Rob definitely taunted Helen to kill herself and put the knife into her hand. Any woman would kill to defend her child - I KNOW I would. Helen has a strong case, but there is all the obfuscation Rob has spread to counter.
One of my daughters disapproved of my (agonised over) decision to leave my unstable and dangerous ex without telling him until I was safely away. I now am sure that I was correct to do so.

The difficulty here is that there few, if any witnesses to Helens bullying and mistreatment by Rob. All we have it is her meeting with Jez and her on-off relationship with Kirsty.
Helens insistence that nobody else should know of her plight, principly her own family, is going to come back to haunt her in the next few weeks-months. If Rob dies, she can look forward to being charged with murder.
She is in the worst situation possible at the moment.

Thing's will get worse if he recovers. He will go for custody of Henry and the baby (Rob Junior) and Ursula will help him. He will also get all he can from Pat and Tony (job and money-wise) as well as keep the cottage.
I'm expecting the police to go off in the wrong direction as they usually do in soaps.
Helen should have left when he was out, like any sensible woman would. But of course she's not sensible.

...Helen could have taken a route out of this farce anytime in the last 2 years but failed to see the sensible path to take.
On Sunday evening she should have just popped Henry and an overnight bag into her car, or Kirsty's, and fled, at high speed. Even at the very end, she didn't want to take the obvious choice of going home to her parents, thinking that sofa-surfing at Kirsty's was the right thing to do !
Instead, and inexplicably, she decided to give Rob a Last Meal meal of Tuna Bake ( which she thought he didn't like ! ) and then leave home, after some frightfully middle-class Last Supper, a meal with someone she knew to be a psychopath and a monster.
Whatever sympathy I might have had of Helen is fast dissolving.
