Agreed, what detective would announce the findings of a fire investigation in a public place like the community centre.

Having my once a month- every 6 weeks type check in with the folks of Carrickstown. Jaysus. It just gets worse. How Jo is an actress I'll never know. I have shoes that are more believable as human beings. Leo isn't much better.

The guards just seem to have no concept of confidentiality or professionalism, talking to all and sundry in the open.

And I still don't understand how Charlie became so well spoken/posh in the last few years when he was just your average Northsider all the time before that. It's like his wife dies and he stops talking with a thick Dublin accent. Bizarre.

Think I'll wait a bit longer to check in next time!!

It's the best comedy on RTE at the moment, though that's not saying much.

Good ole Yvonne telling it like it really is

Poor ole 'furbz'

Damien tells the detective (in the Spar) that he mentioned to Leo that the electrical plugs may be a bit dicey. Five minutes later, Leo is arrested (in the pub!) and charged with negligence, probably criminal negligence. No investigation or forensic evidence is required.
By the way, would a detective need to bring a uniformed, silent, Garda with him (in to the pub!) in order to arrest someone?

Poor ould Leo. For five minutes it looked like all his troubles were behind him but now he's even deeper in the shyte again.

That was hilarious, he was all smug and then suddenly it all went wrong. The guy playing him is such a bad actor that its actually funny seeing him struggle with the dramatic storylines.

I've become so used to Leo I don't think the actor is bad anymore. I think it's just Leo being Leo

Are we not allowed discuss all aspects of the soap including the actors/actresses?

You can and I'm all for it but does someone being fat or slim, old or young dictate whether or not they can act?

Its not relevant to the programme or the thread.

Didn't see this, but for any Emmerdale fans on here, the cops arrived into the pub with a photo of a guy, said his body had been found, and someone in the pub exclaimed, oh it's Alex... What if his family happened to be there, bit harsh to find out like that

Nobody should have to apologise for complimenting some one bar the comments being overly crude or sexual or something . Youthfulness and slenderness are big deals to most of us! Leave a well meaning person alone!

They are not crude or sexual or something, they just aren't relevant thats all.
Just like the fantasy Stephen stories aren't relevant..

I'm not trying to be argumentative with people I just don't see why someones weight/age or physical appearance should be mentioned here whereas I'm all for slagging their crap acting, the ridiculous storylines and their feckless morals

I like the general FC chitchat, personalities, comments, often some very humorous observations.

Sick of the constant Politically correct crap, right up to the t..tonsils with it, posters can't even give a compliment now without someone hopping on them.

But bringing up Emmerdale on the FC forum, that's not on.

One played by a bad actor with a serious attitude problem. HI ART.

Unbelievable that there were no scenes showing Caoimhe and her mam talking about the night she nearly died.

yeah exactly. I wouldn't go casting him as any other character though, it's hard to imagine it all being put on by the actor.

Now hold on a minute matey! Stephen is not a fantasy. He is a barman in McCoys public house in Carrickstown. He is very relevant to all the comings and goings in Carrickstown. So stop picking on Stephen. :cool:

The big difference between following FC and any English /Oz soap is that you have a huge chance of seeing one of the cast out and about. Without trying I've met half. Hence posters to this thread have always shared such "bumpings into" . To my knowledge no-one has ever been critical. The cast are normal people and we like that - their basket in Tesco is like ours!
Fact is also that if you meet someone "off the telly" . that you compare their appearance with how they look on television. At least 99% would! These musings are definitely part of the thread imho.

Judith would have to stop thinking about herself and her lost love Luke for a second to remember her only child not to have run away from her. Serve her right if Caoimhe desserts her now as well. Caoimhe was begging for someone to talk to about her ordeal and her guilt with last night.

Yeah, Desbrook. How is everyone's 'celeb' spotting going.
Ray was doing a bit of grocery shopping in Merrion SC other day, pretty girl with him, daughter I'd say.
Val was very tanned down in Arklow Tesco a few weeks ago

Never ever see Zumo in my travels, where is his stomping ground. I wonder does he go everywhere two steps behind Vivienne in real life?

I'ver seen him a few times in Cabra, obviously lives there!

Ray lives Crumlin, his partner used to play Francesca (Ray's one time on screen girlfriend)

I think Keith lives in that neck of the woods too, the actor who played him became a daddy aged 15!!

Isn't it better if people are honest and critical anyway?

For example, if someone has put on a bit of weight, surely they would like to be aware that this is noticeable instead of hiding it from themselves?

Most people are afraid to say negative things about people to them in real life, no wonder so many relationships are so confusing for people. And every good thing someone says has to be treated with suspicion. People should be grateful for a reality check.
