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 know... but at least it is preserved forever on the 1996 episode of 'Reeling in the Years, guaranteed to be broadcast at least once every year for eternity on RTE!!

Is it Barry on fair city's teaser trailer on who back for more? Lots of people saying it's Barry now more so than ciaran but would doug and melanie know who Barry is? They're on the trailer looking shocked to see the person back.

Well of it's Barry who's going to call him Slappy O'Hanlon now? Not many Bishops left to do that.

Yes, even Orla's affair with Tommy featured on it.

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

Tommy's affair with Jo or Debbie

Was Tommy's one night with Orla even an affair as were both single at the time or is Tommy ever single :P

threetrees

And what about Dolores's affair with Fr "The Bill" Thaddeus? Surely that was more controversial than some of the lame affairs above.

Thanks for confirming that.
I didn't think it was much of an affair.
I have no idea how they conducted the poll.
It was like they just took comments off Facebook.

The best memorable villains I remember are Billy, Paddy, Trigger, Dr. Oakley and Terence, any female villains?

I loved Dr Oakley.

Would you consider Lucy a villian? or maybe Suzanne with her abusing Damien.

Lucy of course and Charlotte killed her father and covered it up.

I don't really see them as truly devilish villains if that makes sense, Charlotte killed Paddy (he was a bad fella) to save her mother, Lucy was unhinged as is Heather but Lucy probably the closet female villain maybe with Fiona and Vivienne

I have really fallen for Fiona. I find her kind of attractive for some reason.

What did Vivenne do that was bad?

He looks like a younger fella which is why I think Ciaran as now Katy is back too

I kind of thought by the way Caoimhe was looking at Damien yesterday that she might want to get back with him.

Hadn't watched FC for a few weeks, watching it tonight and you know who Will reminded me of both in looks and with the manipulation - Graham Dwyer!!

Eoin has great taste in music. Guns N’ Roses are brilliant.

Damien would want his head tested if he ever went back there again.

Did Caoimhe cheat on Damo with Dean, surprised she did not ask to stay with him

Let's make a top 10 list of the stupidest things the writers have done in fair city, I'll start with Eoghan getting a manslaughter conviction for killing Michael

But not women :P (Debbie again :rolleyes:) always thought Eoghan and Jane would get together

I'm not surprised it takes Caoimhe, Damian, Phoebe, Dearbhla and God knows who else to mind Saoirse. The poor child is invisible, sure it would take that many to mind an invisible child!

I believe it’s Alasdair! Or that’s what yer one Debbie pointed out (I think, I was half watching)

What’s going on with Will anyway .....What’s his problem with Damian ?
Will decided he was gay, had an affair, left Mairead and Phoebe to move to Dublin . Is he suddenly not gay now ? How does Christiano feel about this ? I mean this was all Will’s doing so what’s his problem?

(so many bloody questions)

I have heard that Barry is coming back and most reports are fairly certain. There is a rumor they are doing a pervy storyline with him. One of the earliest FC memories I have was when he was dating his student, none other than Niamh.

But Doug and Melanie? We can rule out Melanie as ever having known Barry at least within the backstories (of course it could be revealed she and her son had bad dealings with Barry from before and it is assumed Melanie did grow up in Ireland and not Iran or Armenia). Doug I am less sure. Barry could have been his teacher. Do not really remember if Doug and Barry were actually in it at the same time or not and of any shared storyline if they were. But assuming it is not Barry who frightens Melanie and Doug, who could it be? Ciaran was not particularly involved with Doug either and not with Melanie.

Cathal Spillane was involved with Melanie via the hotel for a time but I don't think he was overly concerned with her. Fiona seems to be her biggest enemy and it isn't her. What about that cult and that evil doctor? Doug was part of that story but Melanie I don't think was (may be wrong).

That whole storyline with Dermot becoming a fraudster after getting cancer was 100% a ripoff of Breaking Bad only with fraud replacing cooking meth.

Tommy and Dearbhla showing signs of invisibility too. Pretty poor timing that they couldn't line up the actors' onscreen time so that they would be around for Caoimhe's return.

Ciaran actor admits now Ciaran is returning to FC.

Agree totally, he's unfortunately been pigeon holed and will always be associated with Mrs Browns Boys - I have never watched more than one or two episodes of it, cant stand it! Now when I see him in Fair City its like watching a panto queen , you expect Mrs Brown to pop in the door. Its not working.

Just thinking, is Ciaran the reason Tessa fled Carrigstown recently? She received a mystery phone call and took off five seconds later. Perhaps she has been secretly in contact with him all along?

I'm a tad lost with Ciaran.
Maybe she got a call to say he was released from hospital,etc.
Do the O'Brien's think he dead?

Yes, everyone thinks he's dead (drowned when he fell into the sea). I'm guessing there is more to Tessa than meets the eye and she might even have known he was still alive when she moved to Carrigstown - it was strange the way she moved into the area and Ciaran's flat.

Rose will see Ciaran and not know who he is

Is he back for Katy again, I assume he will be killed off this time around

I think Katy has a soft spot for him, they might go to America together?
