. |

Pretty soon I shall start complaining of 'damp' and 'draughts' and worrying if I haven't 'been' today yet, just like my mum does! |

When Rob made that jibe about petit fours, I was half-hoping Ian would say "No, just a carcass that needs butchering" or something. Anyway, he's now my favourite character, he's even surpassed my beloved Lilian. I suspect Ian's visit to Helen could be the catalyst for her telling the whole story at last. |

I love Ian too. I wish they would give him a proper story line - a nice one, instead of him always being the foil fro everyone else. If it were a dual story line with Lillian even better. Do we think Caroline and Oliver will ever move to Tuscany?

Just listened to last night's on catch up. Well played Ian! He may not play cricket but that was a boundary in my book. Yay! ![]() ![]()

And they have started to trail the denouement on radio 4 between other programmes. I heard a trail this morning of git face trying to coach Henweee. I think we are approaching the final furlong folks.

Then Justin could buy Grey Gables and give Lillian a role in overseeing things there. This "overseeing" would, of course, consist mostly of sitting in the bar with a large G&T or having beauty treatments in the spa. She could have chats with Ian about menus and catering special events though, and they could bump into each other fairly often. |

Charlotte will be a comfort to Rob during the days ahead I think, and he's going to need it. He came very close to losing it with Ian - I wonder how he'll cope in court when things aren't all going his way. Only a matter of time before he shows everyone his true colours.
I suppose Helen is going to tell Anna all just in time ![]() I feel very sorry for poor Caz, but I didn't find her attempting suicide that convincing tbh. I hope she can return to the MBU. I listened to the omnibus yesterday as I'd missed a couple of episodes. I really enjoyed it but wasn't inspired to do any ironing or housework unfortunately ![]() I even made myself listen to Alice again She is played by an appallingly poor actor imo - I felt sorry for the ones that play Adam, Phoebe and Josh for having scenes with her. Her voice is all over the place - she seems to stress the wrong parts of her lines quite often so it's difficult to understand what she's on about. And that strident, whiny tone is an assault to the ears I don't think many of you watch Corrie, but Alice reminded me of a character called Joni - played, very badly, by one of Girls Aloud. |
