Perhaps Dolores just preferred her daughters and was always disappointed that she ever had a son.
I don't get the impression that Dolores is proud of Wayne and they don't seem to be close.

i have to say, one thing that really bothers me is the sets.

example:
1. there was a scene when tommy went out the door
(from inside the house the door is on the far left)
you can see judith watching out the window through the blinds.....
but he comes out on the right hand side of the house when the camera views the outside of the house!

2. christy's shop.
you can clearly see the entrance is a corner but when you go into the shop it's very long... as if you would have to knock out next door to be able to get it
the outside views do not match the inside ones...

I think he told her that the main manager jobs were filled, that he had part time positions available but she never took him up on the offer.

I'm still unsure about the Spar introduction but it is reflecting reality I suppose...

In the end of the day, it makes the show a bit more believable and now with the product placement rules being relaxed, it is wonderful advertising for Spar.

Also gives RTE more money... which hopefully they can reinvest into Fair City

Have to say I thought the camera work was very poor in the last few episodes, on Thursdays episode, it was very poor, it was making me feel sea sick with the camera shaking so much

I am liking Val but as for the Louie and Bob stuff, all over napkins... panto stuff

but I think the Spar shop towards the front looks okay but it appears to be long and doesn't really match up... still am enjoying the Spar

I often wonder at the impact of advertising like this though - would Christy's shop being a Spar, now make you go to a Spar when you wouldn't have previously?

I use the Spar near work - but only because it's convenient and doubt I would be running to another shop, just because it's in FC

I am not sure, I am guessing it puts their name out there, see what you could pick up from in the Spar.

Personally, I use Spar quite a bit when I am in town after work as it is handy and I prefer them to other convenience stores but I think having it in Fair City gives it more of a realism as these local shops tend to get bought up by a bigger retail outlet.

Who exactly are these big retail outlets buying up these local shops. You might give us a few examples if you don't mind too much, please?

How about Spar, Centra, Londis.. I know at least two near me that became spar's.

Anyway back to Fair City

**dirtyghettokid** · 10-12-2011, 23:13

i'm actually warming to val... didn't like her at first, but find her grand now! i suppose it's like that with alot of new characters

rogercar · 11-12-2011, 13:45

I'm not warming to Val at all - dont think I ever will. The new shop seems to only stock, apart from the deli counter, bottled water, chocolates,sweets etc. I havn't seen any sign of the basics eg. bread, milk, ie the staples. Also none of the businesses, homes, have any christmas decorations up yet. I could in, away understand why the shop wouldn't with the renovations. But seeing as last Thursday Dec 8th was officially the first day of Christmas, Carraigstown must be the only place in the country to have forgotton that Christmas is so close. I expect come Tuesday the place will be festooned with Fairy lights, tinsil etc. The residents and traders will be working furiousley over the weekend to get it all looking lovely and Christmassy. I'll be very surprised if they have it done by tonight!
