    I thought it was the tradition everywhere. We did in Co Tipperary for my late parents.

    Your post reminded of an earlier post asking whether it was an Irish thing..

    In the Only Fools and Horses where they bury Grandad, Del hangs around at the graveyard afterwards to tip the priest and grave diggers.. IIRC

    So I guess it's not unique to Ireland.

    Which of these did Bela's ma name him after ? (isn't wiki great for these obscure facts ;))
    • Bela, son of Beor, first King of Edom
    • Bela (or Belah), the name of three Biblical characters

    Bela's name is actually supposed to be Ignatius Mary (I jest not). He changed it - though, not officially - to Bela, when he was a teenager, because he was a fan of horror actor, Bela Lugosi.

    *Stands up on the bus*

    I also didn't know Rita had a brother!

    Yeah, she did. Hannah (Rita's ma) had a son called Vincent,out of wedlock, whom she gave up for adoption. The storyline was identical to the Renee/Heather one. Vincent eventually found her and she became close to his daughter, Jasmine (of whom Yvonne was insanely jealous). Jasmine and Hannah set up Rainbows sandwich bar together - I think it was where Vinos is now.
    While were on the subject of Rita's siblings, she also had a sister, who was a hairdresser in England. An actress with a non - speaking part, turned up to play her for Hannah's funeral. I remember we thought it was decidedly weird, how she was only seen at a distance, mingling with other extras who were playing the funeral attendees. I'm a bit of a sad case, when I think about it - I've been watching Fair City since I was about five! Although, I did miss a lot of episodes in the last couple of years.:D

    Have missed an episode of FC but I thought Rita left Rachel money ? Or was that a joke ?
    I thought I read that somewhere too...and I haven't missed an episode!

    Perhaps Rachel gets Helens share of the house?

    I reas that somewhere also. The interesting thing was the episode after the Will "was read" the voiceover girl introducing FairCity said it about Rachel splashing the cash, (Anyone else pick up on this?) which never happened in the episode..... Could it be that there were 2 different stories and they ran with one which didn't include Rachel?
    Is it common for a will to be read out like that. I know when my parents died (10 yrs apart), we had to go to solicitors office for him to read it out. Seemed a bit strange to me, but I may be wrong.

    That was very weird, I would have thought the same about a Lawyers office or somehting.

    They never re-married after they got divorced-

    Why is Bela constantly refered to as her husband so. Even the kids were saying "she was youre wife"

    Is real life Suzanne supposed to be only 28?

    Bit older than that, she was in my sisters class in "Pill Hill" and she is 32 now. She was on the screen back then, So I would imagine her FC age would tie in with her real age.

    It seems Rachel will get a cheque soon, on her 16th birthday - Apparently Rita was putting money by every week by for Rachel to get on her 16th birthday?

    Suzanne and Damian in the park.. the screeching Suzanne!
    :eek: that was awful OTT

    That Suzanne was an awful b1tch!! I really thought she was going to lose it a few times and lash out at Someone or other during her return. Still can't believe that Damien was serious about wanting to get back with her. :eek:

    Wonder what Mark and Laura would have thought!

    They should have a spin off series "Carol and the Bishops".

    Hopefully she'll use it to f&^% off out of the show. The only actress worse than Rita is Rachel.

    No i will have to chime in and say Ben is pretty poor, granted he is a kid, but compared to some of the kids in eastenders he is put to shame.

    Doesn't explain why the RTE announcer said before the show that Rachel was going on a spending spree!!

    Pretty sure Darren was doing the 'singing' in the Meteor Christmas ad.

    On Sunday, Darren told Bela that Bela owed him Darren's First Communion money, which, according to Darren, Bela had given to Kay McCoy. Why did Bela give her the money? Did Bela have an affair with Kay?
