Fair City [News, Spoilers and Discussion v10] Read Post #1 Before Contributing

So now Hayley has a "plan".

The scenes with Fergal and his Ma are good, they are both good actors in fairness, but its a bit unrealistic that an adult would be living with his Mother like that when tension is so high. NO mention of him having worked as a Fitness Instructor; would he not look for that type of work rather than warehouse labouring.

Dearbhla parachuting back in and working in Vino's is odd, wonder where Gar is supposed to be in all of this. NO doubt Joan will be back on screen soon and the Melanie 10k storyline will re-appear....

I agree the mum is a dose and she is part of the reason why Fergal behaves way he does. She does appear to have some compassion though as we seen last night where she offered to make him dinner and was happy that he had made an effort and left the house. I kind of get her frustration - a 30 something year old son living at home, has no friends, has no partner and makes no effort to get a job. Hes a 30 year old behaving like a 13 year old. I think deep down she does love him but is so worried about him and annoyed by the way he behaves. Sadly it probably is a good reflection of many homes.

Yeah I thought the reaction was over the top aswell but I guess it suited the situation that he was too distracted to notice the phone ringing. Its out of character for Dean - for example he didnt react like that when he found out Sean had slept with Anna the day they broke up. Anyway idiot Dean completely missed that when he dialled Vicky Fergals phone rang 🤣

Things are improving:) are they also misleading us with the previews ? Cool if they are at least it shows they're thinking outside the box

I think Dean sort of reacted the way he did because he thought he was the man that ran Fergal out of town but he found out he failed.

Yeah I thought that was ridiculous that Dean told 'Vicki' about sleeping with Dearbhla, I haven't been in the dating game in a very long time admittedly but if you are interested romantically in someone that surely would be a turn off to hear about recent conquests for said person.

I know that - but she is also frustrated by her grown up son not even trying to make a life for himself.

I thought he snapped cause he realised he’d been talking to Fergal all the time and was angry and embarrassed. But then he was talking to vangirl again a few mins later.

Since they’ve shown it is Fergal, quite a few calls have ended with Fergal just saying something like “later” and hanging up when the conversation wasn’t really finished.

Dean also seems to answer vangirl’s calls with “howaya” or something similar. It’s like he’s answering a call from a friend and doesn’t fit with him being smitten.

Anyone else think Dean completely over reacted when he saw Fergal, who the hell does he think he is, you cant carry on like that in public or you'll get done for assault. I wonder if Juliet recording the incident will be significant in the future.

The show seems to be saying that people who've concerns about immigration are scumbag losers who live at home with their abusive mammy. In truth what Fergal did wasnt that bad until he attempted to burn down the gym and that was primarily because he lost his job and some people would say that was unfair. I'd like for them to delve a little deeper into why Fergal is the way he is but I doubt it.

They have had Dean over reacting with Fergal before that, even before he tried to burn down Gym, in fact it could be said it was Dean's carry on that led to the escalation of the gym. He then told Fergal to stop feeling sorry for himself for not being able to find accommodation, I pointed out at the time how outrageous that was to say that in these difficult times for people trying to buy or rent a house, but this is RTE which I have no doubt is a mouthpiece for the government. Dean equals good, Fergal equals bad in this pantomime.

Dean's character hasn't really much got much going for him. I think there afraid to make him in anyway controversial.

Some people do end up living in cars/vans for a period but their rarely in Dean's finical position. When Melanie was in the position a few years ago it was believable.

Some people have converted vans to a very high standard but Dean's efforts are brutal.

I did lol at Steo to Juliet saying doing duck face into your phone
