I reckon she'll go down thius opening up a lot more story lines including a Justice For Helen style campaign featuring domestic violence campaigns etc.
Then Helen gets freed on appeal but somehow Rob remains in the picture for a while at least.
If she goes down, I don't think I have the stamina for months/years of "poor Helen" fighting and weeping etc. In my opinion the best storylines are the ones that have a conclusion, rather than being open ended!Then Helen gets freed on appeal but somehow Rob remains in the picture for a while at least.

Guilty but free on appeal after Rob's mask slips in some way. I just think they'll keep the story going as long as possible and Helen in prison gives them a chance to explore more female issues
Yup. Guilty, unless deus ex machina kicks in very soon.Then 8 months of Rob knobbing/torturing the new nanny, culminating in either a successful appeal. Or Ambridge turning wicker man and toasting him.

Me too.I like the Whicker Man storyline. Sinister Morris Dancer, witchcraft, green man stuff. Organised by an unaware Linda who thinks it's just some ancient cultural celebration....

I can't help thinking that Henry will say something that drops Rob in it, such as it being him who gave Helen the knife?
I've only been listening for a few months and it was this storyline that got me hooked. I do think Helen would have got bail though, were this a real case.
(Eek, outing myself as an Archers listener!) Rob has been working to manipulate Henry, so it would make sense for Henry to sink him. You can't train a child that age to say everything you want and nothing but.I've only been listening for a few months and it was this storyline that got me hooked.

I don't think there's any way she can go down. When this storyline started, the BBC were inundated with leters and calls from women who had been victims of domestic abuse, whether physical or mental. If Helen goes down, it will send the wrong message to real women about the consequences of trying to extircate themselves from an abusive relationship.
My money is on Jess stepping up at the last minute. I haven't listened for a few days, but I also think that Helen's concern over Kaz's predicament will prompt her to finally start talking. She's seen how frightened Kaz is that her ex will get access to her kids now her mum has gone into hosptial.

Unfortunately it's all too late. The defence 'story' had to be disclosed to the prosecutors months ago.My money is on Jess stepping up at the last minute.

You can't just Spring a whole load of stuff on the prosecution during the trial. It's inadmissible.
