I have notest that they aren't doing much with the Robbert Cleo story. I know Mark is doing the LC and can't be in Fair City but its farly anoying when all his family, friends ect are in it.

I cannot even remember when Cleo last had a proper storyline

Do you think they will bring Lara back? It seems that would really open a can of worms if Lara came back and wanted the baby, what with all the arrangements Dolores and co. have at the mo.

Something I don't understand (i missed a few months): if Lara had AIDS, how was Zumo her boyfriend? :eek:

I have asked before, but there wasn't really an answer - is the actress who plays Rita (Bella's wife) ill in "real-life"?

Yes she is ill in real life

Zumo is tougher than AIDS. Zumo smacks death in the head and death calls him Sir.

Either that or he's a very responsible young man, who faced up with intelligence and courage to the challenge of living with a HIV-positive partner.

Or maybe she didn't tell him.... There could be a story there, do you think?

Very sad to hear that she is ill - do you know what's wrong with her?

I hope Lara doesn't come back. Maybe to sign the baby away to new guardians, but I'm not bothered with yet another tedious bad teenage parent storyline. I much prefer Jane being randomly tossed around between so many people, it leaves so many more options open. :pac: When she grows up she's going to be a big mish-mash of Cass, Eileen, Malachy, Dolores, Cleo, Robert... it'll be fantastic!

Edit: Also, I've just remembered that Louie is Mike's brother. I'd forgotten that for months and it now seems very odd to me... Yvonne was married to Mike for years and never heard about his druggie brother...

Louie and Mike were probably not close and there was no reason to mention him, not all families are close and some people don't want to talk about their family.

Close enough to lend him 10k and leave everything to him in his will though :pac: Upon arrival Louie seemed to have a fair idea of what was going on, telling Yvonne 'Mike told me all about you' and such.

Maclean didn't make it through the boxing programme

Fair enough, but for a lot of my friends and neighbours, I never mention my brother, doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Not everyone has to tell everyone everything about their lives...

Maybe Renee wasn't the only one dealing with Turlough :pac:

I enjoyed tonights episode. I loved their reaction :eek: looks like the family ties have been severed for Yvonne :eek:

Cass, Eileen and Zumo had me in hysterics again PMSL at Cass's dancing

I am not feeling this sudden feeling of love Christy has for Carol... I would much prefer Carol with Leo

That would be a great love triangle - Leo, Carol and Tracey.

Another brilliant episode tonight. It's really returning to form.

Oh yes, that would be fantastic...

It was really good last night. I was loving it. I read that Louie gets jealous when it seems Paul is going to pay Yvonne a lot of attention... Niamh won't like that either :eek:

On another note, I just noticed last night, Louie has amazing eyes

Earth Dweller

Poor Yvonne last night

Meller

Yay, lots of Robert to come this week. And Robert + Dean are wonderful together, loving the sound of Dean giving him more advice. :P

Christy's confession about Carol was a bit strange though, o_O. Wasn't expecting that and not really feelin it tbh. Friends is all lovely but eh, no, not really into the other idea.

I am missing Jo & Dermot so much :( it isn't the same but please Fair City, keep on giving Eileen, Cass and Zumo more airtime. Eileen and Zumo are hilarious together, especially the remarks she makes about him

I should have more spoilers either tomorrow or Wednesday

Yeah, such as when she called him 'a right thick'.
There was lots of great comedy in Sunday's episode.

I personally am feeling the Christy unrequited love angle. He is old and lonely and Carol is beautiful so yes, I think that storyline is realistic, and no, I don't think Carol will bite.

Pity to see Maclean knocked out of the competition - but Damian is another character who doesn't really do much... He always seems a kind of background character or support to Suzanne. I think the writers should be fair and share out the strong storylines amongst the characters more so than they do.

Oh

and I believe Zumo has worn the same tracksuit every episode that I have seen him in

I agree with you. He seems to be a very strong actor, but he never gets much to do. The psychological stuff between himself and Suzanne was interesting, and there was another hint of it last night when Yvonne was talking about how Suzanne would be as a mother. There seems to be an awful lot of issues in the relationship, and it woul be good to see them blow up.

Some funny stuff for Damien would be good too.

lol Zumo has but who cares. I think he is brilliant. I love him and Eileen, best characters for me at the moment

Best lines for me last night:

Eileen: Pity I couldn't have afforded you a good education, you turned out a real thick"

I agree, Robert and Dean are a fabulous duo. Yay, to Dean coming back too, he's been gone for a while. Hope Kylie doesnt follow him!:mad: I agree with whomever gave out about Louie and Yvonne, I too find him very dull, and his voice is monotonous.
I love that Carol is finally getting a big storyline. Love her
