That was so strange. If anything Paul was trying to ruin Charlie's class?! Yet Charlie blamed Doug for a bit of drama...

It's FC. Far from strange to them!

Okay - so why does Carol HAVE to work for Flynn ?? Would it not be more realistic for Carol to blame Robbie's debts for the whole mess and hence Robbie himself ?? Just dump him and wash her hands of it all ? What happened to "I don't want another Billy Meehan in my life , not after my poor Lorcan " ? Why can't Robbie sell his half of the Station? Questions, questions, questions !!!

Is Hayley working from Flynn or Robbie?

Charlie was set up by the "writers" last night. They obviously want boardsies to hate his character even more. Any fairminded person would have noted that firstly that Doug was approached by Paul not the other way round, secondly that Paul started the insults and taunts with no provocation. It would have been easy to write a scene where Paul just stopped to watch and Doug let fly across the street. Strange that's not what we saw ? Then Charlie's reaction might have been justified !

Paul appeared to be playing weird mind games last night. He had a positive reference for Doug in his pocket and yet started taunting him in front of other people.

No doubt the scriptwriters are doing this as some sort of preamble to their September storyline, but they have Paul acting out of character. There's no way he would be involved in constant public petty squabbling with a couple of nonentities like Doug and Neil.

But desbrook, you're falling into the trap of trying to make sense of FC.
in the nearly 30 years of it's existence, Fair City 'writers' have never, ever taken the most sensible route. Everything has to be dragged out and beaten to death, till the viewers have actually forgotten what the original story was about
Either that, or the stories come to a sudden end, with no conclusion or explanation, the whole scenario is never mentioned again, and the viewers have become so muddled that they think it's their own fault for not paying enough attention to the 'plots'

Probably never know, and as coolhul alluded to, regarding the writings and plots, she'll probably fall off the face of the earth and never be heard from again.

Does Robbie run the bar full time now? Where is his bookie empire gone, where is Dan gone. Does he know Robbie is living in he flat now.

Don Baker had taken up residence in the Bistro, had he been to Spar and the Hungry pig yet.

Robbie still has his betting shops. That's apparently how he owes Flynn 40k.

Mother of god....I tell you, I guarantee that look was his idea, and not the wardrobe people. And he probably insisted on it. Poser!

I was so glad for the extra viewing Damiens house, that it cut to a commercial break. I don't think I could handle any stab at acting. However I wasn't so lucky when we got to the garage scene with Paul. That extra was all hands and head jerks, but not a single word such as, ah here, ya can fcuk off with your ****e lads. I guess they hire extras with absolutely zero ability, because the main cast only have a tiny bit of ability.

CollyFlower

They don't like having the extras speak as they have to pay them more.

coolhull

Sometimes the extras give us better value than the so-called 'stars'
At least the sight of the extras nodding and smiling is easier to watch than Orla's banshee wailing.
Though that fella in the garage really outshone himself.
Maybe RTE should consider giving him his own show

Have you ever noticed 99% of the extras are COMPLETELY mute in fair city. I mean not a peep off them nor an expression like they are soulless empty vessels! Take the man buying the car of Don Paulioni Brennan Thursday. Not a whisper while paul bladdered on then when Neil came along and the sledging between them ensued he just froze and then suddenly jolted off with not a peep from him!! Likewise the old ladies with Doug and the tyre changing (think they managed to be allowed a giggle but that was probably ad lib as they surveyed the ridiculousness of the whole scene)

As has been mentioned they are extras not actors. There are restrictions on how many words they can speak and they get paid less. Union rules.
