Well, it’s finally happened. The slow freight train of the Rob and Helen saga has finally roared out of the tunnel.
I’m ashamed to admit that for a split second I was pleased that he’d hit Helen. Finally, her eyes were open and she’d had a flash of insight into Rob’s character, and would escape the evil. And as quickly as that thought came into my mind it was overtaken by the stench of realisation that no, she was going to apologise and grovel, and the manipulative evil would continue, only worse.
Arghhhh. I feel very sorry for Helen, and all in her situation, but I’m really over this part of the story. I hope she has the strength to talk to Kirsty or Tom or her parents about Rob hitting her, and we can move into the vanquish Rob phase of the story (I can’t wait!).
