I thought Caoimhe was a tad harsh about Jane.
She has being fairly decent to her siblings.

Why could Caoimhe not stay in The Pod or rent Hayley's flat?

From what I remember about her she could never make up her mind.

The three bedrooms must be full.

Speaking of the Pod - I wonder who's running it since Jackie fled.

It looked like just one, tonights episode?

After all why would he leave so soon?

Yes, just one episode I'd say!

From reading all the articles about rory joining they all gave the impression he was going to be there for ages

I see Caoimhe is as rude as ever......

Hayley is not Sharon's daughter, she is Sharon Curley's

:eek:

Some fella named Andy says Barry beat him and Robbie, would Robbie be not around similar age as Barry

That had me a little baffled also but I suppose

Barry may be older!

There's a thing in the RTE Guide about the top 30 moments selected by viewers.(I take it's in no particular order).
1. Damien abused by Suzannne.(2010)
2. Katy Kidnapped by Ciaran. (2016)
3. Helen leaves mike to run off with Paul. (1997)
4. Dolores' daughter, Jessica, swallows a tablet and dies. (2005)
5. Kerri-Ann is stabbed to death by Aoife.
6. Charlotte kills Paddy Bishop. (2013)
7. Carol and Robbie gets married. (2016)
8. Billy Meehan is clubbed to death by Lorcan. (2001)
9. Helen dies in a car accident. (1998)
10. Robbin admits she has bulimia. (2005)
11. Niamh gets revenge on Paul by inviting his ex lovers to Christmas dinner. (2016)
12. Jimmy Doyle and Lorraine Molloy get married. (2000)
13. Heather shares an incestuous kiss with Floyd. (2008)
14. Gina is killed on the way to her wedding. (2007)
15. Mondo and Kira's teen pregnancy and the birth of Juliet. (2003)
16. Orla's affair with Tommy. (2013)
17. The death of Rita Doyle. (2013)
18. Bob becomes homeless. (2010).
19. Flyod's death. (2008)
20. The scene where the photo of Lucy and Harry Molly is found. (2012)
21. Kay and Malachy begin their relationship. (1998)
22. Harry Kills Ross in a graveyard. (2005)
23. Martie murders his wife Tess. (2008)
24. Barry's affair with Niamh. (1996)
25. The reveal of Karen's killer. (2018)
26. Jackie's and Hughie's disastrous marriage. (2019)
27. Yvonne is raped by an online predator, Martin. (2013)
28. Trigger beats up his daughter on her wedding day. (2016)
29. Orla and Wayne's surrogacy woes. (2019)
30. Paddy Bishops return. (2013).


Some of the years are wrong in my opinion. Marty killed Tess in about 2003 and Heather and Flyod kissed in about 2003 as well I'd say.
There's also a few things they could have put together and things they left off.

Some good stories there tough!

threetrees

Great memories there, yes Marty killed Tess much earlier, I'd have said 2002, that was the big storyline when I started watching FC.

NewbridgeIR

Marty killing Tess was definitely 2003.

flower girl 101

I loved the lucy story. Its definitely one of my favourites

washiskin

You get the impression the 2019 stories were rammed into that list to make the current output not look crap compared to the older stuff.

Was Lucy having an affair with Harry, what was her story again

I thought Harry's affair with Shelley was pretty shocking at the time, Harry a cheat

The reveal of Karen's killer and aftermath was stupid as was the end to Niamh's "plan"

NewbridgeIR

Other highlights
Barry killing Sarah and the subsequent involvement with Denzo was good.
Bela's early affairs (Linda, Cliona)
Ashti the ludicrous Kurdish refugee
Dodgy Doctor Jack Shanahan
Racist Pete, Morgan and the ODENZES

Yes, that was a great storyline and they took their time with it. A seeming lovely and charming girl who turns out to have a dark side and to be mentally unstable.

LordBasil

Another Bela moment was him winning £500 on a scratchcard near Christmas 1996 when he hadn't a penny left to buy his kids presents.

Bela was quite an interesting character years ago but now is a boring old moan. I wonder why he has stayed on the show considering Jim Bartley's health problems and the fact that all of Bela's kids have moved abroad.

Doblin

I think it's ridiculous that they are going to Re-con Barry o'hannlon into a child abuser

freshpopcorn

In the Guide there showing a few old covers including the one where Ross and Sorcha were sleeping together. I was in the early years of secondary school at the time and from what I remember everybody was talking about it.

MsWesterosi

I thought Caoimhe was supposed to be studying medicine? Wasn't that one of the reasons she and Damian broke up? Now there isn't a mention of it. Also, her clothes look really dowdy; they've completely changed her style.

But, I have to say the FC crew did an excellent, innovative job when casting Saoirse - first time in the history of TV that an invisible person has played a role! :P

It was voted by the viewers. So the story that won overall was the damien abuse story which is fair enough.

Mentioned every 2 mins and not a sign of her.
Save Dee Forbes a few quid on salaries.

Shakyfan

Who told Rennee that she had a look of Grace Kelly? Stevie Wonder??

jos28

Nice to see some of the old crew back. Debbie is looking well, Rose is playing a blinder. Hard to watch for anyone that has a loved one in a similar situation.
Can't wait for someone to wipe that smug smile off Fiona's mush.

threetrees

Yes Geraldine Plunkett is such an excellent actor, FC are lucky to have her. She is brilliant at playing Rose, really hits a nerve for anyone with experience of dementia.

She was going out with Wayne, then started claiming that she had a cornea transplant and the donor had been Wayne's baby sister that died, then there was the claim she had an affair with harry molloy.
Like someone said it was a slow burner and wasnt the usual predictable storyline

johndaman66

Shocked that the gay kiss between Eoghan and Liam in 1996 is not in that top 30 moments list. Its often noted as a breakthrough point in Irish television down through the years. As a nation we were not quiet ready for it at the time and it caused a bit of controversy at the time as I recall.

I think the top thirty moments were really thrown together at the last minute!

There were a lot better affairs over the years than that.

The Frank and Dolores affair used to have a novelty factor. They used to be getting up to no good when Harry was practically in the next room. As I recall Bull Island used to do a sketch on it.

Harry and Shelly was famous enough to.
When Jo had mice in her attic and Tommy called over.
Niamh and Michael's affair.
Also when Donal had one with Philipa when Nicola had breast cancer.

Definitely Marty killed Tess around 2002 or 2003. It was one of the stories to follow up the Billy Meehan ones. Heather and Floyd would have kissed originally around 2003 too but met up with him again in 2008 before Floyd's death.

Jo and Tommy’s trip to the Ploughing Championships – where else? They were the only two culchies in the show like.

I have a fondness for the Tommy and the cameras storyline, and the siege.

Yes, from what I remember she was seen as a real joke and wasn't taken overly seriously. I even think some of the residents called her it.
