Fair City [News, Spoilers and Discussion]

Ronan Keating

Who's the man with his arms stuck under his jacket?

Sigourney

I've just realised it's played by the little scumbucket in the McDonalds ad that doesn't want its van-driving Daddy to be an astronaut. :eek: I almost punched the telly.

Who?

Poor Wayne!!

Sigourney

I don't know his name. A weird blondy yoke with black hairy-molly eyebrows. Poor Jo looked like she was gumming for a squirt of her asthma inhaler after she came up from beneath the duvet with Tommy.

Tommy's smirk was only for foreplay.

Here's James O'Donohue aka 'Ben Fahey'. The busiest kid in showbusiness.

You have to be taught to leave us alone. Leave. Us. Alone.

I understand this of course but it just seems very forced in each episode.

There is a hell of a lot of people in need of educating when it comes to such matters, so i would not have a problem with it, so long as they do it right, which i think they are right now.

rebel without a clue

i thought the part where leo was in the pub gawking at david putting his wallet away and then holding his drinks, was good. then the stupid comments from him after. i laughed because there are idiots like leo in real life who would stare and say something stupid to a disabled person. david is a natural actor too, hope he stays around.

Whats up with all the very forced situations to show us that David can use his hands just like anyone else?

I have never seen somebody carry, move, lift etc.. as much as he has in the last couple of weeks. The props department will be running out of stuff for him to hold pretty soon.

I was thinking the same myself - I met a fella a few years back (in Trabolgan would you believe) with telidemite (can't spell the word). Anyway I was so conscious not to stare and to talk to his eyes not his arms - everything was fine until I started to feel uncomfortable when I asked him "Did he want a hand", or it was costing "an arm and a leg" and it just went downhill (for me) from there. He thrashed me at pool by the way...

I think David is doing quite well. D'you know I think this is the first time I've seen a Thalidomide survivor on an Irish soap - come to think of it, any soap.
My Mam took Thalidomide while pregnant with me, however, I have no side effects.

It happened very fast, Jo had a crush on him and all of a sudden he wanted her and hey presto another affair begins

The Jo/tommy thing is so weird. It happened completely out of the blue. I don't really buy it at all. Someone mentioned it earlier but the snogging in the charity shop in full view of the street was silly.
Wayne was funny last night "I'm a bigamist, and if ye don't believe me you can ask my ma!"

Kazbah

Leo & Bob have to go internet dating together that would be hilarious!
Agreed Ben is the most annoying child!

Everything happens at the speed of light in Fair City. One week Neasa meets Turlough for the first time outside Vino's. The next week they've become engaged and the following week Turlough meets his maker when a mirror crashes down on top of him. In the case of Barry, one week this mild-mannered pillar of the community is accused of being a paedophile, the next week he murders somebody and then quick as a flash he's become a drug-money laundering skanger.


Subtlety is something that's missing from the Fair City scriptwriters' handbook. It's more a case of "Wham bam, thank you you ma'am", and then onto the next storyline.

Ben is so weird looking, he is as weird as that kid in The Middle.

Where is Cass? Has he met David yet?

Cass is currently in cryogenic suspended animation. It's where they put characters when they don't have a storyline. Paul and Niamh are currently there as well keeping him company. They did it with Dolores once and they forgot all about her. She was missing for about 6 months with not a word said about her. It took a month to defrost her before she had a affair with that fella from The Bill who was pretending to be a priest.

Is he the kid from the McDonalds ad who wants to be a van driver like his dad?

And now she does not even seem to remember him in any way, its as if he never existed.

And falls in love with the mother of the gang that accused him of been a paedophile and the mother of the gang that got him into money-laundering. She is also one of those that suspected he was a Paedophile and stopped her daughter from getting grinds off him.
