It was one seriously tense hour.
As a jury debated whether The Archers’ Helen was guilty of trying to kill her evil husband Rob, listeners had to turn to the booze. There was even talk of a Xanax…
Many fans said they almost couldn’t stand to listen.
But finally the verdict was in, and as Helen was declared innocent on all counts, Twitter went CRAZY.
So we've been blowing these up all afternoon, just on the off chance. #thearchers pic.twitter.com/xqmoxqpiBV

As Helen’s family broke down, the tears flowed at home.

But not everyone is relaxing…
Several fans were questioning where the couple’s son Henry has got to.
I am worried that Henry still with Rob....it's depriving me of celebrating #TheArchers verdict 😔

Rob still has Henry. This is unbearable #TheArchers

I can't stop thinking about Henry. Are we really to believe he's been left with Rob when Rob he been show to be dangerous? #thearchers

#TheArchers - I hope, that Henry can be retrieved from Blossom Hell Cottage ASAP - parental rights revoked, & an injunction in place STAT!

Someone go to Henry before he is kidnapped #thearchers

Others have started the ponder what sort of revenge will befall Rob.
Right then. Let's go sort Rob out #thearchers pic.twitter.com/AhbRugXFyT

But the main thing still bothering Twitter fans is whether Rob will now be charged with assaulting Helen?
@SavidgeReads @Kerensd WAIT! I have a question: Rob raped Helen, right? Is he going to be charged on rape/domestic abuse? #thearchers
— Andrew Hall (@PewterWolf13) September 11, 2016
Now 2 things need to happen. Rob needs to be charged with rape & coercive control. And Helen needs to get full custody #thearchers
— Kate (@KateRumTruffle) September 11, 2016
#thearchers I won't feel this is over until Rob is jailed for double rape.
