When Helen becomes stronger, she might even take Rob to court. Hopefully Justin will become even more hated for showing sympathy to Rob.

I think he might be going slowly bonkers.

Fantastic acting, and good writing, too
.
Yep, indeed. The fact that we all loathe Rob is testament to that.

Is the Archers eligible to compete in the Soap Awards? If yes, Rob is a shoe-in for Villian of the Year.

She's already decided she doesn't want him charged with rape or assault.

There's the contact hearing in respect of Jack to look forward to though. And the financial settlement in the divorce proceedings.

An episode where Rob asks Justin how come his take-home pay is so low, only to be told it's because there's a huge CSA deduction for Jack's maintenance, would be good.

Oh for goodness sake - why don't they grow a pair of balls?

Tony should have said 'No - if you turn up early, there will be no-one here, and you will be trespassing.'

Lynda and Kate's convo re. the panto

... he breaks a leg in a fall on estate land on a hunting day, and while he's lying injured he gets ripped apart by a pack of slavering hounds

... Ed fails to spot him walking along behind a hedge when he's flail cutting, and chops his head off

... he dies after sampling Toby's gin which Toby flavoured with something toxic by mistake (added bonus: Toby goes to prison for manslaughter)

... he suffocates because he has his head so far up Justin's backside


Yes indeed, any of the above plus WelshLads contribution would do, preferably done slowly.......Toby's sloe-gin might be a good idea, after all there must be a scriptwriters idea in that storyline somewhere.

No-one wields a bar of soft soap like Linda on the panto-casting trail!

What a woman, the village just falls to pieces without her. I'm a bit busy just now so only get to listen when I can catch up but enjoying what you have to say though, keeps me in touch.

Does the CSA still operate? Thought it was going to be disbanded... if not that would be a cracking idea ... he might be stung for both kids since he obtained the parental wotsit.

No, it's been replaced by some other quango with very similar initials, but I couldn't remember what the new mob are called!

She is self-appointed lynchpin .
This forum is great isn't it. I look forward to reading what we all have to say as much as listening to the episodes!

Child Maintenance Service I think. Sounds like changing the letterhead paper to me. I wonder how much they forked out to a consultancy for the rebranding!

He's rapidly becoming a contender for the title of most irritating person in Ambridge.

Do the soap awards have a Best Pillock category?

Toby = Most annoying little yappy boy
Rob = Most deluded. Stay strong Usha and refuse to pay back his deposit
Linda = The glue that keeps Ambridge together

Lol.

I nearly choked on my tea when he said he needed 3 bedrooms because he was going to get custody of Gideon and Henry.

The gin-tasting was funny last night.

Yes, can't wait to find out what the 'little teenage' psycholigist makes of Rob!

Gin tasting was great, good old Lilian. Wonder when Rickyard will get raided by the police.

Was expecting Rob to turn up at Pip and Adam's farm do and heckle, shame the scriptwriters didn't go for that, could have been a hoot.

Hardly dare say this but... I'm beginning to warm towards Toby! He will definitely have Lilian onside now that he has got the gin recipe right! (Just top up my glass, will you dahhling! Cackle, cackle!)

Great news.

Anyone else feel that Linda's Christmas Show deserves a year off?
I now find it tedious with the same old, same old dramas every bloomin' year.

Give it a break storyliners.........please.

*yawn* *yawn* *yawn*

He's very true to life. I've met loads of Tobys - charisma, humour, gregariousness, but ultimately non-reliable, selfish, and petulant when things don't go their way.

Ostensibly likeable though - you'd want them at a party to keep things going.

They could even still have it, just mention it incidentally without going into detail.
They won't though. I think it's fodder storyline so the writers can bunk off to do early Christmas shopping!

I thought they were gonna give the panto storyline a miss this year when Lynda was away. Clearly not.

It's the same every year:

- Lynda rushes around the village harassing people into joining the cast
- She speaks wistfully of what an amazing interpretation the panto will be, complete with overly complicated words, some said in a French accent
- There's a disaster when a key member of the cast drops out, but Lynda saves the day anyway
- There are several disastrous auditions where Lynda barks at the cast who just take it lying down, despite the fact no real life volunteer would tolerate being spoken to like that
- They pull it off against all odds delivering an amazing panto to an audience that sounds like the Albert Hall, despite it being a small village play
- Tristram Hawkshaw writes a top review in the Borchester Echo and Lynda is hailed as a hero

As I said above..........same old, same old.
