Sure they skipped Paddys day. Apart from Christmas and of course International Womens day they don't mark any occasion. Does anyone ever celebrate a birthday? Poor Menopausal Jane being the exception

Wouldn't you think they'd have shown how Debbie coped on Mothers day

They had some randomers wearing Paddy's day hats on Sunday morning and they were the cleanest, just-out-of-the-plastic-wrapper hats I've ever seen!

I have somebody over there on the case.

Just tuned in for the first time in ages. Why is the Don carrying a traffic warden hat? New job?!

Jurgen Klopp

Jesus that Kerri - Ann is so grating, she has to be the single biggest idiot on the planet

First time in ages that I've been in the house watching television and not put on fair city. Think the tumbleweeds in this thread says it all.

Is anyone here watching it?? I think the writers must be looking at my posts. Now everyone is saying straight out to Niamhs face "Why don't you just leave Paul?". Carol hit the nail on the head, its because she doesn't want to. She really is a stupid pitiful excuse for a woman, all these months plotting revenge now she wont leave him and using the Ruthie card makes no sense because what did she expect would happen there when she did leave him.

Oisin on fire tonight with Bella "Alone with your chess set eh? How long are your days!". :P:P

Watching Fair City on +1

Paul looks well in his uniform. Takes the bald head off of him:D

A really big problem i have with FC is that it is completely dominated by one actress/character, Clelia Murphy/Niamh Cassidy. Fair City have created a monster!

Seemingly Niamh's behaviour is the 'sophisticated' modern woman's way to handle an affair in the eyes of Fair City writers! The only problem is it is totally unrealistic.

Give Niamh a break for 6 mts and followed up by a few storylines like Bob and Cass get and it would work wonders for the show. I never remember one character being so central to a soap, and not in a good way, before.

And as for Nora.. Beyond ridiculous.. A pensioner cleaner like herself all gung ho ready to take on a drug lord.

Well the pensioners in Carrigstown must be a lot different to the ones i know.

We know the verbals for the siege already..

Spillane 'It was none of your business but you had to go sticking your nosey beak in..'

Nora 'I'm sorry don't kill me, please..'

I wonder if Clelia Murphy is one of the top paid actors on the show? If the average actor gets paid €459 per day and let's say they are only part time (Decco for example), then what must someone who is never off the bloody screen make?!

I remember years ago Rita and Bela were the top paid actors and no one could touch them.

You'd imagine herself and Tormey are. For air time as you say. I feel an awful overdose of her at the moment!

3 mts ago we debated whether the show was ever so poor for so long. Well we are all in agreement now i'd imagine. Desperate stuff at the moment..

For ages WE were saying how ridiculous it was that Paul didn't have his own office at the marketplace building. He was always using Niamh's desk for some reason. Now all of a sudden the downstairs area has a lovely new office.

The last few nights have been nothing short of painful. I actually like the storyline with Heather. It might not be accurate for brain injuries and/or mental illness but it's much better than someone continually stroking their own ****ing ego whilst at the same time taking down their husband (even as I type it sounds like such crap).

Bring back loopy Lucy and get rid of Niamh/Paul.

What school holds it's sports day in March? It's normally around the end of the school year isn't it?

The same school that hasn't noticed that two of their 6th class pupils are missing

Paul is starting a change jar for his share of a few tips yet his wife still has 2 successful businesses and he has 2 rental properties???

Does Cathal have the ram in his freezer?

Totally agree. At least with Heather you don't know what's going to happen next! She can explode at any moment, at times you think she might be playing up the injury and know more about Ciaran than she's letting on.

Christ this absolute tripe!

She could easily be written out of the show and nobody would notice in terms of a quality drop (LOL). Like, nobody would say 'let's bring Niamh back, she was an essential character'.

I actually have no problem with the likes of Bela and Charlie still being around for their ten weeks a year or whatever it is because every soap needs those type of characters because it reflects how people genuinely do live on streets for decades.

But someone like Niamh can only go so far, we don't need her to be so upfront in the storylines because they are becoming boring. I genuinely don't care about Paul and Niamh.

Jesus the writers and cast didn't even try on this episode. So Cathal's keeping Noraon yea? And....bingo Troy forgets his_wallet!

sligojoek

It's going downhill badly. The Nora/Cathal thing is beyond ridiculous.

maurv1

In what universe does an old woman, who should be enjoying life on her pension, take on a job as the sole cleaner in a large warehouse and five minutes later is playing Miss Marple trying to catch a crook?

I'll tell ya what Universe.....THE FAIR CITY universe !!!!

freshpopcorn

My biggest issue with Nora cleaning the warehouse is she's doing a terrible job!

Muahahaha

Great line by Cathal to Deegan tonight as he went to look in the freezer- "Youll get your big promotion if you find Katy OBrien in there"

Woeful episode otherwise though.

It's been scraping the barrel many months now. Really, Anthing recently and now is simply keeping with the flow.

Speaking of Deegan, where has he been for the KT investigation? The 'Whispering Detective' would have it sorted by now along with figuring out the 'Plan' labyrinth!
