Who the f*ck says that. PINT OF WHAT?

Plenty of customers just ask for a pint in their local, because they are regulars the barman will know what they drink. Nothing at all strange there.

I have to give credit to FC and the actor who plays Paddy - Paddy Bishop will go down as one of the most manipulative, cleverest, cunning baddies ever on the show, playing brilliantly by Andrew, up there with Billy Meehan imo

I thought Paddy was going to fag burn Viv's underarms when he told her to kneel and put on hands behind her head

I'm not a massively big fan of FC but I drop in from time to time.... I like the acting of this story line but when Paddy told Viv to kneel I was out of that channel like a shot.........I had visions of all sorts and all I could feel was her fear.........good acting......I hate the idea that women have that sort of a control freak living under their roof.........

There is another way to live ladies....or gentlemen as the case may be....

I bet Vivienne thought her knees would be sore for a different reason when she was squirting on the perfume !
Good acting out of Paddy . Why did Viv leave the back door option till last when trying to escape ? Instead she went for the other door into the hall where he was already standing WTF Viv ?

The guy who plays Paddy Bishop is a terrific actor. I've no idea what's due to happen as I've been avoiding the spoilers but I hope Paddy will be in Carrigstown for a good while to come.

Hi all first time posting here, just thought I'd join in on discussion as I'm following fc ATM and have been for quite some time now.
I completely and totally agree with the post quoted above. RTE should be told they have a teriffic actor there, hope he wins some awards and stays around for a while to come. Tonight's eppisode was kind of difficult for me to watch for personal reasons, I've read some spoilers but no idea what wil actually happen in the end. I think it is fabulous and to be given some credit on behalf of RTE, that they are finally stepping up and covering domestic violence. It is still in some ways a taboo in ireland so fair play to them and the teriffic actors they have doing this storyline at the moment. Only hope that there won't be complaints now or something and they'll have to stop theh storyline, knowing ireland it could happen

when is paddy leaving ?

cas fair city never announce new character or when there leaving lol

Andrew Connolly who plays Paddy Bishop is a great actor. I hope he is in FC for a long time too and then in series 5 of Love/Hate. He is the best villain in FC since Billy Meehan (although much more ruthless in many regards I would say).

This actually happened with the Dominic storyline (he was supposed to rape his girlfriend, Tracy, who also was the victim of Billy Meehan before that!) but instead he just threatened to beat her, hit her maybe once and then committed suicide.

By all means, have a warning that there is adult content in the drama but if you look at Fair City at its best, it always involves violent control freaks like Meehan or Bishop, drug dealers, deranged paranoid individuals, extreme jealousy, and other darker storylines. Likewise, the same sources give us Love/Hate. And you see all the criticism about the cat (actually, the most pampered cat in Ireland and yes still alive!) but good Irish dramas are brave and stand against and do not fear this backlash.

However, if we were to listen to the critics, good Irish drama would not be made. We would still be doing Glenroe with all its innocence and using that format to apply to other types of drama. We would be getting The Big Bow Wow over and over and over in other words! Characters like Nidge, Fran the Man, Billy Meehan and Paddy Bishop (the latter being actually the most evil) are among the most memorable Irish drama ever produced and a million miles away from Dinny and Miley Byrne and their Big Bow Wow caricatures.

It is because of advertising, they can't name the brand.

Yep, and you'll often see the actors hands covering the labels also

Very doubtful. The storyline he's involved in would suggest he's on borrowed time. It is a pity because he's the best actor the show has seen in a while.

iguy

I wonder why Garda Deegan isn't involved in this storyline.

Also I can see Paddy remaining on the show for a good while longer, fair city tend to drag out storylines as ye know anyway, if they do drag it out they better drag it out good and not make us as viewers get bored....

Better than Billy Meehan, IMO. We get to see the impact on a family with Paddy. Not just his wife, but they way he has damaged the lives of his children. Denzo is on the run. Zumo and Decco are thugs with no future. Even Charlotte is pretty dark for a teenager and already attracted to "dangerous" guys like Callum.

It's bad enough what these people do to outsiders, but what goes on behind closed doors is chilling. That's why Paddy is so good.

Good, actor was good but Paddy creeped the heck out of me.

Where has Callum gone? It's amazing that Doug's court appearance was heard with in a week and Callum's has been forgotten about.

Never thought I'd hear myself say it but the acting in last night's episode was excellent.

Talking about various FC badasses over the years, does anybody remember Terrence , who killed Leo's Russian wife Lana ? He was a right evil f****er :eek:

I want to see Mr. Bishop brought to justice, but it don't look like Mrs. Detective Lady will be the one to do it.

Oh how i hope Mrs Detective Lady will be the one to get him. I hated the way he was so bloody smug in the questioning room. The way he called her filth and pig was disgusting, I know this is probably the way scumbags behave but I found it hard to watch.
