She got her bag and she went.

The point of product placement is that it's supposed to be subtle. This doesn't apply to the Fair City people. I mean, who puts a bottle of 7-Up on the breakfast table?

I remember a few years back, everybody in McCoy's was drinking Miller beer and the only beermats in the pub were Miller beermats :rolleyes:

We get it,she pissed in a bin. It's getting older quicker than the Stephen jokes.

If the Stephen jokes along with the Orla pissing in a bin tale get Stalin'd from the thread then so do the Ama comments.

'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'

the funny old story about jokes

its funny the first few times , then after that it becomes annoying

Let's hope so given the ones mocking her accent seem borderline racist to me.

Considering its not a real accent (she puts it on) - is it still racist? Jesus. Next time I go to New York and the bar lady tries copy my 'brogue' remind me to accuse her of being racist, or when I'm in England and they make fun of me for saying "it's the turd of November"

Murdoc90

No more slagging Mondos birds accent. I'm highly offended as an irish person. ^_^

Don't think they're being racist towards Ama it's more that it's a terrible put on one.

Not sure- the dodgy accents were annoying me, so I switched to watching sickness films on True Movies 1. Check out his imdb profile- there's a pic of him dressed as a lady.

Obviously, months will pass before Leo stands trial for gross negligence manslaughter. It look like either he'll be convicted by the jury or he'll plead guilty. If he pleas guilty, he might get a suspended sentence.

Or maybe the FC writers are hoping that in a few months the viewers will have forgotten the whole fire thing ever happened, and life in Carrigstown will just move on at its own leisurely pace.
Already, the topic of the factory fire doesn't even get a mention, and it's like Greyie and even Tommie never existed.
FC script -writers are able to bring messy scenarios to a conclusion by simply sending the characters involved to a relative in Kilkenny/ Cork for a few weeks, and when they come back, it's like anything that happened before has been consigned to the dustbin of history, never to be mentioned again.... Oh, happy days!

Agreed. Script writers of FC are very disjointed. Too many cooks spoil the broth.

I think the biggest problem with Fair City is that they have a storywriting team rather than just one/two/three writers so at times you can have a different writer writing each episode and sometimes that can make it feel a bit disjointed.

Not sure if it's that. More detrimental is the need to make the show issue driven rather than character driven . At the moment the only character that they seem to leave alone is Yvonne. However I fear this will change with the imminent storyline :-(

The show and its characters have indeed suffered due to the show's issue driven agenda - the issue of cheating during a cake baking contest has ruined Carol, the issue of falling for somebody who is engaged to be married to somebody else has positively damaged Orla and Wayne beyond repair and the terrible issue of being a bimbo with new addition Kerri-Ann is indeed taking this issue led agenda to the extreme. :rolleyes:

Bill1709

Why is everyone convinced that this so called yvonne storyline is definitely occurring? I see no evidence and it makes zero sense that such a story would be released to the public so far in advance. . . .
