I've just listened to the omnibus, and am a bit puzzled. What abuse?
Really He is manipulating her, undermining her and trying to control her. He's lied outright to her and mislead her more subtly. He's used anger and emotional blackmail and all to try to get his way and to get Helen in line.

The way people were talking on the thread I assumed he'd started beating her or Henry up.

Perhaps Jess might reappear and help rescue Helen when it comes to it? The Sisterhood and all of that….actually that'd be pretty good, one abused ex-partner coming to hlp save the woman who came after her. And Uncle Brian probably won't be too chuffed at bringing Rob into the village in the first place either so that might cause more problems between Bridge Farm and the Aldridges which suggests that the aftermath could run and run....
I love it when caddish, pompous Brian gets told a few home truths, and Pat would do that in spades! |

Imagine how hacked off Pat will be with Brian if it pans out like that?

Is it not amazing that the youngest child in the programme who is part of a "normal" family with both parents who are still in their first marriage is 13 year old Ben Archer?

The best line this week was Hazel's declamation to Peggy, ending with:
"I am converting the shop for purely economic reasons... If it happens to pay you back for your heartless intransigence that's simply an unexpected bonus." Oooh take that biatch! BURN! Peggy is irritating but Hazel is pretty repulsive and money-grabbing. |

Hazel was a Slitheen. I can't get the image of that out of my mind when I hear her.
it fits well with her Archers character.

All he had to do was fake the official letter that he showed to Helen. As I recall he didn't do that straight away after it arrived in the post so he had time to pull a switcheroo.
And if his wife really did not mess around, then she knows the baby is rob's whatever he says. |

Yes. And Helen is completely tractable and compliant since Greg at least. Probably before. I originally thought Rob was in league with the shop manager, but it's not that. He just seems to want to completely control helen, I think.

Rob going to the meeting instead of Helen looks like has plans to cause problems for the Archer family.

Just finished listening to catch from yesterday. Rob is not right in the head. He winds Charlie up and when things don't go according to plan his mood really does change. Helen better watch out.

Or maybe he got a sample of whatever they test from a stranger. Maybe the temp staff guy who disappeared back to Poland.
And if his wife really did not mess around, then she knows the baby is rob's whatever he says. If Jess hadn't been messing around then she wouldn't have admitted she'd made a mistake when blaming Rob. |

The marriage on holiday. The shop business. The joint bank account. Low-level stuff like complaining about Helen not being at home to make his dinner. I think Greg's main aim is controlling Helen - more than money. It would be too dark for The Archers, but if it all went wrong someone like him might decide to annihilate the whole family (himself, Helen and Henry) rather than face up to failure It did make me laugh at the cricket when Rob said that Charlie had joined the cricket because Adam asked him, and Rob said 'I wonder why' ![]() What is a slitheen please? |

Surely Helen must be detecting the sudden mood changes in Rob. He sounds scary when he puts on that voice.

They were an alien race on Doctor Who. They looked like humans, but that was just a cover. They could unzip the human skin at the forehead and underneath they looked like big green babies. Because they had to compress themselves inside the human suit they tended to let off a lot of gas from certain orifices
![]() They are basically immoral exploitative free-marketeers.... just like Hazel. Perhaps Hazel is a slitheen!

Thanks for the slitheen explanations
![]() Can't believe how easily Rob seems to be winning over Helen's relatives. Rob only had to mention that he didn't like intensive farming for Pat to start thinking she'd misjudged him I'd have thought Pat would be harder to fool. Even Tom's beginning to see what an asset the sinister one is. Pretty soon there will be nobody left not under Rob's spell to help Helen when she finally sees the light.Susan sounded dreadful when she was having a go at Pat about the shop - such a self-centred woman. You can see where Emma gets it from. |

Really
He is manipulating her, undermining her and trying to control her. He's lied outright to her and mislead her more subtly. He's used anger and emotional blackmail and all to try to get his way and to get Helen in line.
