She charged in but Alan was pathetic non answeringDo we reckon Pat consulted with the whole of the Archer clan, thus giving her licence, before she told Alan to do one .. or do we reckon she just went to Peggy and stopped thereafter

I think I need an intervention, I thought Helenās reaction to the invites was great.

Adil's done a runner hasn't he?

Yes but I donāt think it will be for good. Theyāve brought his sister in as GP. Linda will no doubt find him and save the day.
It's quite embarrassing that the Archers are in a huff about a crude word and I find the whisperings about it, the alluding to it as a storyline is crass.

As I tend to listen to the omnibus, I've just caught up. Does Helen ever stop being annoying? It's probably to do with how it's been written, but I fail to see what's so bad about Lee? He seems like a decent guy, yet she's acting like he's awful. That said, I think it's more about her reaction to Rob being back than Lee himself.
I sound innocent, but I couldn't work out what was meant to have been graffitied on Alan's door. Was it towards Alan for agreeing to arrange Rob's baptism, or was it about Rob himself? Maybe it was just the c-word and who it was directed towards was left open to interpretation!
The longer Adil's away the more it seems like he's not coming back. Even if he does, I assume it'll come out about him lying about a family illness being the reason for doing a runner. Does anyone in Ambridge know his sister is the locum doctor? I can't remember if only listeners are privy to that.
Finally, I thought it was realistic that Ian was reluctant to hold Adam's hand in public, whereas Pip and Stella are more open. Generally society is more accepting of affection between two women - and that's either between couples or friends. Let's face it, if two men hold hands it gets more negative reaction than two women. There's also a generational aspect to it as well, given Adam and Ian are older.

If only I could do bullet points 
Helen never stops being annoying (or superior).
I'd say it's part Rob stress reaction and part she's just fed up of Lee and everything giver her the icky.
It was definitely the C word (that's how I took the disgusted reactions in the storyline) "Rob Titchner is a ...."
Adil's sister hasn't been mentioned again, but reckon she'll be a stayer otherwise pointless introducing the audience to her.
His regular character is dull (even him being widowed or deceased gf)
Ian's hand holding in public has been the most realistic story recently, and really resonated with me. Also i think all listeners could really feel and understand the reasons for his fear/apprehension.

Helen is so mean to Lee! She got the ick and just turned on him. I feel like itās definitely something she couldāve gotten over. He has become a stepdad to the boys so expecting him just to leave his stepsons is awful.

I didn't realise Helen and Lee had been together for 4 and a half years 
Doesn't seem that long at all.
Yes the poor boys - they obviously really love him. I think Henry will resent her quite a lot for it.
I think a very telling comment by her was when she told Kirsty about collecting him from the airport - he was 'chomping on all his sweets'. Yes the ick, but also to do with her eating disorder. His eating stuff around her and questioning her parenting at times means a lack of control for her which she can't handle at the moment.

Did anyone else think they'd find Adil in one of the bedrooms dead? It all seems very suspect to me.

Not me .. not with ā the redemption of Adilā produced by Linda Snell coming to your airways soon.
Can I ask what you find suspect.
I love Ian, heās one of the best characters and well acted. Jazzer gets on my wick but heās also pretty believable, in fact he reminds me of my brother in law quite a bit!
Iām not into Pip and Stella, Stella could do so much better (although I appreciate itās a small dating pool for her in Ambridge).
Adil is just going to come back and sort out the mess? Was this just a roundabout way of bringing his sister in? Bit pointless having all the drama if a chat with Snell is gonna sort it!
How do people see the Rob storyline resolving? Heās irredeemably awful so I reckon a festive siege or somethingā¦

Might be interesting tonight. Rob's christening and Tony has gone awol. Maybe with Pat's much talked about gun 
I'm not convinced by Pip and Stella either. Just seems so passionless.

Perhaps Rob can finally redeem himself with the siege by taking out a few of the worst Ambridge residents.
