    Yes I wondering where Bob got the money for Charlotte but he gave Suzanne the cheque :confused:

    I wonder will Suzanne hammer Nessa also

    Remember he got paid off by the Dillons, I think it was 5,000 Euro so he could easily pay off what he took from Charlotte with that.

    Oh she will tell her in no uncertain terms to stay away but Damien will be the one to truly suffer :(

    That final scene was difficult to watch, even though I knew it was coming - very well done.
    Great episode overall - Bob stepping onto the bus was great. Very poetic. Hope he won't be gone for long...

    Seems Robert proposes to Cleo... RTE guide also interviewing Jim Bartley (Bela Doyle) might be worth a read...

    dr dillon & zumo share the same birthday? and 21 for zumo? he looks about 27!

    I felt sorry for Zumo last night. Judith was having a nice family dinner in an expensive restaurant with presents everywhere whereas Zumo was alone in McCoys on his 21st. Not even his mother could be bothered to see him for the day; instead giving Barry a card for Zumo. Eileen didn't get a mention either

    Bob though; what an exit. Nice moment with Charlie as well remembering Mags.

    Given that Mark is still at home, it must be only a matter of time before he learns about what Suzanne is doing to his brother. Is this gonna drag on till Christmas?

    It would have to be a long story line - I mean an abusive partner doesn't stop overnight?

    What Suzanne has done his much worse. The difference between adultery and hitting someone with a snooker cue is that adultery is not a crime.

    suzanne reacted the way i THINK i would react in my head to a situation like that - for soap, it's for the viewers - but if that was real life, she should have just walked out & that is all.

    i mean, if i caught my husband with another woman, i'd want to bate the pair of them... but i'd probably just walk away!

    It saddens me that my recorder cut out just as Bob handed Zumo the money at the bus stop which means that I also missed the repeat...

    Bit harsh from Bob about Louies children. They hate each other, yes, but Bob has lost a son; he watched as his partner lost her son.

    Dolores is being wasted sitting around with Esther and Charlie drinking tea. She's too young and good looking to be wasting away like that. Put her back in with Wayne or develop an unhealthy obsession with Tommy Dillon. Do something.

    Epicurus, I usually agree with you but I think Bob was on the money to lash out at Louie like he did. In fairness to Bob, he's been on the receiving end of stings from Louie for weeks and I think what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

    I'm all for another of Dolores's unhealthy obsessions. She does them so well, :D the confession scene. "Bless me father for I have sinned father, *pure contempt in her tone* I've had an affair father, with a father, father" :D

    When Fair City began, the show was based around characters in four households: The O'Hanlons, The Kellys, The Clarkes and The Corcorans

    I can't believe Leo hadn't got the bottle to stand up for Bob - he let his weasel son talk him out of it - by the way why hasn't Dean told anybody Nessa is the reason Tracy left Carrigstown. And I think Carol was there for that scene - how come she hasn't remembered Nessa's face....

    Ah Leo is sound and I do kind of get where Dean is coming from. *Long story, sorry* A couple of weeks ago my dog came home with a rabbit, dead of course yuck yuck. I managed to separate them and threw the bunny into the newly emptied wheelie bin. 3 days later my dad went out with a bag of rubbish, cue a Slither moment when the bin errupted in a mass of maggots. I had to empty the bin and wash it out. Vom* As Dean and Louie both had to get in and clear it up, I can see why Dean, who did try to help Bob sell his greens to Louie, withdrew support.

    Was Neasa's Ritchie's Moll?

    No, That girl was some prostitute. The thug who Tracy knew set it up so that she would flirt with Dean at the hotel and gave Dean some sob story that she was being harassed by some guy and asked if Dean would escort her to her room to give this other fictional guy the hint to leave her alone.
    Dean obliged while Tracy and Carol watched (unknown to Dean) and they both jumped to the wrong conclusion.
    I don't know if Carol eventually realised that she was wrong or not though.

    Anyway that girl wasn't Neasa.

    Thanks for that, I couldn't remember

    As a mum of three I would never lay a finger on my other half if he cheated on me. I would gracefully leave the house and let him and her raise the children that would be their honeymoon period over....:D

    LMAO deelite :D
    I was pretty shocked at the escalating violence for the last few weeks from the plate of food, the incident with the seafood and the mirror scene to Sunday night's scene. Neasa was only an excuse to lay into Damian imo. And to think he unwittingly tried to console her after she was rebuffed by Louie. The disgust in Suzanne's face when she recoiled from him outside Vino's. I think Suzanne has emotionally moved on from Damian but I can't work out why she won't leave him. Sarah Flood has done an epic job playing a sleeping monster but God, Suzanne is loathsome. As horrid as Dominic was, I think the audience always felt some empathy with him, losing his business and his daughter and then lashing out at Tracey. At the end of the day, although initially rejecting the idea of counselling he did want to change who he was becoming even if Tracey couldn't trust him anymore.

    I hope it's the end of Suzanne and Damian. I think they probably stayed together too long, maybe out of habit more so than any undying passion. Suzanne is way too high maintainence in every respect and seems to long to be in a different sphere, both professionally and romantically. She seems to be reaching for the stuff she was denied the first time round. Although Damian seems to think he should be punished for Neasa, getting attacked with a pool cue is too far. He said it all really when he told Neasa "You don't know what it's like waking up every morning beside her" To have that level of hopelessness that early in the day :(. Despite Suzanne reaching out to better herself, Damian has the most going for him. He has a close circle of friends especially his relationships with Wayne and Dean that Suzanne just can't compete with. At the end of the day in her darkest hour, the miscarriage, she was utterly alone in the house without family or friends.

    I also find it slightly ironic that she's gravitated towards Louie, who himself lashed out physically at his family. I wonder how he'll respond when the sh!t hits the fan.

    Sorry for the long post :)

    Great point. That hadn't even occurred to me. I could see it cropping up a few years down the line, if she is with Louie (not impossible) and the new kids resent their step-mother.

    The television centre, one of the oldest buildings on the Montrose site, will not be demolished, under the plans. However, the Radio Centre, library and the multi-storey car park will be knocked down, along with the Fair City set.

    This is about the long-term RTE development plans. I presume they mean the Fair City set will be knocked down and replaced with something bigger and more suitable for High Definition broadcast.

    The German ambassador will have a hernia.
