The orginial source of the STI - Judith - It could turn out that Judith is as bad as Tommy or that they have agreed to some sort of open relationship - and maybe thats why Tommy does not see anything wrong with having affairs.

1. tracey needs to come back!
2. carol needs to harden up and dump louie and go back to christy and have her kid
3. jo definitely needs to get pregnant or something from tommy
4. angela needs to come back. herself and ray can get back together
5. maybe they should create a trans-gendered storyline with a young character........zak? lol i dunno. it would be more interesting than another gay story

just some ideas!

Why should Carol dump Louie though? I didn't really like her with Christy. He aged her

Would like Christy to have a romance storyline of his own and maybe with someone with a big past or with a few skeletons in the cupboard...

Maybe someone from Wayne's past make a return to the soap... Would like Dolores and Pete to get married...

Would like Tracey to come back and have gone back to her old ways...

Give Leo and Bob a decent storyline... and Bob needs a romantic storyline and I would love Louie to dabble in drugs (that he has sourced from the Bishops...)

Great idea and Judith could dish out the medication and no-one need know !
Jo could disguise Dermot's tablets in his muesli and he would be none the wiser.

On another note (but keeping slightly on topic) I saw that ad again last night with Ben in it..the McD's ad...I've seen it many times...but last night was the first time I realised that the kids at the table are actually the parents as they walk out the door....was that just me

I kept wondering where the four kids at the table went to....

No you're not the only one - I only figured it out last week when it was shown in the cinema - and my "I know everything" son said "are you only getting that now"!!!

Haha! My own son said exactly the same!!! I don't think it's very clear though.....and I don't 'get it'. Like why don't they just have the mam and dad sitting at the table with them???

+1 - I was in exactly the same boat, but was put straight over on the "ads you despise" thread in the TV forum. I think its some crap about going to McD's makes ya a kid again.... :rolleyes:

Back to FC business, anyone else think Orla might blackmail Jo over the affair? This popped into my head last night. Its obviously a horrible thing to do (especially since Orla and Jo are bff's for what, all of 2/3 weeks now), but if Orla is really as broke as they're implying, maybe this move of desperation might be her only way out....

More guesswork, I reckon Christmas storylines will involve the Carol & Christy/Louis baby, and also the Sarah storyline being wrapped up.

What a waste of taxpayers money!!!....a full episode about blocked drains.

Sash will end up with Robert imo. She'll have some fun making a thick of Sean in the meantime tho...

Does it seem obvious to anyone else that the problem with the plumbing is that its sarahs body causing the blockage?

its going to come out just as barry regains his position in the community for the first time in ages???

just a thought

Thought she was buried in the dublin mountains but now that you said it and bearing in mind denzo took care of it I wouldnt be surprised if you were right.....at least it would provide some reason for that dumb storyline.

No chance of catching up online methinks. AFAIK, when it does eventually come onto RTE player, the episodes will only be available for the previous month. After one month, they will be taken off

nelliemac

ah well thanks max life, for the info, my sky plus box just 'failed' to record which cracks me up, thanks for the info look forward to posting here more often now, are angel, captain negative, johnathan etc all still posting here?

Yeah there a good few regular posters now.

I really cant see Sash and Sean having a relationship. When she first came to Carrigstown, there were signs of something happening between her and Robert. However,after the first couple of weeks, they have had little or no interaction with each other.

I dont have much knowledge of this.....but i thought THE one rule that thugs and criminals go by is NEVER SNITCH ????? Decco?????

If that happens, it'll be a complete rip-off of the Brookside "body under the patio" storyline with Trevor Jordache (Bryan Murray). Then again, the Fair City writers have never had an original thought in their lives. It'll be ironic and kind of funny if Bob ends up finding the body.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'd actually love to see Fair City do a decent weight loss storyline - none of this slimstar crap they've got going on with Esther, but with Laura working in a gym they have the potential to do something decent.
Personally I'd love to see it because in the last 8 months I've dropped over 50lbs and down over 10 inches from my waist, and ended up getting a job as a personal trainer because of it (if anyone is interested, I've got before and afters on my website - check out my sig). I think having a storyline like that on Fair City would really motivate a lot of people to get out and do something.
Would be great to see someone make that kind of transformation on screen too.

Maybe they could do it with Vivienne?

I'm really not with it today, when I saw this photo, I thought you got some of your friends or family to pose for it. I was thinking what a brilliant boardsie.

The thing that galls me the most about FC is the weak storylines - for example, we have all been raving about the trio of Pete, Damien and Wayne...let's see more of them we shouted. Also alot of positivity about Ray and where he's been and 'please bring him back' etc...

Then they go and create this really weak plot about blocked drains, which was like something out of an old Laurel & Hardy movie without the humor, last night:mad: Fair enough if it's going to end in someone finding Sarah's body, but why have such a weak story with some of the great characters/actors in it????

They should give Ray and Pete some strong storylines....

Looked at your pics Captain Neg - well done!! And I agree with the weightloss thing - every second woman I know is in WW so they should do it on FC (if not WW, then a real weightloss and motivation type story..)
