I was sitting on the luas on my way home and there was me sitting proudly with my Fair City bag on my lap, doing a puzzle with my fair city pen and I looked up and saw a lady looking at my Fair City bag and I thought where do I recognise her from... it finally hit me as we both got up from the seats.. it was Renee from Fair City.. mortified...:D 0 -

Is there any character in soap who is as grumpy as Niamh? She always looks pissed off. I think Esther is an older version of Niamh..:(
Now I have images in my head of Charlie getting passionate with Niamh
I'm enjoying the banter between the Dermot and the others in the office though.0 -

Its stupid...
I actually find it boring to watch Louie & Christy together, there is no magic, no sparkle and certainly no fun to be had.. I think with Louie & Carol, there is chemistry and a genuine feeling between the two..
I am all for it... 0 -

As Sarah fights to save her man from Una's clutches, could there be another maneater waiting to snatch him up? The RTÉ Guide's Suzanne Byrne chats to Fair City's Keith, Sarah, Una and Orla to find out who'll be kissing who.
1 of 1
Well, well, well, it seems Keith is the gift that a lot of the ladies of Carrigstown are hoping for this Christmas. There's current girlfriend Sarah, who Keith's been with for several months now. They recently signed a joint mortgage on her house, but a rather glum holiday in Venice has put a damper on their passion. Next up is old flame Una, who has returned from Africa to reclaim her man, but after 20 months apart, does Keith have any feelings left for the bubbly blonde hairdresser? And then there's Orla - some might say she is a bit of maneater - but would she really betray her friend Sarah again after stealing Sarah's last boyfriend only a year ago?
Alan O'Neill, who plays the handsome mechanic, reckons it's Keith's need to be mammied that has all the ladies falling at his feet.
Do you think Keith is truly in love with Sarah?
He has made a commitment to her by going halves on her mortgage - so he probably does think that he loves her. Granted, he was kind of pushed into it by Orla and Finn, who repeatedly told him that it was a good opportunity.
How does he feel about Una being back in Carrigstown?
Well he was delighted to see her back as a friend. When she left it was all over as far as he was concerned, but then she started to come on to him and remind him of the good times. Keith started to remember what it was like, when life was much easier and he didn't have the commitment of a mortgage and now he wonders if he made a mistake.
What was Keith and Sarah holiday in Venice really like?
Well it consisted of Sarah marching him around the streets of Venice looking at statues and canals, which is not his thing at all. The problem is he gave her the choice of the holiday and he thought she would pick somewhere like Lanzarote or somewhere like that. He wanted a holiday like the one he had with Una in Portugal.
Is Una a consideration for him or does he just want to be friends?
He does consider getting back with Una because he is very confused with their history and he turns to Orla for some advice.
What is it that Keith likes about Orla?
Well he probably sees a bit of himself in her. He likes that she is feisty. That is what he is always looking for - someone to look out for him and watch him. I think that is why woman are attracted him, they all want to play mammy. They usually end up doing that and then he bails on them in the last minute.
Has he ever thought about Orla romantically?
Never - he did turn her down once. Orla tried it on when he was fixing something in Niamh's and the only reason he didn't was because Una had caught him out on something and he was trying to be a good boy.
Do you think they would work as a couple?
I think so. She really has been there for him this past year. I think there is chemistry there between them . . . but who knows?
Do you think Keith wants to settle down, get married and have a family?
I wouldn't say he thinks about that at all. It's work, pints, bed and football at the weekend. He wants to live his life as simply as possible and all this pressure from women is just getting on top of him.
Gemma Doorly, who plays Keith's current girlfriend, reveals that Sarah feels severely under threat now that Una has returned to Carrigstown
Why does Sarah think that Keith is the one for her?
I think Sarah and Keith are a good couple because Sarah is quite grounded, she is quite together, she owns a house and she has a very good work ethic. I think when they first met that was a contrast to Keith, who was a bit of a flake. She has kind of put manners on him, so whoever he ends up with, Sarah has done a lot of groundwork!
What would you say in particular that she was attracted in Keith?
I think it was that poor Sarah had no luck with men before Keith and he treated her like a princess until now and she was really impressed by that. He really was her knight in shining armour last Christmas when Orla ran off with Ian. I think it was a real case of opposites attract.
Before they went on holidays, everything seemed to be OK between them - what happened?
I would say Sarah has been showing signs of being very insecure because Una is back and the first time she met her she was in a banana suit, which was probably the worst way possible to meet her boyfriend's ex-fiancée! Then they went on holidays to Venice and it really wasn't Keith's idea of a holiday - but that's all she thinks is wrong with him.
What does she think of Una?
She is horrified that she even has to compete with her because of the history she has with Keith. I think for the first time ever, Sarah is really threatened.
How does Sarah feel when Una makes it blatant that she out to win Keith back?
I think Sarah is very afraid that she is going to lose him. But in true Sarah style, she would rather die than show that. She is putting on a brave face and pretending that she is fine but she really isn't.
Does it ever cross her mind that Keith and Orla might be getting a bit too close?
No! It is the last thing on her mind, which is kind of naïve after what Orla did last year. Personally, I wouldn't trust Orla as far as I can throw her!
If they were to break up or if she was to ever find that he was cheating on her, how would that make Sarah feel?
I think she would be devastated, although she might move in on Finn, you never know!
Christmas is a coming and as Sandra Curran explains, Una is determined to have her man back in time for Santa' arrival.
Why is Una so sure that Keith is the one for her?
She is convinced they belong together, she feels they have been through so much and they have come out the other side. She spent 20 months away from him and in that time she did meet other guys, but no one who made her feel as Keith did. So she has come back to get her man.
What is about Keith that makes him the man for Una?
Una and Keith are a match. Una is so easygoing she doesn't expect to be wined or dined and she doesn't expect gifts, and I think that is the kind of woman that Keith needs. They are like a lot of couples; all over each other one minute and then killing each other the next.
What does Una think about Keith being with Sarah?
She is shocked that they are together because she feels of all the people in Carrigstown, Sarah is not right for Keith. Keith is very down to earth - he's a mechanic, while Sarah's so career minded. Una thinks he needs someone on his level.
How far is Una willing to go to get her man?
As far as it takes! She does not care - she is back on a mission, she spent a long time away from him, and now she wants him back. She is going to stay and fight for him.
If Keith doesn't choose Una at the end of the day, how upset would she be?
I think she will be devastated. I think she has grown up a lot in Africa. She really is convinced it is going to work out between them. She believes wholeheartedly he will leave Sarah - it's like, 'right he had a bit of fun and we'll get over that now that we are getting back together'.
Keith and Orla have become really good friends, admits Sorcha Furlong, but could there be more to it?
Has it ever crossed Orla's mind that she might fancy Keith?
No. About four years ago, she made a pass at him because she was lonely but now they are extremely good friends. Orla is looking for love but she has been so busy putting Sarah and Keith together and now trying to keep Una away, that she hasn't had a chance to find a man of her own.
Is Keith her type?
Orla has had different men all through the years and I think the way she is feeling now is that companionship and a friend is what she is looking for. Obviously, she wants romance and to fancy the person and all that kind of stuff. She wants what Niamh and Paul have . . . wait and see!
What is it about Keith that makes him such a good friend?
He is very loyal to Sarah, he is very honest and good craic. When Orla and Keith spend time together, they have a laugh. They are like mirror images of each other.
What does Orla think of Una?
Orla feels Una has come back to stir trouble. She thinks Sarah is a lovely girl and doesn't really deserve the trouble Una is bringing.
What is Orla's friendship like with Sarah?
Oral and Sarah had a great friendship up until last year when Orla slept with Ian. But Sarah managed to forgive Orla and now they live together. Sarah is very highly strung which Orla finds very humorous.
Would Orla and Keith make a good couple?
I think there wouldn't be a dull moment. If they got together and everything was rosy in the garden, it would be the most amazing relationship ever and I'd say if things ever got bad, they would kill each other.

Wow, had a great laugh at Fair City the last week, let nobody say RTE cannot do a good comedy. A few points:
Yvonne, stop dressing like Harry Potter, with the big black cape and those espionage black gloves she has on her 24/7. Who wears black gloves indoors all the time
Keith and Orla? Came out of nowhere and was just a way to give both of them a storyline. Orla literally does nothing but drink wine in Mccoys all day, despite allegedly having a great job. And Keith suddenly falling for her just smacks of a rushed script, no credibility at all.
Speaking of which, Dermot and his wife (the one with the fake posh voice) are not funny. Repeat- NOT. FUNNY. Getting a plane stuck to your hand, is that supposed to be the comic relief? Jesus wept...
But what is funny is the consistent bad acting and paper thin sets, its one of the best unintentional comedies out there, anyone know if FC is planning to tackle another deep and relevant issue, like the domestic abuse? They made such a mess of that, its bound to be even funnier.0 -

Has someone dared to slag Carol off... let me at them :mad::eek: I love Carol, she is one of my favourite characters, there is never enough Carol scenes for me, the strongest female character in the show.. as for Louie, well I think you know my feelings on him... I love their partnership, their chemistry, the way they look at each other... I melt watching them!
I have wanted Louie & Carol to hook up for a VERY long time and I am loving every single second.. I would rather watch them together then Christy fawning all over Carol, he ages her and Louie makes her young again
I am loving this storyline and it is about time they got together 0 -

I am loving Orla but think they rushed pairing them up.. She did quite a bit of work for Louie recently... you seem to have forgotten this..Wanderer2010 wrote: »Speaking of which, Dermot and his wife (the one with the fake posh voice) are not funny.

Her name is Jo and I enjoyed it, it was light relief and fun to watch and they are a very funny partnership, one of the best in the showWanderer2010 wrote: »But what is funny is the consistent bad acting and paper thin sets, its one of the best unintentional comedies out there, anyone know if FC is planning to tackle another deep and relevant issue, like the domestic abuse?

Now I know you are trolling.. they handled the domestic abuse storyline wonderfully and judging by the ratings, people obviously agree with me and if it highlights such an important storyline and people benefit from calling the helplines, they are doing a good job.
Glad you find it amusing, we aim to please 0
