Learned this from wikipedia so have not verified it's truth:
Kathy and Jay are listed as[past characters at the end of this year
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ros_na_R%C3%BAn_Characters

Katy is down as a present character as of right now anyway

I'd take no notice of it probably a fan who edits most of it

Sure Una is down as a present character along work Colin Jack

I said the same thing last night. We keep seeming Maggie out and about in different places and in her house but we never see Pól.

I'd say their as bad as RTE with Fair City bringing in lads on short-terms contracts that's why he was there disappeared and then will be brought back again

Shame you know I'd love to see him as a full time character as he's a good actor for soap standards

They often complain in the media that's it hard to get actors with good conversational Gaegile and yet when they get good ones they feckin use em part time and toss em about

At least Sally is gone thank God she was awful and I usually don't get too bothered over it

Pól, Una, Fias mother what's her name? All good actors and how many has Fair City poached most likely cause they needed steady gigs

What was Taighs son who locked him in the burning shed, Eoghan wasn't it? Him and his fiance the vet Eimear all good actors that should be full time

Eoghan - In Fair City now
Fias mother - In Fair City
Janice - was in fair city recently
Alanna - She was Suzanne in Fair City up until maybe 18 months ago

There's a good few others too. Apparently the lad Marcus Lamb who played Oakley in Fair City is an Irish speaker too, was his father Peader Lamb in Ros Na Run I heard that, he was Fargo Boyle from Fr. Ted too

Kauto0709 · 31-01-2018 7:42pm

Eoin was a brilliant character in it! A good match for Tadhg! Wish he would finish up with Fair City and come back.

Marcus Lambe played Caomhán de Faoite in Ros na Rún a few years ago, Bríds brother and AFAIR their father was played by Mick Lally RIP

Ah interesting thanks

Kauto0709 · 08-03-2018 10:05pm

Brilliant episode!

branie2 · 09-03-2018 10:08am

And Tadgh now knows the truth about Maggie!

Areas · 09-03-2018 10:10am

I wasn't impressed with the episode. With such a big story line I though it could have been handled a lot better. The back and forth between Máire/Áine and Tadgh/Sagart was strange. The music choice as well was so annoying. Have you ever been to a priests house where there's an angel choir singing and then strange Christmas like music in the background? It was a bit disappointing really.

Sephiroth_dude · 09-03-2018 12:48pm

Any where I can watch the first couple of seasons again?

gormdubhgorm · 10-03-2018 1:25pm

Just caught up.
Thought the last episode was a decent effort, could see what they were trying to do.
But, I agree with another poster it did seem a bit odd.
It was very out of place from thier normal format and style.

Plus, I can really see the resemblance between Maggie and Tadgh now

Tadgh has nearly everything done at this stage incest and murder.

maureencol · 10-03-2018 9:38pm

Thought it was a very good episode! I was shocked. But I think the women were too accepting of Maggie. Maggie still came back and broke up Frances' family. Not one of the women defended Francis who was totally innocent in all of this and stood by Tadgh through everything he did in the past and worked his pub and had his child.

monkey9 · 13-03-2018 9:35pm

Missed Thursday's episode. What's the craic with Tadgh and Maggie, i take it they're brother and sister?

julyjane · 14-03-2018 12:29am

The priest told Tadhg that Maggie's father (the schoolmaster) raped Tadhgs mother when she was walking home from a dance. She became pregnant and quickly married Tadhgs father, who'd had his eye on her already. Tadhg was born 6 months after the wedding.

It was a very thought provoking episode because it explained why Maggie's father didn't want her having anything to do with Tadhg and why Tadhgs father had been so cruel to him throughout his childhood, which is probably what made Tadhg the way he is.

Tadgh's stepfather, actually.

I never thought I would say these words but.......

Poor Tadhg

Might see a softer Tadgh from now on?

Frances might now have him back now and will be reveling in his misfortune?

gormdubhgorm · 22-03-2018 6:05pm

Something I never realised until the last episode which features Garda Úna Ní Riain (Yvonne Ní Laife) prominently
She is supposed to be Mo Gilmartin's (Marie Bheag Breathnach) mother! :eek:

I thought they were some sort of other relation.
Now, I don't know the ages of Marie Bheag Breathnach and Yvonne Ní Laife.
But to me, Yvonne Ní Laife who acts as Mo's mother could easily pass as younger then her own stage daughter, or at least sisters!

If I remember correctly (from years back!) Una had Mo as a teenager and had to put her up for adoption. I THINK Mo's father was Una's brother in law.

Oh right that would make sense to some extent at least.

julyjane · 24-03-2018 5:24pm

Jaysus they love keeping it in the family up in RnR!

I was racking my brains trying to remember who Mo's father was and couldn't. I do remember Una in it years ago (can't remember if it was the same actress or not) and she was seeing a seargeant who was played by Blackie Connors from Glenroe. Is this supposed to be the same character as the guy she just broke up with?

Nice to see a spark between Johnjoe and Imelda, an unlikely pair!

RhubarbCrumble · 24-03-2018 6:50pm

I just remember that Una was going out with John Joe when the whole thing came out about Mo being her daughter. However her and John Joe's relationship was kept under the radar due to her 'standing in the community'. I think she was more keen to keep it quiet than John Joe.

Glenman · 28-03-2018 10:02am

The Tadgh Maggie story line has been very well written and acted. A very sad ending to it. I suppose the secret that they were half brother and sister won't go an further now. I can't see Tadgh and Frances getting back together after this.

The bloke who plays Tadgh is a very good actor IMO

Yeah I like how he maintains his mannerisms in character.
Changes tone when he is lying and scratches his ear etc.

Amazed he never moved on to more main-stream stuff.
But I am delighted he is still in it.
He get's all the good lines for a reason.

branie2 · 25-04-2018 8:37pm

I think i saw Katy packing a bikini in last night's episode.

I missed it! I turned it off just when the credits started. I have to say I do miss those previews at the end. They used to always to them before.
