So Dan still owns the Station as Caoimhe needs him to sign cheques

I'm sure Dan sold the Station to Robbie shortly before the accident. That's how Robbie had the keys to the place and Dan was leaving for good the day of the explosion.

Gas how a few weeks back Jim couldn't go for a p*** without Bob being beside him. Now the son is around he's nowhere to be seen.....

Absolutely. But Carrigstown is such a big place. Maybe Bob's hiding out in the park, the really dark park!

Orla walked in on Jackie and Pete having a moment in Dol's kitchen - they almost kissed. Pete went ahead and denied denied denied, Orla made out she might tell Dol (but didn't)
New doc is Bob's son and Ama and Renee have put it together but Bob is MIA so it could be weeks before he gets to meet his son/nephew!
Irish Oral - Rachel went in and was very nervous. Examiner asked her (as Gaeilge) about her family and Rachel (as Bearla) told her how screwed up they all are. She spoke maybe 7 words of Irish in total. It was like a little breakdown, the scripting was horrid and the acting was worse.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

It's gas Niamh is so bothered about Rachel not doing enough study, I remember when she was doing the LC the bould Barry O Hanlon was giving her grinds of a different kind.

Barry should be due for release soon.

True, I think he went down for manslaughter so one would imagine he should be out soon.

I'd say he was a well behaved prisoner, couldn't see him taking a shank to anyone.

The lengths FC actors are asked to go to for the cause of their art.

I thought Dan decided not to sell and instead made Caoimhe manager hence her asking him to still sign cheques as owner

Caoimhe was made manager long before the selling business.. Remember she left the place open for Deco?

Officially manager


What does Robbie and Carol do there, Carol seems to spend more time there than with her son or running her taxi business

Then what the hell is Greasy doing there, giving orders to Caoimhe? Does Caddle bring Jack to work with her? And who runs her massive taxi emporium when she's pretending to be pulling pints?
And where is Sean gone, he's supposed to be working there? And why hasn't Stripey Debbie the cleaner shown up for months?
So many questions, but no answers.

I had to Google all this and during Christmas week, Yvonne and Carol were shocked to discover that Robbie was taking over the Station. This explains how he had the keys to the place the day of the explosion and was behind the counter (the explosion in the cellar was only a couple of weeks later in January).

I'm sure the implication was that Dan had sold the Station to Robbie, though I'm open to correction. We do know that Dan was leaving Carrigstown for good the day of the cellar explosion, presumably suggesting he was no longer the owner?

Thanks for looking this up. Isn't it strange that none of us seem to be 100% sure of who owns it or what happened even after watching it AND googling it?!

Sometimrs I wonder about the people who make FC. The other week Dan mentions to Robbie I think he's thinking about going back to The Station. " About time " he's told " the place needs ya, it hasn't been the same without ya, the punters all miss ya "

So on Sunday Dan made his grand entrance in the wheelchair into a packed pub - NOT ONE PUNTER EVEN NOTICED!?!?!!?

It's funny how Robbie can refuse and then grant Caoimhe a raise and increase her hours yet only Dan can sign cheques. The writers are consistent about one thing though - Dan is a retrohead! He still uses cheques and has black and white CCTV

I remember one of the closing clips on NYE on fair city was Robbie standing behind the counter as (what I took as) the landlord. I thought Dan signed the station over to Robbie? Maybe all bets were off when Dan got into the accident...

I'm sure I can recall Dan saying to Carol or Yvonne "I've sold the Station to Robbie" or "I'm selling the Station to Robbie". It would appear the scriptwriters have forgotten this

Yes, and both Yvonne and Carol were shocked when they found out about Dan's plans and that he was quitting Carrigstown.

The only explanation I can come up with is that the sale has somehow been reversed offscreen in light of Dan's accident.

Why does Caoimhe need Dan to sign cheques if Robbie is the owner?

And isn't Leo's wan supposed to be working there now as well? Even though we've never seen it! When she asked Caoimhe for a job,Caoimhe said "I'll have to check with the owner" then later told her "Robbie has ok-ed you for those hours!"

This is the most badly handled storyline I've ever seen in any soap. Who owns a pub & who works there are the most basic elements of a soap's community structure,yet the writers can't even remember that much from one episode to the next.

It's more than a bit insulting to expect viewers to just stupidly swallow this kind of inconsistent rubbish.

Robbie came into the show as a villain and a bookie so would be nice to see his villainous side again and him doing some illegal bookieing from back room of Station instead of nookieing

Galwayguy35

Don't know what they want all the people working in the Station anyway, I counted 8 customers there on Sunday.

Sure one person behind the bar would handle that.

At least they talk. Stephen in McCoys was an expert in body language, no words needed just a simple nod.

What about when Robbie and Callum robbed Paul's garage - has that just been left too or will it resurrect itself some time in the future?
