Bryan Murray was excellent in that last scene. His delivery and prediction of what might happen when Hedder loses it sent chills down my spine.

Had to laugh at the crowd of them out the back of McCoys planning a holiday in 'Eye-biza'.
Pierce is only just back and he's going on holidays again??
And says Katie 'we can't just disappear'
It's ok Katie, ye all disappear every few weeks and nobody bats an eyelid

Decco : ''If Mondo screws up on more time on me, he's out!''

Well Dec, just curious. What exactly constitutes 'screwing up'? Maybe the fact that there hasn't been sight or smell of Mondo in Carrigstown since September? Would that maybe be grounds for dismissal?

Of course, if everyone there got sacked for not turning up, there would be nobody left in Carrigstown. Jane, Orla and Wayne re-appeared last week after having a good long rest, this week Katey and Shakey-head reported for duty after having a nice lie-in lasting months.

When Shakey-head said he'll go to Eye-bizza, SourPuss reminded him he has a job to go to. ''Ah sure'', says Shakey, ''everyone is entitled to annual leave''....
Dougie, ya eejit, you haven't darkened the door of the garage since early Autumn, and now ye want to go gallivanting off to Spain? Oh, go on, then, it's not like you do fook-all around here anyway, and with your twitching, maybe we'd be safer not letting you anywhere near a mechanically-propelled vehicle

In fairness, how must the 'actors' feel when they're told every few weeks that they have no work for a while?
Picture the scene at the monthly production meeting..........

Producer : ''Charlie, you have no work for the next ten weeks''

Charlie : ''I say, that's inexcusable and highly irregular, my good fellow. I simply must finish the auditing for the centre, and there's the twice- daily stock taking to complete. You do not seem to realise that a managerial position is all-encompassing''

Producer : ''Sorry, that's how it is. Same goes for you, Leo''

Leo : ''Wha'? Nutting stirrin' for two months? What'll I do with me hands? Sure dat's only brutal, so 'tis, wha?''

Producer : ''And you, Cass.''

Cass : ''Oh , begob, are yeh codding me or wha'? And me sprouts and winter spuds still in de ground. And I still have three payments to make on me fine leather coat. Dat's cat, dat is''

Producer : ''Kerri-Anne, four weeks rest for you''

Kerri - Anne : ''Oh, fiddlesticks! Still, Mr Producer, at least now if you come round to my place, I'll have time to check your roots and maybe polish your cuticles''

Producer : ''Sean, Neil, Callum, Barman-who-shall-be-nameless, and Silent Soft-drink-buyer, you all have a few months off too. Isn't that great?.....Oh no, wait, you guys haven't walked the streets of Carrigstown since last July. Ah, sure the long range weather forecast is good for the rest of this year, so take this summer off too, enjoy yourselves and maybe, just maybe, we'll see you again next winter.
Thank you all for your time, and don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.
Byeeeee!''

And if they're gonna go somewhere in winter, go somewhere warm, that's actually 'on season'

They can surely hardly be going to Ibiza at the start of February. It's off season there and the temperature is only around 15C and it's cold at night time.

And when did they become a group of friends that they'd go off to Ibiza together?Surely Pierce has his own friends he'd rather go with.

Yea Murray was good but the lighting was key. FC is so fond of flat lighting and boring camera angles, it was great to see something different - actual shadows!

I thought more should have been made though of the fact that Heather was painting Shane in a very different light to Renee. No doubt the "writers" want to get a few more weeks from it

Looked more like Pierce just wants their money, he's going to "book the holiday on his card" and run off with their dosh. His app must be crap. Poor Rachel will be crying again, great.

I thought he said the holiday was on him.

I think they're just throwing random characters of roughly the same age together (but the writers seem to be forgetting that Doug is several years older than the others).

Hedder must have came down the stairs on purpose, either that or she really needs a hearing aid.
Yet again I had to mute when Bela was on screen.
Dean must spend a fortune on black and grey hair dye to cover up his ginger. Damo too, jet black hair and ginger eyebrows.

I got the feeling last night with Turkey head that he was going to somehow develop an app and make a fortune

"Do ya make much money from these, like, apps????" as his thoughts wander off into the distance.....I reckon Turkey is going to invent Tinder and leave FC richer than Mark Zuckerberg

With that in mind pierces app sound pretty stupid & impossible enough.

What was with Adam phoning at the end unable to make the pitch? Why did pierce lie to Rachel?

Would Header not make more sense than Hedder?? Just something thats been irritating me!!

not that sense and FC go hand in hand!!

endofrainbow

Bob Charles really starting to annoy me with his jazz hands - constant hand gestures in EVERY scene .....

Maliboo Stacey

Loving this thread. It's added a whole new dimension to watching Fair City. And given the story lines and writing 'lately', a new dimension is very welcome

The Talking Bread

Would I ever watch FC without this thread??????..............

That Dr love us some dirt bird!
Ha back to the pod.....wheeling and dealing, oh rachel you are a real high flyer now.

groucho marx

I actually dislike jane more than heather.
I really want ama to catch the 2 cheaters. Ha nice wall paper, what dump are these bucko s drinking in.

Beechfiled

Is that 10x10 little sitting room the only room above the pub.

Loved that scene at the end between Bob and Heather. Why is Jane so obsessed with Payne and JA?
