Nikki is such an irritating character.
That was a bit of a let down

And on it goes. If only the Gardai put such passion and effort into catching real criminals.

Dan Chipowski

Thirty minutes of nothingness.

I know it wasn't the fact that he stored her number under her real name that 'cooked his goose'...its just that by not disguising her number, he was risking having it cooked a whole lot quicker 😀.

To be fair, her name being in the phone wasn't Brian being dumb it was a plot device. If there had just been a number in the phone this thread would have been filled with people asking "Whose number was it?"

Disappointing episode. I was on the edge of my seat all through it and then nothing.

I suspect Brian is dead and we are going to get a flashback episode at some point to show how he died

Or else we think he is dead and the the showrunners bring him back next year to drag the plot out more!!

What him getting out of the shower then slipping and falling? :pac:

I doubt it to be honest. Either yer man Moran picked him up and Brian is in a basement somewhere with some very sore ribs, or after the wife turfed him out he realised he chances of getting off in court were suddenly a lot slimmer so he took his fake passport and boarded a ferry somewhere.

The Talking Bread

obviously going to be a Whodunnit (murder ) story with 6 or 7 suspects.

Dan Chipowski

Another episode where basically nothing happened.

Vincent's lucky boots are more enthralling than this McGonigle rubbish.

The Talking Bread

This McGonigle stuff is never going to end ever is it.............................................................................. Its so anticlimatic at this stage.

nikkibikki

Starting to turn into EastEnders, dragging the arse out of every big story....snore...

It's very unrealistic IMO. Have I missed something? Why are the Gardai acting like he's jack the ripper. They are hell bent on getting him. Surely it's not just for the Rachel Reid issue, which is a sham. She's a scourge, and the most hostile witness ever. As Brian's missus described her on Wednesday, a conniving little bi%Ch!.

I don't understand either why Rachel's father and sister are so hell bent on getting the case to court rather than on rebuilding their relationship with her. Even if Brian was to technically "get away with it", he's already ruined by the whole thing.

On the other hand, I've enjoyed these episodes....there's a lot of suspense in trying to guess what has happened to him or where he is.

Well his harassment of Sharon for a start. Getting her suspended when everyone knows she is innocent. Breaking into her house and trying to frame her. All the guards know they were manipulated by Brian when Sharon originally pointed the finger at him, so understandably they want to get him. Plus it would look really bad for them if they arent seen to be doing everything they can to track him down.

I was thinking of the Sharon angle, because the Reid angle makes no sense at all, crime committed or not.

I always had a thing for Niamh but the last few episodes, sweet devine. What a belter! Lucky Sean.

gubby

I feel sorry for Niamh.. I know she is much older than Rachel but the way the father is acting he only has one daughter.. its all about Rachel.

I don't think he's a good father at all to be honest. He seems to be a hothead with a temper on him and he makes a lot of crass mistakes.

Ann22

Aw the poor man's demented. He's trying his best to protect her. I can imagine how angry he must be.

That's just what she is. She knew well what she was doing imo.

I think Liam has the patience of a saint. I think the only crass mistake he made was not locking Rachel up much sooner.

Dan Chipowski

This is all over the place now.

Two more atrocious episodes until a far too heavy handed ending. And even in death we couldn't get that smug grin off Brian's chops.

McGonigle/the actor and one of the best storylines of recent soap times. Portrayed villain, human and good cop since its inception and I am sad to see him go. Having said that, the timing was right and the baddie had to go.

And for those that don't like Brian's smug grin....that's what made it for me. Soap villian RIP.

Now...who did it?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

It's a shame his Adam's Apple moved at the end there and him supposed to be dead.

Has Sharon murdered him? Looks like she expected her own face to show up on the CCTV footage.

I think it may have been Tommy - the doc said he has bruising on his ribs that she suspected were there a few days - Angela didn't know anything about it, maybe he had a fight with Brian?

maybe we should be using spoilers...

Don't know if you mean that for my comment - but if so, its not a spoiler, its only my guess

walshb

Maybe he's not dead, and they can drag another few weeks out of his character and story?
