Ros na Run

I was wondering are they just going to write Máire off slowly?

Surely the writers would have to give her some sort of dramatic finale?

Breathing in a load of Asbestos when she comes back to the BnB???

Wasn't much of a hit Berni got with that football. It was the only let down in the last episode, but it was so poorly done. They are never great at recreating accidents/falls in general in RnR.

I have just caught up with the recent RnR's have to laugh at the character Sonny from America. I have an old Uncle his siblings call Sonny who is in America.

Anyway quality of the RnR's has been well done. They seem to have new writers now? Maybe I am wrong - but it seems fresh - new pair of eyes etc. Nothing like a tussle over land in rural Ireland. I hope they find good angles for this Sonny v Tadgh one. The impression I get is the writers seem to have already framed Sonny and Tadgh as having an unspoken respect for each other.

Charle got emotional at the best of times. I am sure Colm not showing up. Knowing she sent Mo the text sent her over the edge.

Plus this means there will be questions as to why Charlie did what she did. Bringing Gardai attention on Catriona, Tadgh, Colm - reigniting the Frances investigation etc eventually.

But for the moment poor Ronan will be the patsy. The poor fecker has only learnt to write. And the first time he signs his name will be in a Garda station.

I just caught up. To be honest I am kind of glad Charlie's character is gone they seemed to have run out of things to do with her. Other than annoy Colm and get Annette to act as a skivvy for her. They did get rid of her very quick, obviously had it planned with the headaches etc. I was sure they were going to milk her death for ages like the Katy v Dee storyline. I am glad they didn't.

I predict that Mo will make an appearance back shortly to play happy families and adopt Harry. But obviously a certain issue will have to be sorted out first.

It was great to see 'Kibosh' make an appearance again in the writing! I laugh every time I hear it now.

I think the show is ticking along nicely now, nothing really silly in it.

I think the Briain character is acted superbly the audience are supposed to dislike him. Like a more subtle ‘Andy’. Always on the edge of snapping.

Credit where it is due for Colm Mac Gearailt.

I did laugh at the scene with the towel on the head. My first reaction was nice to see a bit of realism not many towel covered heads in soaps. Then it was revealed why. I thought it was very clever writing- simple effective.

As for the Rory - Briain alliance. I thought about it’s start. Rory was ostracised or recently shunned by the community. Because of his ‘open relationship’ Emma - Michelle. Plus he was humiliated by being tied up in the community centre and left in his boxers.

So I think the angle was Rory feels empathy for Briain because the community turned on him once as well. Plus Rory sees it as only right that Briain’s child is recognised. If Rory’s suspicions are proven correct etc.

Funny you say that. Because I watch the old 90’s episodes on YouTube in parallel. I can compare and contrast. 90’s/00’s RnR they were the soap equivalent of being at it like rabbits.

Only in the last RnR retro episode I learnt the Irish word for condom is coiscín! 🤨

Special credit has to go to the former head of Radio Pobail RnR. Sean Brennan was the characters name. Some stamina!

He was with every eligible on screen female from the radio station. Plus not only that even managed to go out with the doctor. And an ex nun. There was even a lovebite in the ex nun/Sean storyline.

Shelia former employee of Radio Pobal RnR is not particularly chosey. About her ‘piosa sproai’. A phrase which was once used a lot in RnR. And not forgetting Liam whose romantic life and escapades are were the major storyline drivers. Oh and there was even one occasion where the character Carmel O’Doherty seduced Liam.

Same woman tried the same with Tadgh just on the promise/hope of a job at the bar! So yeah. You are correct it used to be all go in RnR!

Tony's mother was bothering me since i saw the preview earlier as she looked so familiar, its just hit me am i wrong? is it the same actress who played Jack's mother in the old ros na run on youtube?

Bríd Sinclair or something???

It's a pity she's a different character, would have been a big village shocker if she was still Bríd sinclair and Tony was Jacks younger brother :D Berni would have been in shock but would have been nice if she greeted her with a "long time no see bríd" and it would be lovely to see her back in her (jacks) cafe :)

Vera would have made a better guard than Tony. I do find it odd though. Have shouted at the telly - 'Tá fhios agaibh go léir is í Brid Sinclair!'
