I think Lorna Quinn has actually proved herself to be an excellent actress! The character development might not have been great but I think in recent weeks she's be brilliant.

Did you see the interview with her and Martina Stanley on the Saturday Night Show? It's on RTE Player anyway. She looked great!

Re: the cast being bad actors - a few years ago I saw Christy, Paul, Mondo and Cleo in a play in Cork Opera House. I think it was called Caught in the Net, can't remember. The play was set in England and they all had spot on accents. It was a comedy and Paul and Christy were brilliant. Which just proves that Fair City's problem is the writing/short rehearsal/turnaround time, and not always the actors ability!

They are/were all decent actors in FC anyway

Angel01 was a regular contributor to the FC thread until she had a disagreement with some of the posts/posters and closed his/her boards account.

She wouldn't have tolerated any criticism of the Lucy storyline.

She has been back here with at least 15 different usernames though. She usually posts just once and then closes her account.

Just what i was thinking

max life · 24-10-2012 7:42pm

I must be the only person here who doesnt rate the actress who plays Lucy. I know I havent watched FC in about 6 weeks but she was not great before then. Her performances never stood out, unless she has been brilliant in the last few weeks???

JP Liz V1 · 24-10-2012 7:46pm

Do Dolores and Wayne now believe Pete that he didnt attack Lucy if so dont you think they should let all of Carrigstown know he is innocent

#Clear Pete Ferguson's Name

Graciefacey · 24-10-2012 8:00pm

I don't know about everyone else but what i'm really looking forward to in the next weeks is pete morphing into clint eastwood when he's mad! The snarly voice and talking out the side of his mouth, all he needs is a cigar and a monacle

pl4ichjgy17zwd · 24-10-2012 8:27pm

Lucy/Wayne scene one of the cringiest and creepiest in a while...and that's saying something.

Not sure. I don't remember any of them.

deelite · 24-10-2012 8:44pm

Loved the scenes with Decco / Dermot tonight.

Although I nearly wet myself with Val's reference to 50 Shades "Tied to a chair with Duct tape over my mouth" brilliant.

Me too! Wayne is a numpty no doubt about it. We were in stitches here when Deco was questioning Dermish about his date. "Is she old or something?. Well, what's wrong with her?"

Demonique · 24-10-2012 9:32pm

Someone on boards sneered at me a few years ago because I said I'd rather be in Stargate than in Fair City (so there's something wrong with wanting to be something with better pay running around pretending to shoot aliens?)

Somehow I doubt you'll ever find Robert Carlyle in Fair City...

Loved the scene tonight with Decco winding up Dair-mu in the office

They should really develop this and let Dermish see that Decco really wants to start a new life. Imagine Dermish doing Decco's books for him and giving him business advice. I would love to see Decco making a success of Chariots. They would have to get Eddie out of the way first. Mind you Val will take care of that when she finds out that her beloved son was in Mountjoy and not in the Seychelles. If the FC writers are lurking, don't forget about the Zumo 'coming out' storyline !

Wayne is such a guhgaw! The panic on lucy's face when he said he was going to find the baby. She'll steal a baby chimp from dublin zoo and claim it as her longlost child harriet, and wayne will fall for it no doubt

good idea!

halloween is having an affect on fc.:D

It hasn't been brought up yet. Laura brought it up weeks back saying that "she attacked herself."

peewee_44 · 25-10-2012 11:04am

I have to say since it all came out I am enjoying the story a lot more was so sick and tired of the same thing every episode, Lucy lieing and the believeing her

I'm really looking forward to next weeks episodes.

hilda781 · 25-10-2012 5:45pm

I have three questions.

1. Has Lucy got any relations of her own?
2. Why does Wayne not realise he is sleeping with his half-sister's mother?
3. Does anyone think this story makes people with mental ill health look like simply nutjobs?

Do agree, though Lucy seems to be quite on the far end of sociopathy the way she's acted and manipulated people for so long as oppose to just delusions by themselves. I remember FC doing a good story of schizophrenia a few year's back with Cleo's fella, can't remember his name.

hilda781 · 25-10-2012 6:12pm

It was a good story. Pierce was his name. I think Lucy's problem is not really fair to people who are mentally unwell.

Who was Pierce? I can't remember him.

starlit · 25-10-2012 6:38pm

Is that his name with cleo? can't remember no that was robert or was that pearse? robert had aspergers.

Wayne still loves lucy but hopefully it dawn on him that it doesn't make sense for him to be with his half sister's mother but then again all depends on if the child she says she had with harry exists. Knowing her she thrives on fantasy and making up stories to suit her so hard to know really if she telling the truth. She seems to be honest how she feels about wayne but she still could be playing him she lies so well.

nlgbbbblth · 25-10-2012 7:01pm

Pierce was with Cleo before Robert. He had some issues.

IRISHSPORTSGUY · 25-10-2012 8:09pm

That scene with Dermot, Deco and Val in the office just there was hilarious. Deco is a brilliant character.

deelite · 25-10-2012 8:10pm

Is it wrong to fancy Decco?

pl4ichjgy17zwd · 25-10-2012 8:13pm

Why are you believing her Wayne?! How often does someone have to cry wolf...

Wayne needs help.

endakenny · 25-10-2012 8:20pm

I don't think it's ethical for a teacher to be going out with a parent of a former pupil when that pupil is still attending the school at which the teacher works. Can you imagine the abuse that Ben would get from other pupils if they knew that his former teacher and his father were together?

Rasheed · 25-10-2012 8:21pm

Is Lucy mentally unwell though? I just thought she was an utter cnut........

el diablo · 25-10-2012 8:24pm

That Wayne chap. What a mong. :rolleyes:

a0ifee · 25-10-2012 8:27pm

why does Wayne believe everything that comes out of Lucy's mouth? :S

I'm starting to believe that Lucy is not actually a psychiatric case. She is a compulsive liar.

hilda781 · 25-10-2012 8:33pm

I think is it is weird that Decco hasn't copped on to Eddie yet?

hilda781 · 25-10-2012 8:35pm

Why is Emily so afraid of Lucy? It doesn't make any sense when it is obvious that Lucy has huge problems.
No-one would believe Lucy (well, apart from Wayne).

vektarman · 25-10-2012 8:38pm

So Lucy is making allegations against Emily, well this changes everything..:rolleyes:

I was thinking the same thing, I thought Decco was fairly streetwise...

hilda781 · 25-10-2012 8:45pm

plus decco has been in prison and met Eddie there (of all places)

An affair with Harry, Wayne's half-sister given up for adoption, Lucy in a psychiatric ward. Claims Emily abused her the one and only time she stayed in her house. How long does the list have to get before Wayne gets a dose of common sense? This is just a farce.
