Hughie has been shouting and roaring abuse in the pub for 10 minutes of last night's episode, starts to dance, with the same people present for it all.

Towards the very end of the pub antics shown Mairead goes 'he's wasted'. You don't say Mairead?! How very prescient of you. No wonder it took her 15 odd years of marriage to cop on to Will. And even with that scenario she still has no grasp on the reality of what's happening there.

And she was being so high and mighty about it all. Snatching up her bag, and then stood and watched for another couple of minutes. I used to like her character but the last while she is ridiculous.

I'd the writers changed or they are planning a story about somebody with different personalities!

Did I not hear Eoghan and Katie say that the camera in the chemist had an image of Ciaran picking up a prescription . ?

Then they say "ah they're closed now ".

Surely the guards would have a look at this as soon as possible considering someone is missing ??

Eoins mother is kidnapped and he goes for a pint with katie in the pub, bit of an odd thing to do I'd have thought.

Same when Junior was so sick and Orla in the pub and cafe sniffling and crying

Go home or go to your son !

Betty in the RTE canteen was looking for part time work for her niece and nephew while they were off school. Worked out grand in the end. few bob in the hand.

Rose being missing is laufable. The residents only seem to search the local businesses for her!
The most productive thing they did was set up a WhatsApp group.

Anyway the chemist could not show them the CCTV footage due to GDPR. The writers should know this basic information

Do the roughest pub tour of dublin with him, you’d need a good quality stab vest, the way Hughie throws insults around!

I wonder if the sportsman offered him some of his whiskey & Hughie refused, would the sportsman punch him in the face?

I'd imagine its unlikely Hughie would refuse a taste of the sportsman's whiskey.

The actors playing Will and Chris on Ireland AM at the moment and its a pure love-fest of back slapping. They talk about "powerful performances" and "dark roads ahead" not to mention how well-researched the script writers are! Despite the fact that they couldn't do research if their lives depended on it. Remember Niamh robbing all of Pauls accounts with one click of a laptop and none of his workers missed their wages? Or Ciaran managing to outwit all of the Guards in Ireland and kidnap an elderly woman without being spotted!

What am I missing? This domestic abuse story is pathetic, typical FC ticking a box of "current" issues and wrap it all up nicely for the Xmas storyline. There was zero build up. Chris went away for a few weeks and Will turned abusive overnight, and all this gushing about how good their acting is. I can only conclude that people these days are extremely easy to please and wouldn't recognise quality writing/acting if it bit them in the a%%.

If Mairead was this attentive when they were together she MIGHT have noticed he was gay......on the other hand him being gay seems to have improved their marriage.

Did she call him her best friend :eek:

Immortal Starlight

Mairead is the most stupid character Fair City has ever had. I am so sick of her excusing Wills behaviour. He has lied and cheated on her as long as shes known him but hes still ALWAYS completely innocent according to her. Pathetic doesnt begin to describe it.

JP Liz V1

I enjoyed the Rose and Ciaran scenes

freshpopcorn

I feel sorry for the local residents having Jack and Carol showing up on their door step trick or treating few days before Halloween!

glenfieldman

Holy crap, Rory Cowen is a dire actor.
And surly one of them dopes would have postered the Station at this stage

On the other hand Hughie is playing a blinder, I know many people like him, great actor

RobertKK

They just need Ciaran to kidnap more people...

Tessa didn't once miss her phone since Wednesday??

He is exactly like he was when he was in mrs brown boys.

I think the dopes already posted the station but Rorys poster said “still missing”

With McCoys closed the Stations going to be jammers tonight, Caddle is going to have to stop chain smoking and snarling at everyone.

Much worse, because on Browns boys, his character was very camp and slapstick which is just an on screen version of himself. But he cannot carry off a serious or straight character to save his life, his expressions are like a rabbit in headlights all the time

Immortal Starlight

If Rose Katy Tessa and Kieran all have phones surely the police could find where they are.

Anytime FC actors are being interviewed they're always gushing about how great they and their storylines are, they're never questioned about how inconsistent they are, nor the slagging they get online.

The very small media/celeb circle in this country will never slag or criticise one another because they will more than likely be working together on some format

I think the actress who played Lana did an interview and she said a lot of it was rubbish but she sort of retracted it then. However the writers did get rid of her.

threetrees

Was Jack going trick or treating 4 days before Halloween? What's that about? FC is on on Thursday anyway, no need to move the trick or treating day.

Geraldine Plunkett should be highly insulted having Rory Cowan as one of her co-actors.

Gwynplaine

I wont watch it again til that Mrs. Brown fella is gone. Anyone got any idea how long he'll be in it?

He needs to go. Even by Fair City standards he's shockingly bad. Embarrassingly bad.

Exactly, they have what we used call in science in secondary school, a symbiotic relationship, they live off one another.

All the soap stars, the Francis Brennans, Dermot Bannons, Anna Gearys, Pat Shortts etc etc who appear on the afternoon show with Maura and Daithi or with Tubridy and Darcy are creating interview time for one another, mutual promotion etc. It's a reasonably large clique, but a clique none they less. Paid for by our licence fee really. Some in the clique have some talent. Many like Rory Cowen, and Doireann Garrihy are really poor. It extends to newspapers and social media too, Vogue Williams, Niamh Horan, Stefanie Preissner etc. Who are really forced on us.

He’s awfully touchy about the most oddly specific things. I remember him going on and on about how bad pedestrianising Liffey Street would be, and I think there were some “boooo cyclists boooo” remarks in there too.

V odd.

Ciaran is going to

Stab Tessa!

Next week

Emmet gets attacked in jail and Ciaran is a suspect.

Does Carol have any staff in The Station (Darragh, Sean and Callum????) that she had to ask a stranger Bosco to wait for a delivery which was Robbie's ashes

And she had to get the local mechanic / qualified driving instructor to put up some party lights.
Was Tommy or Pete, the local tradesmen not about ?

I am enjoying FC at present. There are a number of interesting storylines with Ciaran and Will especially. But Rory Cowan is an annoying distraction. He is the exact same as he is in Mrs Brown's Boys and that ain't good.

All true. All the same people are everywhere. TV, papers, radio. FC could do without Rory Cowan but since he left Mrs Brown's Boys, the media had to give him something else to do. Every time I see him and hear his voice, it sends memories of awful Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas specials flooding back.
