I actually thought it was the best bit of acting I've seen in fair city in years. No overacting ... The wife is a pretty decent actress and in turn doesn't make him look all that bad.

I'd have to agree - definitely made for better watching than Paul and Jane, Renee and Sharon etc having the exact same scene they've been having for weeks just in a slightly different location.

They’ve even brought Brexit into Fair city. Jeeze I can’t get away from it.

Also Goo eyes looks like Manix Flynn.

Yep, round of applause for Mairéad, very credible performance. She could give lessons to Snarler, Orla, Renee etc

Have to agree - it was quite a compelling performance from both actors. It was very natural.
Not the normal rushed, over acting we're used to.

It was really, really good. Like something straight out of a theatre play, I think that was a 12 minute continuous take or something.

Proper acting.....well done to the two of them and the writers.

Will really likes the wide open eyes staring in space or passed the person he’s talking too.

I was worried at one stage his eyes were so wide that an eyeball might pop out or we would see the first ever dislocated eye socket.

I read this also and had the same conclusion.
It appears if somebody misses an episode or a few weeks that certain news papers make them out to be gone for ages.
Then they'll do an article with a few Tweets saying fans are delighted.
I don't think the journalists watch it.

Journalists? You mean people who quote tweets, then embed said tweets .

So, Will is still working?

How else would we know a character has entered??

The whole thing of the door goes like:

2 characters have a chat about a third character.
<squeeeeak>
Third character appears, just like that!

Or...a conversation is coming to a natural end between Decco and Charlotte. <squeeeeak>
Mondo appears, gives Decco an awkward look and goes to bar on his own.

Repeat as above.

Wills wife is some desperate b*tch, he has been cheating on her since day one yet she takes all her aggression and sh*t out on poor Christiano and let’s her scumbag husband off with everything, I think Christiano has been hurt enough, he did nothing wrong in all this , was just another victim of Wills selfishness.

Good point. Christiano is the victim here and he needs to put his own self respect first and walk away from this scumbag who wants his cake and to eat it. He wants to keep his family and his bit on the side can drop everything when it suits him. Walk away Chris!

She seems to worry about what the neighbours in Cashel will say. I'd say the neighbours in Cashel put two and two together a long time ago.

What exactly is Will's job title.....mobile nurse ? He's on some money to keep two households going.

Do I dare ask where the heck yer man Keogh has gone, back to full time crisp making?

Hi all, brand new to Boards. I have lurked on this thread for years now (since Blackie Connors was in it I'm embarrassed to say) and finally decided to join ye all. I've been a fan of Fair City for years and years and it's fair to say I've enjoyed this thread 100 times more than the show itself - but sure that wouldn't be hard with some/all of the dire story lines and acting. So instead of screaming at the telly at the antics in Carrigstown from now on, I'm looking forward to rowing in with the gang here, if ye'll have me. Not v tech minded so hope I can get the hang of posting, quoting etc.

Blackie Connors was the name given by the FC boardsies to Tommy Dillon's 'brother'. The actor had played the part of Blackie in Glenroe! He also had the ould affair with the bould Judith, iirc.



Hatshepsut,welcome to the mad house. Happy posting!

Welcome, Hatshep! Over the last few months, we've lost a lot of contributors, so it's nice to have the oppurnity to say hello to a new one. Even though some posters have stopped posting, I suspect they're still reading this thread, and that's good. Like it says in the song "Hotel California" you can check out, but you can never leave!
