I am interested to see how they manage to get it to look as big as he imagines it will be, still should be good I know there can be lots of staff in these shops but judging by how small his shop originally was :eek:

I guess the downstairs living area of Phelan's house will be part of the shop and Christy will just have an apartment upstairs. He could possibly even use part of upstairs as a stock room and have the shop expand into the original stock room area.

There must be loads of space upstairs. Remember the whole Doyle family lived there at one stage.

Judging by the size of Christys' new shop, how do they need 2 managers? Larger shops might need 2 managers but this is only gonna be a small shop!

Will Barry's trial even be mentioned in passing conversation in FC? Hiding the body doesn't necessarily mean that the killing is murder. Look at the Robert Holohan case. Barry could plead guilty to manslaughter.

Not sure if sightings of Fair City characters are allowed here but I met Damien and Wayne in town last night. Both of them are very nice guys and they seemed genuinely interested in what I think of the show. I'm a big fan although I'm not sure I'm a typical fan - I'm male, 50 and from Cork - who knows, maybe there's no such thing as a typical fan. Anyway both very nice blokes - Wayne made me a nice mohito and Damien is coming round tonight to unblock the jacks :-)

They are renting out his house? When was this arranged? He won't even get a mention...:(

Paul did not even say how long a sentence he got.
God forbid the viewers might find out if he was convicted of murder or manslaughter.

Just want to reiterate my appreciation to those kind people for going to the trouble of sending warm wishes to me via pm and this thread when I wasn't well.

It was a lovely gesture. Thank you! I am feeling much better now. If only I was younger I could at least have had the pleasure of a visit from the tooth fairy to make up for the toothache. I am just relieved it wasn't a front tooth causing the problem!
Now to Fair City. Disliking Tommy's pathetic attempts to justify himself. Not too impressed with Judith's reaction really. Her verbal attack was great to watch but I would like to see Tommy being found out by the rest of his family. I am hoping Dermot is reading this thread. Will he ever find out?

Looking forward to Christy's shop taking centre stage with Val and Sean.

Missed that too last week. Don't know why they stopped it. It actually made the show more exciting for the next night.

They are available on the RTE Fair City website

RTE decided to change how they do the credits and now have these on the RTE website.

The preview always highlighted the key moments of the next episode. Without warning they suddenly disappeared. I know the Sunday episode didn't have that feature but it was disappointing when it continued throughout the week.
I agree with the person who said that Dearbhla bears an uncanny resemblance to Judith. In Eastenders, I always saw a resemblance between Stacey and Jean. They were credible as mother and daughter. Clever casting.

Well from my experience of working in a relatively small Spar compared to the Eurospars now available, the shop opened from 7am to 10pm 7 days a week -this would be split into 2 shifts...7am to 4pm & 1pm to 10pm so there would be 2 managers per day, that was the way it was run where I used to work and would imagine it should be how Christys shop will work. As the managers are unlikely to work 7 days a week, Christy will have to step in to cover the shortfall when he is not managing the books/accounts.

i'm not liking the way they took the previews off and stuck them online instead.
also not impressed by the person who tweets for fair city... they like the word yizzer alot... seems aimed at teens or something!!

In fairness to the guy doing it, he is only finding his feet in the job, seems to be a nice guy to be honest. I miss Karen who used to do it though...

Jo is some awesome mother telling young children play outside by a main road that only a few months ago her son Ben was nearly knocked over by a car :mad:

Fair play to Finn for being a match for Yvonne, loved seeing her being wrong footed, I wasn't expecting it!

It would have been better if
Finn had decided to stay and order some food.
