    Think recent scenes have really showed Eileen Colgan (Ester) up to be a bit limited as an actress!
    Have to say I disagree Laois_Man. I'm surprised to find myself liking the story line with Esther and Charlie and I think Eileen Colgan is doing a great job.

    Except they don't!

    Sorry. But what's a "huge storyline" as opposed to a Fair City storyline anyway?

    Here a few months ago, we had people moaning about Fair City's "dragged out" domestic abuse storyline....even tho it only lasted about 2 months between the time of the first assault and the final resolution. A unique, different, original storyline that they hadn't done before.

    Corrie on the other hand have had their 3rd or 4th resident serial killer of the last 10 years running around knocking people off for the guts of TWO YEARS that's only coming to a climax this week!!

    The thing that strikes me about Corrie is the fact that you can go several weeks without seeing an episode, sit down and pick it up again straight away because the stories are STILL at the exact same point as they were the last feckin time you saw it. And it's easy to see why. If each episode has a running time of about 23 minutes, study the breakdown of how those 23 minutes are spent. The vast majority of the time, all bar 3 to 5 minutes of it, is killed away by time killer's involving charachters not involved in the current major storyline, sitting around in the pub talking absolute ****e! It's a bit different this week cos two long (VERY LONG) running stories are coming to a head. And then there's the other RIDICULOUS story of yer man Graham marrying a complete stranger to help her stay in the country - which if it happened in Fair City would be laughed off the stage!

    Bravo, Laois_Man! Well Said :)

    I loved the scene with Louie, Carol and Bob.. Louie's face was a picture :D:D

    I agree, Angel01. Louie coming in the door of McCoy's, seeing Bob behind the bar. Atmosphere!!

    I was expecting that when they were looking for an English actor to play David, even a fairly narrow scope of one with a visable disability, they'd be able to find a very very good one......

    Watching last night episode, imagine my disappointment!


    He did come across a bit wooden last night. Maybe that will change.

    Yeah...you'll notice that I wrote that when it was apparent that Corrie's latest 18-month long serial Killer sortyline was coming to a conclusion last week. But of course now he's escaped, no doubt it'll drag on for another good few months yet! :rolleyes:

    I thought the actor who plays David was great last night and I think the storyline is very clever. It's rare to see a character with a physical disability in a soap. Well done Fair City!

    WTF was up with the pure sh*te acting by Caoimhe in the kitchen before she quickly left off?? I was hiding behind my hands and cringing at some of the other awful acting tonight. Joe should be shot with balls of her own sh*te she is a mutant. Would love to see a Fair City after dark special get to see a few of them with there t*ts out and make it interesting

    I'd say she will have an affair with the doctor's husband. Hard to blame her, Dermot is as dull as dish water.

    I know!!!! She overacts absolutely everything! (am I talking about Jo or Caoimhe) lol!! But seriously, they need to axe Caoimhe. She's as bad as I have seen in the show for a long time. It's like she doesn't understand scenes.

    Totally agree and would you not think when other actors are doing a scene with her they are just thinking in their head "jesus, your sh*te"
