No-one enquires about Callum or his welfare/whereabouts anymore either. Even his parents. Out of sight out of mind for the residents of Carrigstown. No doubt if Caoimhe had gone to Kilkenny,Damian would've just carried on as normal,happy as larry & forgotten all about the fact that he had a child out there. It's not very realistic.

Nice to see that someone cares enough to ask. His family obviously doesn't!
By the way.Doctor Doolittle went out to Africa about a year ago for a six- month stay. Has she too been forgotten about? And Bob went out to sweep the footpath about a month ago and hasn't come back in since.
And if Carrigstown Garda station has a missing persons unit, they should start looking for Frank. He's missing too. There are cars and vans driving all around the place now with broken tail-lights.
Carrigstown is a paradise for law-breakers....

When has Paul ever mentioned Oisin? his son in Cork, even when Nicola came up that time I dont even think he asked her about him, and he never goes down to cork to see him either, absolute joke.

Must say I thought last night was excellent. It was rather tense watching Neil on the banister, I thought for a minute he might actually fall! Brilliant actor and the lad who plays Dan was great too. The bipolar storyline has definitely turned the show around imo.

I liked the Rachel/Paul conversation too. Good acting from the girl who plays Rachel. As I said previously though, why does Rachel NEVER mention Helen? She seems to think of Niamh as her mother (so does Niamh!). I know Rachel lost her mother when she was very young (like 2?) but still...it's odd that she's never mentioned, I thought she would've been last night by Paul - it's even odder that he never mentions her.

The Damien/Caoimhe pregnancy story is good too. I'm intrigued about Damien's tramautic childhood. I never watched it years ago so I presume it was covered then - but what's the full story? From what I gathered last night, his father was abusive and an alcoholic. What about his mother?

Anyways, I really do think the standard has upped at FC. Maybe they've changed their writers but for once I don't actually think it's crap with crap acting - dare I say it's getting really good Long may it continue!

Damian's father was a violent, abusive man who beat up his wife and family. He ended up killing his wife and then himself. He was Marty Halpin, basically Billy Meehan mark 2 without the drug dealing.

When caoimhes baby is born, will Tommy be back and discover Junior is his? Damo will come round eventually and it'll be grand I'm sure. He did have an issue with Suzanne and children and they agreed not to have children, but Suzanne wasn't entirely happy with that.

I think Tommy is coming back into it this or next week?

I think Niamh adopted Rachel too, so it's natural they would consider themselves mother and daughter. Helen is mentioned from time to time, sometimes by Paul, sometimes by Bela, maybe once or twice by Yvonne? There was something recently about Rachel having a photo of her too.

Watching Vikings here now. Series 3 episode 7. Good old Doctor Jim is in it playing a French lad called Count Odo.
I remember Louie Gleeson in it Series 1.
I think I'll give up on Fair City for a while, it's just ridiculous at the moment.

He was much more likeable than Billy Meehan, a skanger thug played by a skanger thug.

Shouldn't damo apply for planning permission for this extension?

Laura is quite anti-child though.

Also - why do they keep mentioning "the baby". It's a fetus. :rolleyes:

Which made him worse. With Meehan, you knew what you were getting. He was a violent, reckless, wifebeating drug dealer that even Nidge and Fran would distance themselves from! But Halpin (can't remember what his job was but it was not criminality) was a seemingly respectable guy who could show 2 sides. I don't recall him being an alcoholic or drug addict either. He was a bit like Coronation St's Richard Hillman. But more angry (Hillman was a conniving murderous suave conman; Halpin was a man who could not control himself but could also convince people he changed).

Nah! That's for ordinary people. FC folks just have to announce their plans, and hey presto, within a week laundrettes are open, houses bought and sold, jobs obtained, two-story houses become bungalows, and every week people move from one house in the street to another house in the street. Without the need for plastic bags or cardboard boxes.
Carrigstown - heaven on earth :rolleyes:

It's just a plot device anyway! They're doing another renters shuffle to bring people together.
Katie moved back home because hormonal caliche goes crazy about conditioner leaves a 'spare room' for The Baby.
Laura has no choice but to move in with Nina.
Louise and Dean, our resident posers, move in together.
Mondo living with Decco to cause friction
Neil living in Charlie's with doctor Shane
Then Dolores's
Dolores probably moves into Orla and Wayne's 'spare room'

We all know what's going to happen when Farrah shows those photos to the agent, don't we?

I hope it develops into a running joke on FC that Meeeeeeee Daaaaaaaaaaa takes up a new profession every 4/5 months and completely disregards her last jobs!

Lol. Watching on +1 now. Could have sworn when Tommy Dillon asked Orla what's the baby's name, she said 'Ram Junior'!
