I was just thinking the exact same thing today:)

Anyone on here go to the pub 7 nights a week? Even 5 nights?

Actually we watch Fair City 4 evenings a week so i'd say that knocks the pub on the head for most of us:D

I only go the odd time and if I was a struggling employee I certainly wouldn't be there as often as the characters, then you have the Hungry Pig which is packed on 9am Sunday morning with people eating burgers and chips?? Really??

Maybe in Dublin burger shops open early Sunday but would that many people really be waiting to eat fast food so early? Then the music is torture it sounds like The Best of Reggae 1998.

I wonder do the producers give much thought to how much airtime the characters get from year to year. Even a cursory glance over 2015 and 2016 confirms the order of most airtime is given to:

1. Paul and Niamh storylines
2. Heather/Renee/Farrah
3. The O Briens
4. Carol
5. Dermot/Ben
6. Everything else (filler crap like Damien vs Pete)
7. Sean

That's what makes Paul and Niamh storylines so utterly tedious- although they get the most air time, you are actually watching the same storyline over and over and over again year after year. At least with Heather and the O Briens, they can keep your attention, I think a few more fresh faces are sorely needed.

Im so numb to how stupid the writing of The Plan is that I didn't even consider why Dermot didn't ask about the money?! There are way too many plotholes in this thing now to list but another one to re-mention is the fact that no matter what job any character has, or what shifts they are on, they have the time and money to drink in the local 7 days a week. Cant they even be a touch realistic and have someone having a bottle at home the odd time...

The first thing Dermot would have done is rung Robbie and asked him what happened to the bag containing the money. The whole thing has descended into farce of course, Dermot never even asked Jane about the money last night (strange, as fleeing abroad was ALL about the money).

I know and the thing is it wasn't even Dermo's fault he forgot it - he was bundled into the back of a van - Robbie gets back into the car and leaves the fecking money behind!!

Knowing FC don't be surprised if Greasy and Dermish never share a scene again. Greasy and Callum don't even recognise each other anymore.

I think the problem is there are about 500 different subplots going on with the Plan and half the cast are involved, to the point where the scriptwriters have lost control of the storyline, as it is so full of plot holes and contradictions.

Absolutely, very well said. They are completely out of their depth now. I mean, you don't expect high quality with FC but The Plan was obviously their way of attempting a big and bold storyline which would tie in 3 different stories and (their hope) provide drama and intrigue. Dermot getting liver cancer, Niamh getting revenge on Paul and Jane finding out and wanting a cut. But it seems they cant even get the tiniest bit of continuity or research done right so the whole thing is imploding. At this stage you could fill about 10 pages with mistakes and plotholes.

Its the small things that will hang you. Zoe went to the Galapagos for a 2 week break in early December with a sister she hadn't seen in yonks and whom she had to depend on for protection. She has missed school since then, no social worker has enquired after her, no Garda investigation has tracked her down, the hospital hasn't put out an alert after Dermot went AWOL. Dermot hasn't mentioned her once since she left. Absolutely p!ss poor and an atrocious overlook.
