Fair City [News, Spoilers & Discussion v6] Read Post #1 Before Contributing

Would Mondo's Ma ever feck off and open her BnB in France SOON. Cant stick her.

Half the cast are probably heading to jail: Gripey, Denzo, probably Dermish and Niamh (how can she only own one handbag????) and the mystery kidnapper.

By the way, Solicitors dont do house calls, or meet clients in coffee shops, completely unrealistic. Neither can Accountants re-mortgage businesses/properties - Solicitors do that. Oisin cant just open a speakeasy - there are licensing laws. Obviously not in FairY-TALE-City though.....

Solicitors do do house calls, I worked in a solicitors office and the solicitor would meet people in their homes, nursing homes and hotels in the city if that's where the client preferred to meet. There was a lot of stairs to the office and no lift so some elderly clients would find it difficult to get to the office.

Are you a middle-aged woman married to a rich husband who's cheating on you?
Are you scared that divorcing him would entitle you to only half of his vast fortune?
Fear not! Your worries are over..
For a seventy / thirty split, I can help you to not only get all his money, his kids, and his many businesses, but also leave him with absolutely nothing but his boxers and the black overrcoat he's wearing...
All it takes is two meetings in my house (Sundays are ideal) or quick meet-up in a Spar. I'll bring along the only thing we'll need, a single sheet of paper that contains the entire details of your husband's businesses. His tax returns, his VAT invoices, certificates of his stocks and share portfolio, and his profit-and-loss projections for the next 5years. In fact, if you want I can even provide you with the receipt for his overcoats. I keep this stuff typed out on a small bit of paper that I lug around in my pocket.
"But is it legal?" I hear you ask.
Of course it's legal, and even if it's not, it doesn't matter, because I plan on dying sometime soon. Unless, of course, someone, a neighbour maybe, kicks the bucket and bequeaths me her liver. That kind of thing wouldn't be uncommon in Carringstown. In that case, I probably won't die.
Sh*t! Sh*t! Let me think.....
Yes! I have it!... Maybe you could die yourself. That would take the pressure off both of us. Yes, I know you plan on living for a long time yet, but if you like, I can arrange a little 'accident'.
Gripey hasn't been jailed yet, and I can maybe persuade him to use his lethal elbow one more time. Leave it with me....
Anyway, this time next year, we'll be millionaires (well, one of us will)

Happy Days!

What's more ridiculous is that only Dermot twigged the Ram and Debbie affair. Rose, Hotel Cleaner, Damo, Caoimhe, LoveHate, Deegan, Sex Cop, KT and Stella all100% know about the affair but haven't told one person! Dermot only had suspicions and he went to the Ram then told Eoghan. I know it's a different writer but if I was told my wife was having and a month later she left me I'd put 2 and 2 together. The Ram and Deb are in local pub just the 2 of them nearly every episode and no one else has twigged it?? The local pub. Would you meet your lover in the local pub when you know every single person bar a few extras in the village! It shows how little respect the writers have for the viewer

And you can also liquidise - or is that liquidate - all his assets and move the cash offshore - just like that?? He's not going to notice his properties etc being sold from under him?? And sure opening a bank account in the Cayman Islands or wherever is as easy as ever. No one asks questions, just one click of a button and it's all transferred. Of course accessing it subsequently is another days work but we won't worry about that now. Sure it sounds great.

I'm actually more interested in the state of the Carrigstown washing machines now!! If there's no story or substance behind these broken machines and bags of washing I'm gonna be severely disappointed.

Well they can't exactly meet at the Ram's "house"

The Talking Bread

I am actually Team The Don on this one.

The character of Niamh is a self entitled hypocritical wagon. First of all has had at least 3 affairs herself with residents, most older than her, Walks out on her family for a warbling Christmas tree plug and then walks straight back in again when the fuse blew. Told him, not just to reject one son, but now the next (yeah, the son of Nicola, who was married to The Don, before she seduced The Don,



He has given her businesses, children, full unbridled acces to his two up, two down, urban mansion, drinks in the Local everynight.

I hope he finds out soon. And hires Dermishhhhhh for a 60-40 % plan.

I then hope Dermisssssshhhhhh swindles it all.

I then hope Dermishhhhhhh, using all his financial expertise gives it all to Eskimo to go all in on black down in Carrigstown Casino.

And I hope Eskimo just bumps into him on the street the next day and tells him he lost it all "thats gambling Dermishhhhh" .

And then with the money he "gambled" I hope Eskimo gets the washing machine fixed.

Wanderer2010

Has to be Ciaran but definitely not alone, Either Stella or someone connected to Cathal helping him. My money on Stella.

FC doesn't do subtlety:

1. Love Hate needs a drill....I wonder what for. Did Katy find a chink in the cell and now hes closing it off.

2. Love Hate is told by Eoghan "youre a strange one, you don't bat an eyelid when I tell you my marriage is over"....in other words when it comes out he is the kidnapper they will look back and bring this up as proof of his evil..so predicable and boring now come on ffs just reveal him and move on.

A TV Ad that paid better money and enabled a decent acting performance.

In fairness, this genuinely must be the first ever terminal illness story for a long term, generally harmless character that fails to ignite any sort of sadness, empathy or even bother with the viewers!!

It takes skill from writers to put zero emotion into such a plot! It's kind of comedic in a way! I mean, he is there te guts of 20 years probably now and its just like, oh, is he dying or not! Noone knows what the hell is going on! And it is only now they are developing pretend friendships with the likes of Caddle, Greasy and Niamh for plot devices!
"Robbie, I'm dying".
"Oh,,,,eh, eh, oh here, just take my money, f off somewhere, Cavan, Cork, whereever"
"Caddle, I'm dying,"
"You whaaaaa, don't be stupid, don't take your problems out on me, get another opinion off another doctor"
"Niamh, I am dying"
"Oh, right, I am actually just here to ask you (the worst financial affairs man in the country) to swindle all my husbands money"


As someone said, it is now developing into the worst scripted, nonsensical version of a Walter White/Heisenberg type plot!
He will evolve into this man within 2 months

dirkmeister

In 6 months time...

Caddle "Dermot,why did you do it?!?"

Dermot "I did it for me...I liked it...I was good at it...I was alive"

The Talking Bread

Could they not just get a little room in RTE and pretend they are in the solicitor's office.

Discussing a manslaughter case in a busy community centre........

Laura is carrying on as if she is katie Taylor training for the Olympics. She's even begining to look like her.

The Talking Bread

Stripey's affair is Rambled!

political analyst

Does it not occur to Dermot, given that he has terminal cancer, that, for the sake of Ben and Zoe, he has to tell Jo about his illness (no matter what she has done)? After all, she's still Ben's mum and Zoe's foster mum.

I don't think it has occurred to the writers to be fair to the character.

If eoghans going down anyway ..... he might as well kill Tommy while he's at it ( be hung for a ram as a lamb as they say )

KILKENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Right (actor that plays) Dermmmmmmmisssssssssh

Here's your script for the next two months

Just say as many of these words in every scene"

How's the young wan getting on in the plywood cell? Any more trips to the beach with fish and chips after? or a hike up the mountains with a flask of tae and a few sandwiches.

Stripey is a horrible b1tch.

No shes not! She's 'amazing'!

Eoghan and Dermot should form a support group: the rivals of Tommy Dillon

How old is Zoe supposed to be? I thought she was a teenager.

The Talking Bread

I hope The Ram moves on and finds his next ewe.

Wanderer2010

Ah poor Eoghan you have to feel sorry for him, never have I seen a man so down. Daughter missing, marriage over, son hates him, now he finds out about the affair. I was waiting for him to deck her in that last scene. She has to be the worst mother on the planet. Her daughter could be a pile of bones in a mountain somewhere and all she cares about is sleeping with that slut Tommy Dillon, truly horrible character..
