Has Karl Shiels got a bad back?

Yeah he doesn't quite have the posture to stand up to guys the way he used to.

Luckily (unluckily) I haven't been effected like Hughie's story on Fair City.

I haven't been preyed upon by a brain damaged lady in her 40s who got into bed with me after a few schoops.

Tbh I was actually thinking this story has gone beyond alcoholism and into consent territory myself!! What the hell were the writers thinking, this is gonna have an outraged rabble on "Honestly, Joe".

Poor hughie everyone ganging up on him despite the fact Jackie left him because she couldn't love him.

Kinda scared to see where his drinking takes him though. He obviously is a recovering alcoholic for a reason. Possibly see him being violent or coming onto Heather, and then everyone thinking it was like that all along!!!

The little comments from him in tonights episode like 'i dont wanna be alone' 'were great together'

Hmm

Robbies turning into an awful thug, pathetic attacking Ray like that.

Thursday 11th July

Hughie is racked with guilt over his behaviour with Heather. Nora has to be brave to face up to her past. Dean steps up when Tessa struggles with a dilemma.

Sunday 14th July

An emergency at Hot Pots gives Tessa pause for thought, Hughie resorts to drastic measures to help himself and Heather, while a misunderstanding causes chaos for the Collins family.

Tuesday 16th July

An unexpected visitor leaves Bob, Renee and Hughie on edge, Carol and Robbie are outraged by Paul's accusation, and Lee is fed up as overcrowding at the Collins becomes intolerable.

Wednesday 17th July

Heather is gutted by what is revealed in a heated argument between Brendan and Hughie. Fiona's attempt to smooth things over with Robbie and Carol backfires.

Thursday 18th July

Dean goes on the warpath when Hot Pots gets a lousy review. Tempers fray as Heather remains missing. Carol does a good turn for Paul only for it to blow up in her face.

I'm not being flippant about alcoholism. But when it's interwoven into a storyline like that i don't think alcohol is the first thing you you think of. Then the serious 'if you've been effected' message and all you can think of is Heather and her big bunny head and other big bits beginning with B:D

Months of preparation for this festival and you just know how pitiful it is gonna turn out!

Was that journalist who met Nora in it before as Hayley's friend who Damien had a few dates with and scared off by being too full on?

Yep, thanks for that, I couldn't remember where I had seen her before.

Credit where it's due, he plays a very good drunkard.

JP Liz V1 · 11-07-2019 11:14pm

I thought Tessa was into all eco friendly save the planet business, does she work besides volunteering in the Helping Hand?

freshpopcorn · 11-07-2019 11:25pm

Can we do a do fund me page for the Collins house?

so many times in soaps I cringe when actors play drunk , they are so bad at it .. yes he is very good and believable

Niall_76 · 12-07-2019 6:24am

Love the Collins boys coming up with ideas to save money while eating breakfast out.

You’d think they’d have the table in the house if it was of such sentimental value... could put the clapped out stereo on it if there’s nowhere else for it.

Good tyres on the rothar from the shed though given its age.

Well, more so than usual.

He is very good at it alright, even when he started drinking he acted it like just getting merry, so well. He's as good at acting the drunk as Robbie's Ma is at portraying her laundry story. There are some strong performances when the script is right - but it is rare.

Andy From Sligo · 12-07-2019 8:52pm

ah yes that scene with robbies mum - she delivered that ever so good, I even think I might of had a little spec of dirt in my eye at one point ...

lulu1 · 12-07-2019 11:03pm

Did anyone notice that horrible ill fitting jumper the interviewer had on

threetrees · 12-07-2019 11:23pm

Is Tessa volunteering in the Helping Hand? When Laura worked there it was a salaried job! I think the Collins Muppets will buy stuff from the HH and sell on eBay. They are sure the get a house deposit that way!

I wonder what part Charlie would have had in this festival planning, it's right up his street. Maybe the festival will mark his departure somehow, in line with the actors passing.

Norah was great, I was feeling so emotional watching her.

She was in the show before btw and quite recently. Pretty sure she went on a date or two with Damien.

If I remember correctly, Damien kept talking about his ex and his daughter, which really annoyed her and she broke off the brief relationship.

Was watching The Field last night and noticed Tom Jordan was one of the lads in the pub.

branie2 · 14-07-2019 9:53pm

Was she a journalist or doing a thesis? How did she know about Nora and Robbie and the laundry etc.,?
