People of Dulwich - Re: The Archers - why didn't they kill off irritating Helen Archer?????

[hpsaucey]

Just a rant. Why oh why did they kill of Nigel P - one of the few actually nice characters. Why didn't they kill off that self-centred, selfish, deeply irritating brat Helen Archer. Urgh!!!! I'm ashamed to admit I've listened to The Archers for over 30 years - but might have to stop now as most of the remaining characters are fairly obnoxious at best.

Urgh!!!!!

I have a vile secret. I hate The Archers.

I thought the climax was going to rock the very heart of Ambridge- I was all for David and Nigel falling off !

If only I could shake off those early enforced years of listening at an impressionable age then I'm sure I'd hate it too LOL!

She is very irritating indeed. What a missed opportunity.

Uncle Tom and his sausage empire can bore off as well.

Poor Henry.

I'm fairly new to The Archers and love it. However, I do find Helen nauseating (also Linda and Susan).

My only consolation is she has the 'wake-up call' of motherhood facing her (I don't have children but one can imagine). For a while I thought it was being set up that Tony would have an accident and she'd never get over the fact that they hadn't reconciled.

Poor Nige. At least he got the brooch cleaned up.

why didnt they kill off the whole bloody lot of them . lol

Missed it, what happened?

They should have had a discovery of a secret swingers club.

Oh, hang on - that's East Dulwich.

[bonniebird]

I like it! Hellin as her mother calls her I call her moany Hellin and her smug brother Tom, I liked Nigel. I have been a listener for about 14 years, I look forward to it :))

Went into the Mind shop this afternoon, and what was playing on the radio?

"And if this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two

Up on the roof"

Surely Susan should buy the farm before Helen. Ironically Linda Snell was introduced as 'the irritant', but these days I find her one of the least irritating characters in it. I still listen regularly though.
