    Wow, while she can dodge the question regarding the specifics of her illness and treatment, she certainly didn't seem prepared for the very basic question as to where in her body the alleged terminal cancer is.

    Calling storylines like this "the worst Fair City plot yet" is becoming a harder and harder statement to make with each one

    I still think Charlie manky feet is the absolute worst

    Is Jane going to rape paul ?

    Its time now to do an Emmerdale, and let ssome sort of disaster happen in Carrigstown. It should cull about 80% of the cast, leaving just a few likeable characters.
    Of course, a disaster would mean that the authorities would have to upgrade the hospital (bed)!

    The show needs the Bishops including Sash back and Pete's sons too and also introduce Pete's wife please


    Pete is a great character who needs to be used more

    Actually considering making an official complaint to the people in rte, that is not a topic to poorly research and make a mockery out of. Cancer is so prevalent in Ireland and lots of people are either dying or dealing with having the illness and, it's a disease that's cost parents their children, and torn families apart, and you have the likes of those fools that call themselves script writers, making a complete mockery of the illness

    Agree completely, I actually looked up complaints to rte today. But didnt know how to word it without going completely over the top. I feel really annoyed over this storyline, absolutely horrified and disgusted with it. What kind of heartless person would pretend to have cancer just to get money.

    To some extent you can make that argument for any storyline in a soap.
    The recent file was a complete mockery of anyone who lost anyone in a fire, the recent rape storyline was a complete mockery of anyone who suffered rape, the storyline from a few years ago of domestic abuse was a complete mockery of anyone who suffered domestic abuse etc etc......

    The real problem with the Jane cancer storyline is that it's so shoddy and unbelievable.

    morphine sulphate 60mg suspended release (not a medical term) wouldnt have that strong an effect on Pauldy


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭vektarman


    I would have grabbed that phone out of Janes hand.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I can't see the point of Jane putting on the fancy stockings the other night if all she was going to do was take a yukie "selfie" of herself and Paul....


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,723 ✭✭✭nice_very


    another bad photoshop job on the pill packet :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,654 ✭✭✭dirkmeister


    I had to turn it off there where she arrived out while her phone made a huge "bing" noise to start recording.

    This is absolute horse muck.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,192 ✭✭✭bottlebrush


    Niamh to orla about the cancer - They caught it early its curable.

    And she only has weeks to live? What kind of cancer is that pray tell.

    Ffs script writers!


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Hehehe....

    The minute your fella tells you "you mean the world to me" after a night missing in action........

    Pure genius script writing.

    There are boundaries in broadcasting and this is way out of line.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,192 ✭✭✭bottlebrush


    Eh did the penny not drop with Paul with Jane deciding she wanted to get pregnant....while undergoing treatment for cancer. ? Script writing again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,668 ✭✭✭nlgbbbblth

    True Story

    cancer is riddled on both sides on the family , get tested every six months

    The cancer story is just gone way too far. People should complain to the broadcasting authority because it is deeply inappropriate.

    I'm very sorry for your losses tajd.

    You are a wise person regarding your regular tests.

    This story has been badly handled and researched by the script writers imo. There has been no cohesion to the story (e.g. the pill taking tonight, etc).

    To run a story line that involves a person pretending to have a terminal illness, there has to be a compassionate attempt at a realistic story line and "believable" actors that builds up over a period of time - not a couple of weeks.

    This was a bungled attempt of a "spite/revenge" story that I considered bad taste.

    just watched tonights episode there.............. ****e episode too much of jane going on, they should either have her faking the cancer (controversal l know) or faking the pregnancy...the whole tj thing makes my cringe, christ almighty

    What a bitch. What would Paul's legal standing be with this? He was drugged.

    Must be the best storyline over the past year..
