Looking back, many of us disliked Charlie, but his shortcomings seem smallfry compared with Rob.

I'm just disappointed that Rob's life is not unravelling at an accelerating pace. I want it all to collapse like a long row of dominoes. The job, the house, his social standing, his 'flood hero' status, his professional credentials, his position in the cricket team.... I want to know he is suffering and hear that he is suffering!
![]() Although to be fair they have to keep him in to be there to suffer, so I guess Justin is doing us a favour really. No job, no Rob and we don't get to enjoy our pound of flesh! |

Personally I'm rubbing my hands with glee at Rob staying around. We had long enough of gloom with him being top dog. I want a nice long spell of him suffering! |

I agree - i don't want Rob to go anywhere. I just don't want people fawning to and accommodating him like useless Justin.
I want Rob's reputation to be ruined and for him to be slowly ground down until he feels like a worthless wreck ![]() ![]() Might take a while, considering we're starting from the heights of his deluded self-assuredness, but hey, give it time and intensity. There's a saying in Welsh "Dyfal donc a dyrr y garreg" (transl. Many small taps crack the stone) |

Not if Henry's family can possibly help it. Rob has been given no contact rights to him.
Could be an interesting development. |

Archers is the best soap on at the moment in my opinion, the Helen case has really kept me gripped, much more than any other soap has for a long time, top work and acting from the cast.

The meltdown will start when Helen serves him the divorce papers..... Along with a hefty maintenance claim for herself and Jack (and possibly Henry too)

They probably do need an estate manager - most big concerns do - but this nonsense about "What do you mean you can't start on the 10th? No, no, I couldn't possibly wait to advertise and interview, I need someone now!" when the place has been comfortably jogging on for months on end is a bit daft.
I don't mind really. Rob may be an absolute evil @rse of the first water but he's still got potential in terms of storyline if the writers can possibly avoid obvious sensation. I think there's a lot of back story to come out yet; I'd like to know more about this (hopefully) complex, layered character before he shuffles out of Ambridge (as I suspect he must - possibly to celestial ground). I also think the actor has done a sterling job. However, in all this contrivance, Justin comes across as a definite berk imo. Laying aside Rob's supposed qualities to do the job (which are overblown tbh), Justin has been doing serious spadework (with the help of Lilian) with the leading lights of Ambridge since he arrived and now risks blowing the lot by seeming to ally himself with enemy number 1 of the community's tragic heroine. Idiotically done, Mr Elliot, idiotically done. ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:

Great acting. |

So, if Adam won't work with Rob, and his mnarriage is over - might this be the opportune time for Charlie to re-enter, spilling the beans to Justin about Rob - and then he and Adam can sod off to the Highlands. I wouldn't be sorry never to hear Adam's voice again.
Usha, Usha, listen to your inner voice! |

Usha, Usha, listen to your inner voice! Sorry, but I'm with Alan on Blossom Hill cottage - you can't just turf people out because you don't like who they are! Has she not heard of tenants' rights? She can either say that she needs the place for herself or her family to live in or she can terminate the tenancy at the next review. Either way she will have to give him notice! Much more fun if he is living in the village, anyway! |

The actor playing Adam is absolutely awful - amateur dramatics at its very worst!

Oh dear Druth's offspring are rebelling
![]() Not keen on hooty Usha but well done her. I'd want Blossom Hill back and fumigated after turd-face too. Alan's rather spineless wooly musings justified by some rather simplistic theology wasn't very convincing. Adam's 'packed bags' guilt ploy backfired . Bye then!

I haven't heard tonight's yet, but is Usha trying to get Rob out of the house? It would be surprising if she is doing that - as a lawyer she'd surely know tenancy law? If she needs a vicar to remind her then I wouldn't feel happy about her legal services
![]() All depends on the nature of the agreement. When I rented in England on a middle to longterm basis I had a very secure contract, when I then rented a while back in Wales the agreement was more transient and allowed both me and the landlord two months notice to vacate the flat. To whom is the house rented? Is the tenancy in both Helen and Rob's names? Does the contract end if Helen gives notice that she's vacating? Is it a periodic assured shorthold tenancy going from week to week, or is it a fixed tenancy? Either way Usha has the right to evict him and issue a notice to quit, commensurate with the terms of the contract. If he doesn't go she can apply to the courts for a possession order, and after that a warrant for possession and send in the bailiffs to turf him out. |

There wasn't a suggestion she'd go against the law. She told Alan she'd go through the appropriate process.
