If they're still married, the Charlie Haughey spousal provision kicks in and he can't be disinherited.

Having said that, they could have left him 1/3, the kids 2/3 and have the kids force him to sell.

But... but... that's what I said?

No...you said that as it stands, he's entitled to nothing so the writers are correct.

If they're married (which people are saying they are), he's entitled to 1/3 'cause a spouse can't disinherit his/her spouse.

Nah...he is still being a dick...so clearly walking into a trap.

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.

They never re-married after they got divorced-

Czarcasm wrote: »

They actually didn't re-marry, Rita went out with Frank, and Bela went out with Pauline (who incidentally later married Leo!), and then they got back together, but were still only living together when Rita suffered a stroke and went into the home.

i see bela been watching revenge ....

why is jo still here???

also.. whos the actress who plays Louise? I think I know her from something!

deelite

I'm loving Louise and Ryan - hope they don't leave - really want to see a big gypsy style wedding in Fair City.

I was surprised that Rita didn't leave an equal share of her property/wealth to Rachel.

Rasheed

Can't understand how Ryan is portrayed as some gorgeous beefcake, obsessed with his appearance.

The poor lad is nothing to look at!

Perhaps Rachel gets Helens share of the house?

Everyone knows its going to happen sooner or later.

rachel goes full diva with rita money and leo daughter or charolette is impressed

Although Rachel isn't getting the money directly from Rita's will, I wonder if Bela somehow gets the money and passes some on to Rachel.

True, I thought that a deceased daughter's child would get her late mother's share

A deceased daughter's child would be a beneficiary if there was no Will, but I don't know what happens when there is a Will and she is not included.

Why was the will not read in a solicitors office??

lucretiaborgia

When my grandad die a few years ago, a while after the funeral, my dad had a phone call from the solicitor saying he was the executor of grandads will and could he call in for a reading of the will. An executor has quite a lot of things to do before everything is finalised.

Can't see how FC didn't even have a small reference to reality in this storyline..Bella just reads the will and announces later that he is going to contest it... Silly to say the least.

And what happened to his neck? Very nasty scar I noticed tonight... did the actor go for surgery? He sounded very hoarse too. I hope he's ok, good luck to him... and hopefully his maroon 'state line' t shirt will return soon too, I haven't seen it for a while.

Except it's not, because "Bellum" is the Latin word for war, and Bella is the Latin word for beautiful.


Perhaps you were thinking of "Bellona", who was the Roman goddess of war?


In any case, as others have mentioned, it's "Bela" is the character in Fair City.

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

Mea culpa, this is why I scraped a pass in Latin for my Leaving Cert.
Edit: just checked google translate, you,re correct, bellum is war, Bella is wars; plural.

Bela Lugosi?

Bela was named after a vampire actor!

Leinsterr

Wow Fair City's budget must have gone through the roof. I have a feeling FC recruited Bruce Lee to choreograph not only the scrap between the Dillons but the bîtch fight between Louise and Yvonne.

HabeasCorpus

Is Carrigstown a little Principality not bound by Irish law regarding wills, property etc. The will reading, what was that? Whether or not Bela and Rita remarried, would he not have common-law rights when they lived together again, (if it was over 2 years?) and that alone would give him a claim to half the home, or in certain other cases, at least a right to live there for the remainder of his life. Anyway, the 'children' would hardly force their father to sell the house to get their share right away -would they? Judas Yvonne got in there. I think Bela is a great actor, locking that shower out.


Has Bela money of his own? I thought Yvonne was paying for everything.

That little man is acting like a toddler with his apoplectic horror at the mildest suggestions from Jo. I don't want your beef stew! Tantrums, then, I'm not going Sunday! Right! He looks like such a plonker. He has a field of palpable rage around him. His eyes bulge and bobble around. Real bag of laughs for Maeve. She must reckon she has absolutely no chance of any other offers. Hope he breaks his a*** skiing.

sorry I don't know much background of characters, just getting hooked lately.

Degringola

Anyone know who the father of Suzanne's child, Hannah, is?
Also did she say she names her after her grandmother, who was that?

youwould

That awkward moment when you work in a Centra shop and Neasa comes in to buy toilet paper!:D

His name was David I think.....he eventually scarpered off. He is Esther's son, who gave him up for adoption when he was born. He was a Thalidomide baby.

Hanna was Rita's mother who died a long time ago.

It's a soap,
You'll have to suspend your disbelief somewhat.

Why didnt Rita's brother vincent come to the funeral?

when FC updates there opening music are so many years i loved this

why did they change this

random fair city , the face of jo , ah baby ben kill him now , jesus look at dermot at 4:30 he was huge

His eyes darting all over and terrible terrible acting

I didn't realise new fans were precluded.

However, as one of the illegal 'new fans' I must be among that number whom you contemptuously call a "fan", I do know who Rita is/was. And furthermore, know who Pete is. I also know he skives off away from Dolores to the better looking women in RAW, under pretense of being in the UK.
and thanks to earlier poster, I know not to be too disbelieving about dramatic parting of the ways from truth in FC- because it is soap.

I must be almost a fan now, rather than a "fan".
