Jasus Dan is not a bad auld singer. They should be playing at The Station. Have the women throwing their knickers at them.

They really havent a clue what to do with his cbaracter! This pondering around the streets and parks with damien and dean making childish jokes which are just forced and cringeworthy! Then all that business with Laura and her love life. Three lads in their mid thirtys/late thirties prying on the relationships of a girl, two of whom barely know her outside a bit of training! Id tell them to f off and mind theur own business!

Dan had great potential when he arrived, had this mysterious, even sociopathic aura about him . Then he just turned into a lovestruck eegit when he got a sniff of Yvonbe and then Caddle.

Now he is just essentially Stephen the Barman with a few lines and friends!!

Yeah I liked him when he first came into it. He had real presence on screen. I like how he disarmed that fella with the baseball bat in his home.

Id say the actor hates the direction his character has gone. But hes not going to quit by the looks of it as its an easy pay cheque. How character like him survive over Christy or even Jo is beyond me.

He was far from getting involved in selfies and gossiping on street corners back then!!

Excuse me???? I have said given out about the fact that there was countless love triabgles. Iregardless of sexual orientation. Indeed that was the only love triangle with them in it. I simply said that plot was the most ridiculous one i have ever seens. Up there with dan/carol/robbie circa the time he was hospitalised.

Stop being so faux outraged or else report mh post if you consider it homopho ic which you have essentially insinuated. (In my opinion) from now on ill write all the names participating in said triangle, regardless of tgeir orientation. Id prefer in future if you didnt highlight such a serious thing on the thread . PM me if you like and ill state my case or report me. I was just highlighting which love triangle plot it was in short form. Everyone knew automatically whom i was referring to. And it was an awful repetitive plot. Thats why i pointed it out. Just like i did with that other "hetrosexual" plot with Robbie /Dan/Caddle.

I dont want a row with you on a forum. I just want to put this insinuation to bed. And im sorry that this reply sounds very strong/over the top but if there is one thing i dont like its being abelled any form of homophobic, which perhaps you didnt mean.

I like your posts Walshb but i have to stick up for myself here.

Thanks.

Honest, I didn't intend to offend you with my post. I just happened to quote you as you post here the most and mention the 'issue' the most. I am not outraged or all that offended. I also don't need to report any posts. We're all FC buddies here. The use of the word lesbian ever time a gay female character is involved in a romance was something that caught my eye, and I felt it a little odd and inappropriate. But I far from outraged or offended. You are one of the best posters here. No doubt. Let's get back to what we do best her, ripping the Pi€s

Speaking of Leo, where is he? He hasn't been seen since 2015.

Laura to move in with Dean, get with Sash and have a baby with Dean

Wasn't there a whole storyline with Laura, Louise and Ciara when they were in secondary school and a Walkman/CD bring stolen or broken. Would have being in the early 2000's. Anybody remember this?
Also the highlight of mark breaking his hand/wrist when he climbed up a chair to get a bottle of Coke.

Keira (Niamh's sister?) hasn't been in it for years but looking at Louise & Laura now, you'd swear they had never even met.

That's the one. It was years ago.

'Dean' doing a lot of voice work on Irish stations these days.

Fair play to him. No 'white' hair necessary.

I'm bored with Fair City these days .

There's no storyline . I don't count Stripey and the Ram as a story as it will just go on and on and on and on and on . Then one week something will happen and that's it . Over.
Like the Munchausen by Proxy story with Heather and Ellie . Could have been brilliant but came to an abrupt halt .
You have that ginger fella with the hoodie (whats his name?) robbing and selling everything in sight .....it's farcical. Dean, Dan and Decco acting like stupid teenagers, sitting in the park gossiping and giving advice to their lesbian sister/friend.
.....and a bloody "installation" and presentation in the making about the women of 1916 .....with the old fogeys sitting squashed together on the couch discussing it week after week ! I actually fast forwarded through any scenes with them in it (thank you Sky+). The centenary celebrations are over and done with nearly a month ago !!!!

Said it before , will say it again .....how anyone gets paid to write this rubbish is beyond me :-( :-(

Its The Ram more wooly than ever before

Dan showing more personality and liveliness in 2 and a half minutes than he has shown in 3 years

And The return of Callum

Introducing......................The CarRockstowns


Tommy's really good on the guitar! And you're right, Dan looks like he's enjoying himself. Love to see them more like than on FC.

So today is the 100 year anniversary of the Rising...does this mean the MDF installation will be revealed tonight and we can move on from this 'storyline' from tomorrow??

well datewise the anniversary is this weekend so maybe they were co-inciding with that since they knew no one would be watching during the centenary celebrations

Basically, you missed nothing. Just the wash, rinse, and repeat stuff that FC is noted for.
