I thought I saw Eoghan accidentally elbow Michael in the head. I assume he didn't realise he did it though.

I think he's wondering if it's his fault.

he didn't headbutt Flynn when he saw him in the balentine last night or how did he knock him out? and then the rest came in to take over?

I thought the 'silent' scenes were the most 'heartbreaking' , maybe heartbreaking is the wrong word, 'moving', maybe.

I heard that the actor playing Michael died when they were filming the scene. The writers decided to keep the footage - his family aren't too pleased.

I think they did something similar for the woman who played Hannah Finnegan. She also died on the set.

Really? The actor playing Michael died. Goodness, I didn't know that.

So he died in the chair, and the actors playing his parents decided to adlib a scene of them trying to wake him up. Then the official RTÉ account makes tweets like this, knowing that the actor is dead:




Sure.

I also hear that the lesbian love triangle was never intended, it's just some of the actresses got really horny and started riding each other and the Fair City director thought he should leave it in because it was hot stuff

Jaze that doc didn't hang about! Your son is dead and hes not coming back .... get over it!

what the actual..... I just saw that part holy **** my god :mad::mad::mad:

Well, anyway after all that, I suspect the next love triangle looks set to be Heather, Max and Farrah.
Is there anybody left now that hasn't been in one yet

Crazy Christ

Couldn't they have just replaced him with a bell, like they did with Rita. Maybe a bell is too passé. Why not a bell smartphone app.

And if you had done the most cursory of searches before responding, you'd know that he didn't. Really people, this is the Internet. Don't believe everything you read on it, and also, when "you're told" something, check it FFS.

Let's see. The actor who played Michael is called Richard McWilliams. Hmmmm. Somebody told me that he's David McWilliams; son, and he's leaving Fair City to help his father to teach his new course on Economics in Trinity.

You need to check on your sarcasm detector.

Hannah was Rita's mother and dont think the actress died on set

Fair City director is Fred Scuttle

The doctor scene wasn't that bad. No sign of Michael in the episode or no urgency for the family to see him is what's pathetic.

walshb

My god... Damo and Dan's reaction to the death was horrendously boring. You'd swear they'd just been told that their favourite soccer team only drew.

Somewhere in the mysterious RTE scriptroom this conversation went down 2 months ago......



ok guys, we are going to have two hostage situations,

Debbie will be locked in the basement fearing for her life after Cathal finds out she knows everything (whatever the f she does know????)

In the station 5 people locked up by a crazed gun wielding psycho (for no reason)


the crazed psycho will be dying of a terminal illness

one of the hostages has a serious heart condition

there will be a big chase scene around the Ballantine as Gripey angrily captures the man who has held his wife/partner hostage...how will he deal with him??

eventually the psycho gunman will be caught and all the hostages will have an opportunity to kill him all with a deep resentment for terrorising them



and guess what guys.... WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DEATH!!!

So lets troubleshoot... any ideas how we will kill someone off??"


A guy stands up......


"hmmm how about someone just nods off in a wheelchair at the end of the episode??"

"Ok thats brilliant?? And Dan is in a wheelchair and owns the station and is such a boring character now! Perfect setup."


I was actually thinking Michael?? we will give him Dans wheelchair for a week??


All cheer and clap.





Producer. "That, my fellow writers, is how you write scripts...!!"
