Please don't tell me people watch Fair City because they think it's good...it can't be for that reason...it can't...please...no!!!

You neednt worry, we dony watch it because its good either. I personally only watch it from abroad because I know its brilliant. A lot better than some of the rubblish churned out over here.

Well said, I hate all this "oh english stuff must be better" I think Fair City is brilliant and I love it

Whatever about the morality of Ray's actions recently, I am pretty shocked by the Social Welfare Department. It's great that they take fraud seriously, but isn't this just a little bit over the top?

Is it pretty easy to spot them in RTE? Can anyone just go into the canteen? I really miss Dean and Leo, Have i missed something? Have they gone to Spain with Troy or something?

Enjoyed last weeks fire episode, i have rewatched it a few times..

Yep, anyone can go in You can wander onto the set and watch the filming and whatnot too, I always drop by whenever I have a hospital appointment for some lunch, usually see plenty of them in the cantine.

FC is usually on set. 99.9 percent of the time, anyway.

Christmas Day: After a series of kitchen break-ins, Leo hears scrabbling noises at the bread-bin. Rushing downstairs with a baseball bat, he is astonished to find that Dominic has returned.

Are you sure anybody can wander in off the streets and have a coffee in the canteen. If this is true I'd better email Louie and warn him of Angel's coming for teas and biscuits......

Hahaha, yes, you most certainly can. The cantine is quite nice
The best thing I've ever seen / heard whilst there was Leo (well, the actor playing him) looking through the skips and telling the binman how he has a shed. I always passed by Cass (or once again, the actor) chasing after his dog and calling them - it must be his dog in RL too.

thank god bill is dead. he has been the singularly most annoying character in FC for ages. worse than caitriona and duncan combined

Epicurus

Dominic must have had some serious work done in london; he's looking a lot better for it :pac:

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Was anyone else really hoping that Barry would finish Bill off and then be brought to court... again... I presume this means Seamus is still alive?

Here's a plot I'd like to see happen in Fair City. Zumo continues to push his not inconsiderable weight around Carrigstown and has a brush with Charlie again. This time Charlie has a Charles Bronson reinvention and manages to lure Zumo to the lockup where he is overpowered and tied up. Charlie would then tell Zumo what he thinks of him and his type in a long and emotional tirade.
Given that we've already had a death by fire scene, there must be some other way of disposing of Zumo so the he's killed and Charlie gets away with it. Any ideas out there to finish this plot ?

Charlie and Zumo become lovers.

The security man is seriously on the doss! I work in RTE and we're not allowed on the fair city set! I know it's okay for people to come into the canteen to meet employees etc but I thought you had to have a reason to be on the premises, like taking part in a programme or on a school tour!

They only ever question people coming in in cars. Walking in on foot is never an issue.

About the end of last night's episode. Technically speaking, did Barry murder Bill? I know he was in a bad state already, but doesn't grabbing and shaking someone violently constitute an assault? If you assault someone and they die ten seconds later, that looks a lot like murder.

The last couple of shots of Barry seemed to confirm it - he looked pretty evil in the shadows, behind the bars of the window-blinds.

Maybe they're going to remake Porridge as a Fair City spin-off, with Barry as Fletcher and Brendan as Godber. All they need is Deegan as Mr Mackay, and we could have comedy gold.

Christmas decorations going up on the set today! YAY!
