Fair City [News, Spoilers and Discussion]

MaryCat!

I just read on the website, it sounds like "The Hungry Pig" opens its doors this week! That was quick refurbishment wasn't it! LOL! :rolleyes:

I really like the Niamh family storyline at the moment. Its really nicely done and realistic. Paul and Niamh are great to have as a "strong" couple. A lot of the other relationships in FC, times are very choppy and on the rocks. Renee and Bob, Tracy and Domonic, Barry and Annette etc.

Not sure about the whole Turlough thing! The whole "contact with the dead" is a little hard to fathom! but they are leaving it open, so you dont know whether he is genuine or a con-man, which is good! I hope we dont see Floyds ghost or something ordering a coffee in rainbows, then I might switch off!!:D:D

I really am enjoying the show at the moment! Never miss it! :P

I was getting sick of Turlough but I read on this weeks stories on the RTE site and it loks kinda good.

Bahahahahahahaha!

Christy and Bella eating muffins outside the new diner! So funny!

Even more funny: Fluent Irish speaker who plays Ali saying 'brístes'. Must hurt the poor girl's ears to say it.

Yeah that made me laugh too! :pac:


Where do I know Dáithí from?

Meller

how come it took them like months to refurbish the bistro the last time but only like two days to change it around completely? lolz

Whiskey Devil

The big R didn't hit Carrigstown :rolleyes:

CSC

Disappointed at how Carol's character has developed. Once she had an edge to her as a tough business woman living off the profits of crime now she has become a joke working in the shop alongside Christy.

ManFromAtlantis

is there a front window to 'the hungry pig' yer man is smart, but is he that smart that he thinks theres no need for a front window to the chipper??????????

and where leo?

xword

Lovong the Carol giving up the fags stuff at the mo but that turloug story is going round in circles. WTF? didn't she offer him money two days ago? didnt bob threaten him and tell him to leave renay alone last week? its groundhog day in caricktown.

Always number 1

Groundhog Day had Bill Murray, we're stuck with Brian Murray
The whole Heather-Floyd-Brendan thing is getting old and why oh why the stupid story about Bela and Carol giving up smoking? Can anyone remember a scene where Bela smoked? Even with all the stress of Rita's stroke.

I have seen him smoke when at the bar ,but he can't do that now with the smoking law.
Next time he is on camera , try to have a look at his fingers.
They are very nicotine stained.:pac:

Meller

the turlough thing is going round in circles, why is he being so subjective, they keep firing him, bringing him back again, firing him again, etc. is he fired atm or not? and a minute ago christy was begging him to come back 'for renee's sake' but now he's teamed up with bob (why are they so pally btw?) and is all 'yeah kick im out!'

ManFromAtlantis

only got a glimpse yesterday........

was that Floyds ashes smokin from the vase or whats going on.

Does anyone know how old Mark and Sean are in real life?

I'm guessing around 16 or 17. Great episode last night:D

jos28

According to someone I work with,Mark is in transition year in Portmarnock Community school. That would make him about 16

Toto Wolfcastle

Mark looks really like my 17 year old brother so I would guess 16/17.

MaltEagle

I donno why I watched the episode last night, it was appalling :eek: Poor storylines, I think I fell asleep.


Oh, and what the heck is the 'Hungry Pig' :P

Hey LemonLyman. Are you sure you want another exposure to the ruthlessness of boards? It's just as bad as Washington here.

Do you take part or do you stand in the corner and watch?

ratmouse

What really bugs me is the way Renee pronounces Turlough's name. She says it so that it sounds like "Thurlough". Maybe that's how it's supposed to be pronounced but I haven't noticed any of the other characters pronouncing it like that.

yeah, she's doing it wrong and it annoys me also. thhhhhurloughhh

JP Liz

LEO IS THE MAN!

BTW i hate this Renee/Turlough storyline

MaryCat!

:D Did anyone else notice Brenden saying "RENEE" in a really high-pitched squeal when she was attacking him outside the community centre? :eek::eek:

Ray is doing some great acting lately! As good as you will see anywhere! I LOL'ed so hard when the preist walked in tonight and Ray shouted "I WAS BLEEDIN' BAPTISED??!" :D It was funny, because he was so calm with sean before that!

Are Christy and Carol gonna hook up? I hope not, because they are kinda cute the way they are, with Carol always sticking up for him.
