Forensics left the pool of blood in the kitchen and nobody is watching over the house over the night. Well researched, Fair City!

Some genius one liners from Cathal "You know Kerri Ann? Blonde, lots of make up....murdered your daughter!" :D:D

Its 'criminal' if that's the last we hear of Spillane.

Criminal I love it!

Keogh to Robbie something to the effect, 'you want to rush someone abroad? Did you not hear about the referendum?!'.

Something going on with the jokes in recent episodes. Some good ones and then bizarre ones like Fr. Bertie telling the dancers to 'leave room for the Holy Spirit'. Actually like they were deliberately trying to make him 'uncool'.

Cathal Spillane has out-performed Oisin in the dark comedy stakes, hes an absolutely brilliant character and has presence in spades. Every time he walks into the room im on edge waiting for how hes going to change the vibe. And his battles with Carol are brilliant, FC needs him to stay the show is boring without him.

Defaulter1831

Sharlaat looked fairly shocked, naturally anyone would. Maybe they're going to make a kind of PTS storyline in that it brings back memories of her father's death.

Great pantomime villain head on him too, complete with funny facial expressions.

An easier ride for Snarler too.

Hope the pretty girl Decco was seeing, name escapes me, returns. Decco deserves a bit of happiness.

Defaulter1831

Keogh is a witty enough character too. Whether good acting or the new jokes department making him look good, i don't know.

Defaulter1831

Looks like Samantha will die in the accident to me.

It'll complete the destruction of the Decco/Kerri Anne relationship. Marriage gone, Kerri Anne gone and then the last link..Samantha. Of course i'm only guessing.

Hard to see anyone else going now that we've lost an 'established' character.

Always number 1

I had to rewind it last night to see if I imagined it when he said to Robbie "you're really chafing my hoop"

Thanks be to jaysis. I'm so happy she's gone

It was decent enough to be fair.
Shame they sold Cathal up the river after him leading to Robbie's rescue

I couldn't believe Robbie was talking calmly in his pub to the two who had just left him for dead in the freezer?!?

I used love Robbie before but I've gone off him Aoife came on the scene.

He thinks he knows the score, you rub my back and I'll rub yours......but he doesn't.

This new fella is an unpredicable lunatic and the thing about unpredictable lunatics is they're unpredictable.

Did Oisin put Karen on the baby passport?

Wasn't it Cathal who arranged all that.

Is Father Bertie the priest Dolores had the affair with?

fin12

cathals final scene was very good, goodbye Ireland, stay beautiful.

I think he definitely fancies Carol, like a love/hate relationship.

I say he will be back, the actor says he loves being in Fair city.

I'm not sure, Oisin said he'd to be paid for them, Charlotte I thought told him to get them when she collected the baby off him in Vinos

I thought that was a good line, one of those old cliches half the population must have heard at their school discos :P

The fact he wasn't in hospital either but just drinking a short under a blanket, stupid

Pretzill

Robbie's time below zero didn't stiffen out his back - is it just me or is he very hunched over since his trip away?

Glad to see the worst storyline in soap history ended with the over the top, hammy, Greek tragedyesque slaying of Kerri Ann in seconds and no-one could be arsed going to see if she was OK as they were busy avoiding the holy spirit on the dancefloor. Who dances at a christening?

Spillane's gone - no more shall we have to witness him appearing out of the blue in Spar, the Pig, the station etc with his wooden, caricature of a villain.

Jurgen Klopp

Either Cathal purposely had the forger name the baby passport Karen or it was simply an unfortunate name the forger used.

Oísin simply had to pay Cathal to receive them nothing more.

Yes it has been bad but tolerable when she was the ditzy airhead until she cheated and murdered

I thought she might go out on a high

Remember those old old "Carry On" films from the 1960s/70? Fair city is even funnier.
"Carry On Stabbing", maybe?
In tonight's dramatic, tension - filled episode (ha ha!), Aoife grabbed the knife off the table and stuck it, not once, but twice, between Kerri-Anne's skinny ribs.
For some odd reason, as Kerri-Ann lay, ahem, dying, Aoife felt the need to explain to her, "I was in the Army, Kerri-Ann, , so I know how to handle a bayonet"
I'd imagine Kerri-Ann felt much better about dying, knowing that at least she had been murdered at the hands of an Army professional. None o' that ould Aldi screwdriver bull-****e for for Aoife. She knows that if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right.
Get in there, no bullsh1t, a quick one-two, job done, and off to the pub...

And of course Sash got a chance to show all her amazing paramedic experience. Whilst standing five feet away, she used her incredible medical skills to announce, "OMG! She, she, she's dead!"
Sash has no need for all the ould palaver of taking the victim's pulse or checking for a heartbeat. That kinda stuff is OK for lesser mortals, but Sash just has to follow her super-human medical instincts. A woman's intuition is a wonder to behold.....


But if anything good is to come out of tonight's tragic episode, it's the certain knowledge that Kerri-Ann has gone now to that great beauty salon (with exclusive nail bar) in the sky.
And so therefore we all hope that Wanderer2010 will finally get a good night's sleep....

Absolutely shocking acting. The moment she died was hilarious. So bad..

The new crime boss, keogh is also woeful and not credible at all.

The bishops are about the only half decent thing left about fc .. and maybe oisin


What is the point of christy ah no? Awful character.

Bad things ahead for Rabbie with PJ Gallagher the new king scum in town...i'll miss Cathal, i loved his little jokes and digs ....

SAMTALK

When Robbie was in the pub telling Carol about Aoife being done for murder there was little or no reaction. You would imagine the 1st question would be "who did she kill".

Hope she's preggers, she'd lost a lot of weight since she appeared and looked fit..;)

No no. It wasn't Fr. Bertie. Can't post links. Long time lurker who has just joined and has only a few posts.

Fr. Thaddeus. He was on the soap around 2007 ish. Brief stint on the show. Dolores went bananas in the confessional with him and ran screaming down the church. Bananas thick i mean when he was ending the affair and she was confessing her sin with a priest to him.

Fr.Bertie has been a recurring character back to the 1990s at funerals, weddings, christenings, people dying of cancer (like Dolores when Pete objected to him, he didn't attend to Dermot), tragedies etc. He first came into the show to try and stop Fr. Malachy's affair with Kay McCoy and prevent him leaving the priesthood. That's back to the late 90's. I was wondering would he be still acting for this Christening.

Defaulter1831

As a follow on to my last post..

https://www.theslicedpan.com/culture/8-fair-city-characters-you-havent-thought-about-enough-recently/293286

'Not five years removed from the Bishop Eamonn Casey revelations, 1992, did Fair City - finger on the nation's pulse, as ever - go one step further, when Fr. Malachy Costello began a romantic connaissance with Kay McCoy. Not one to beat about the bush, Malachy married his sweetheart a year later, in 1999.'

I just remember the endless seems with Fr. Bertie trying to change Malachy's mind re. Kay, the scarlet woman.

I loved Aoife telling Robbie “At the Christening, I killed Kerri-Ann”. He reacted as if she’d told him she’d broken a glass.

Defaulter1831

Wonder will Mondo feel any guilt. Along with Kerri Anne he set the trail of destruction on it's way.

A year ago we had Decco trying to humour his, ditzy and somewhat neurotic wife. Decco is a real victim here and his character has really progressed.

Mondo and Ditzy had their affair. As a direct repercussion Decco and her relationship was on the rocks. In a jealous fit she kills Karen, which ultimately led to Aoife killing her. We will have a knock on final death tonight. I know i'm stating the bleedin obvious!!

If Mondo had a bit of cop he wouldn't have gotten involved with his ex, given her 'deficiencies'.

I just wonder will he hang his head in shame a little or continue on as normal?

freshpopcorn

I was thinking would Aoife feel any guilt if she stayed away and didn't have an affair with Robbie Karen might have also headed off with her.

I didn't mind Kerri Ann, its Carol I hate, with her boring cycle of snarling and banging the Billy Meehan drum that's insufferable. How hasn't she been killed yet, hanging around scum all these years. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

True.

Though for me that was a bit more circumstantial, like Charlotte keeping Kerri Anne from leaving.

Mondo and Kerri Anne were the main instigators i feel. However you have similarities in the Kerri Anne/Mondo affair and Robbie/Aoife being old flame stuff.

It's all the way you look at it i suppose, so many angles.

If storm Ali (not Lorcan's wife) had of been a bit stronger in Dublin and the Christening cancelled
