Looking forward to Caoimhe's birthday party.

(despite the face she puts on, and a few too many fiacla) ,

is that girl a ridebag or what!:D

Ah, we all did that.

I know they've only moved in to the area, but that must be the smallest birthday party ever....

A.Tomas

They've been talking about that party for a week and there were only two guests!!!

Well, it was for "family only" initially, then the "wan with the mouth" invited Deco and it seems Dean invited himself.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Ah poor Decco... They need to introduce a nice love interest for him...
Also, I thought a couple of months ago they were hinting at a relationship between Robert and Caoimhe, but apparently that won't happen, so they should introduce someone for Robert too...

Why would her own sister not go to town with her on her 21st?

pavcro10

Ha! That was a fairly low key 21st if ever I saw one. Didn't see Dean and caoimhe getting together. It's a weird one. They put odd couples together on FC.

Yes that was pathetic. Wasnt she inviting Orla, Finn and Keith at some stage

I am sick and tired of the Louis and Carol affair storyline already and as for Turlough and Nessa one word comes to mind sick! She goes from being a slapper sleeping with a guy to pay off a debt to worried about Louis and Carol's affair and in love with an old guy and Caoimhe seems to have swapped personalities with Nessa anyways all the Dillion kids are bloody annoying :mad:

pavcro10

Yes. I agree Liz! The Dillons are featured so much now, it's complete overkill at this stage. It was like Paul and Niamh last year. But compared to the Dillons I'd welcome the brennans back with open arms!!

None of the family are great actors either. Tommy, Judith are passable and I'll give derbhala the benefit of the doubt because she hasn't been in a storyline yet.

Why are actors like Pete for example, being overlooked, every scene he is in, is solid and believable. Yet he doesn't get a storyline. The neasas and zumos, who are unable to carry them, get them! Team pete rant over!!

Christy Burke!! Do you mean Chris de Burgh or the Sinn Fein candidate?

I am actually begining to think that the scriptwriters are mixing up the scripts for Caoimhe and Nessa

That 21st was a shambles. Apart from the embarrassment of there being 2 guest, how old is Dean??

There's not a 21yr old in the country who doesn't already have a laptop:rolleyes: and not one other member of her family going into town with her....ridiculous!!!! I don't know about the rest of you here, but my GP lives in a mansion and drives a 10 Merc...to have this GP's family moving to Carrigstown for a start is a joke, and then to have them completely rebuild Dolores house in a matter of days...and then to have a 21st with crisps and peanuts in your kitchen.. ...the list is endless:rolleyes:

SoapFan27

Agree that the 21st was a joke!

Also, I don't think Decco would have sat there all night whilst she made a fool out of him with Dean, I know he got a major scare recently but don't think that was realistic of his character, he's a supposed wannabe gangster :rolleyes:

Also I wonder have they put Dean with Caoimhe so that when Tracey comes back he will be in a relationship and perhaps there will be a repeat of all that chemistry between him and Tracey with him being a taken man again ....could be totally off the mark as I have no idea when Tracey is back and himself and Caoimhe might be a one night thing for all I know! I did prefer the idea of her with Robert, however she is turning into a right cow so she doesnt deserve him and doesnt deserve Dean either

Bob is incredible, he is so convincing in every scene. I think him and Turlough are working out well together.

I wonder when Christy is going to find out about the affair, if it is on the altar we have a good few weeks to wait

STIG83

I thought its gonna be all revealed soon?

He sees Carol and Louie kissing this week and dont say anything to them he is going to fight for Carol apparently

Eradicate

I'm sick of Neasa! There I said it!! She is just a moan! I agree about the caoimhe/Neasa transplant.
The carol/Louie thing just isn't working for me either. I actually like carol with christy. I don't think they were together long enough for the audience to care who she goes with. Be different if it was jo and dermot for example. It doesn't help that the dialogue is so cheesy. If a man said things like Louie says to carol. I'd be reaching for the bucket!!

I'm finding turlough very boring. But bob lifts those scenes for me!!

dirtyghettokid

an awful lot of moanin goin on in this thread now!


despite what ye all say, i like the dillons. i'm still enjoying it! there are a few WTF moments.. but all in all it's not all that bad! it's a soap, not real life

Also Starring LeVar Burton

^^^haha Waaahmbulance

I like the Dillons too and don't think they've been overused at all.

pavcro10

Ray is another one who really deserves a story. I'd also love it if they ran some of the comedy storylines for longer. Like a lot more mileage could have been got out of the swingers storyline but it was ended in a week. It was hilarious though.

Ah great! Just what FC needs at the moment, another Model/Celebrity that probably can't act! .... Models haven't really a great track record in FC, just look at Felix for feck sake! who hires the actors in there? In the UTV soaps they list it in the credits, but I haven't seen it on the FC credits (must work as a models agent on the side :rolleyes: ) I've been bitten my lip for far too long now and I just have to ask.......WTF is going on with Fair City at the moment??? Stories are ridiculous!!!! All the good decent actors have either disappeared (except Bob) or have very short silly stories and we're left with the Dillons?? and now another new model/actor?! I can't figure out whats going on?
I have to say I'm really very disappointed with whats going on at the moment, things were going so well with the Damian/Suzanne story, I've reverted to watching it on Sky+ so I can fast forward the Dillons shouting their heads off! (put a few more mic's in their kitchen ffs!) Rant over

Maybe she might come in and be a bit like Jonathan Ryan. I can never remember him having that thick accent when he was in Bosco or Inside.

The guy with the pony tail Robin had a fling with (can't remember his name), and isn't one of the Dillons a model aswell, she was/is Yares girlfriend . . . . . Was Avi a model ?

My god these scenes with Turlough and Neasa are cringeworthy... please let the 64a to Carrigstown plough them both out of it..
