    That was compelling. My stress levels are through the roof!

    Is Paddy Bishop the vilest, nastiest character in the history of any soap? I can't think of one who has ever been scarier and crueller.

    But I am so, so ready for him to be bumped off now. Cannot come soon enough!

    Bryan Murray that owns the Hungry Pig was another wife beater/child abuser in Brookside, he ended up under the patio.
    He was pretty horrible too.

    I wish they'd hurry up and make sure that the Bishops get help and that Paddy gets what he deserves cos I can't watch anymore of those scenes. The young actress who plays Charlotte was amazing tonight and Viv too, but really, I have to turn away. It's so awful to think that some families really do have to suffer domestic abuse and violence.

    Yes, a few proper laughs please from Mondo's bimbo, and a few classic Wayne gaffs - please!!! We need them!

    I remember him in Brookside very well. He was brilliant in it. Don't remember him being as scary as Paddy though.

    Tremendous performances from all the Bishops tonight. So creepy and scary, they all seemed so powerless against that evil b***ard.

    Love that - Mondo's bimbo - brilliant. I like her though, a bit of a laugh after the scary scenes at the Bishops.

    Is this the same Zumo that floored Paddy a few weeks ago?Pity there's no golf clubs laying around

    It's a joke. Zumo never showed fear of Paddy in any scenes and now he's crying like a sissy?

    I had to laugh at Wayne comparing Mondo and Caoimhe. Scunthorpe and Spurs. Is this the same girl that has had more c&%k than hot showers?

    Fair City is doing a great job with this storyline. How they can instill fear in the viewer and all that.

    Paddy is a pig. Did you hear what he said to Viv about Charlotte - 'should have got rid of her while you had a chance'. Probably relating it to her cancer.

    Andrew Connolly plays the villain brilliantly. Paddy is one scary mofo. Desperate to see Zumo and Decco beat the tar out of him. He's held his own against kids, women and old people, all that's left is grown men, in the forms of his adult sons, even if he refers to them as children.

    Jesus RTE, way to get ahead of yourself and show
    Paddy on the run from the law and returning to Carrigstown straight after a scene in which noone was any the wiser of the abuse and the murder

    Mondo: Let's go to McCoys for a pint.
    Wayne: Ermmmm......I'm not sure.
    Mondo: Ah c'mon, I'll even let you pay.
    Wayne: Ok, so.

    Classic Wayne.........:pac:

    Paddy's mistake is that by the time he got out of prison it was too late to be the kind of father that he wanted to be.

    Also, I don't believe his treatment of Charlotte is in even the remotest sense believable.

    I think she was going to have an abortion. But viv ran away, i think.

    I thought that was brilliantly done. Called her home from school, making her think something dramatic had happened to one of her family. Making her kneel (the way my Da did it to me), calling her names and getting others to do the same. The result was that Charlotte was terrified, demoralised and degraded without Paddy laying a finger on her. Jeez I was never a fan of Charlotte but my heart went out to her tonight.

    It illustrates that psychological abuse can be as/or more damaging than physical abuse.

    As someone who works with abuse victims, it's likely the scriptwriters did their research on this one. Very believable, unfortunately.

    The way Paddy treated his family in tonight's episode reminded me of a scene from the League of Gentlemen when Pop disowns his son Rich for allowing nine Maverick bars to be stolen from the newsstand!

    I cannot understand why Zumo did not beat the crap out of Paddy for his hideous behaviour.

    Still not convinced, it just doesn't seem to fit with his character for me. Especially considering how girls from "tough" families are skanky all the time, I'm not buying it. The worst he would say is "people are going to say you're a slut, my daughter the slut", not just repeatedly call her it.

    Maybe Vivienne's concoction caused a personality change as well?

    I too was willng Zumo to deck Paddy. But can see that he's brought them all back to a very dark place, like when they were kids. I was expecting Charlotte to stand up to him though and felt his treatment of her really disgusting.

    Hope he gets what's coming to him. Hard hitting for soapland this storyline. But close to home for some unfortunately.

    Unfortunately it does seem believable to many! Incl me. He's trying to humiliate her, to teach her the lesson only he, the authoritarian can, so he thinks anyway.
