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

Story is fascinating …. but some of it is indeed poorly done …. but cost cutting prevails over accuracies in soapland …. but still and all it is a good and potentially great storyline ….

Of course the actor could be playing a totally new character …. or a recast version of some long forgotten character …. FC has a habit of reviving very old stories that date back years …. a common trick in soaps is to leave some stories unresolved …. e.g. Ciaran: is he dead or alive is never revealed …. or what happened Lana Leo's Russian wife …. I remember a mention of someone who killed her but it was not developed and forget who it was …. some minor role gangland figure of the Billy Meehan time IIRC ….

As it stands the 'hooded man' actor played Liam Loftus and Tyler before …. Loftus is highly unlikely …. and Tyler has no real motive has he when it comes to Zoe or Laura …. if Tyler is working obo Lucy she'd more likely target Dolores and Pete …. If Tyler is somehow working for McCabe then Laura makes sense then moving on to target other members of the Halpin family and Mairead family ….. McCabe has no incentive whatsoever to target Zoe ….

I'm surprised Fergal was not a suspect …. but he seems not to be involved at all so far in this storyline …. but he could yet if the story goes down the random stalker/killer road …. and of course he would have nothing to do with it ….

The idea of the random killer …. Tyler or a new character …. makes sense esp if Zoe is being targeted …. we know v little about Tyler …. while connected to Lucy he has issues himself and has a separate background to Lucy …. I don't think Lucy would even have Zoe on her radar …. or Laura … so do not really think Lucy is credible …. Tyler himself we don't know and they can re-invent and broaden that character as some sort of a perv …. I do not remember him much and if any background was given about him …. he seemed to be unhinged …. capable of evil? Def ….

They name the Hooded Man actor in the credits 😭.

Basically this.

Thankfully, Paul is in his usual good form cracking some quality one liners.

This murder storyline is one of the poorest yet. Damien hos shown how limited his acting skills are.

Just no cohesion to Fair City anymore.

Yep. Not a word about Cardils kidnapping and the investigation.

I actually can't recall if it has always been shite or just got gradually more shite.

In fairness, there are some decent characters in Ray, Paul, Cass and even some of the newer ones like Rafferty can act. But the script writers really let the show down.

I going to be disappointed if now Pete is in hosp he gets clean and no longer has a drug problem, I was really hoping for him to turn all dope sick

The "Codeine And You" leaflet given to Pete 😂.

Whats with Zoe and the pink hi Viz?

Is it so she feels very important?

I am not saying the story is perfect …. it is far from that …. but it is interesting …. I am not expecting writing on the level of Stephen King or Margaret Atwood or Charles Dickens or William Shakespeare or whoever here …. but it passes a half an hour 3 nights a week ….. and I would gladly watch Fair City any day over Big Brudder, Luv Island, Britain's Got Talent, and so on …. plus I will expect soaps not to be very realistic as I know they work with rotas of a limited # of characters at a time ….

Coz us men go wild for right said Fred 😀seriously who writes this

My favourite lines last night was haley explaining why her mother hates her fella: "because you tried to kidnap her to take my money "

Fair enough o

I agree with you on Damien over-acting …. I do not think he is much of a character …. he is a 50 something year old builder and they are trying to make him look interesting …. it was a bit creepy teaming him up with Caoimhe and he like 20 years older than her give or take …. Orla is another … a forty something year old who dated nearly everyone in it and is more fodder for stories than actual story …. poor characters and not the best actors …. others in it should be used more …. Fergal and so on ……

Damien getting acting tips

"Listen, just look like you are constipated in every scene you do, it'll look deadly"

I'm still getting over the scene with him and Mairead dressed up…….oh jesus, the memories

Is it part of her delivery job, uniform, and what does she deliver at night?

I thought Ray & Mondo too? Could be wrong though

I tell ye, i'm half considering turning up for an audition free of charge for d craic.

FFS If Juliet can get a job on set, there is hope for even the worst actor who's ever graced the earth
