I don't know why or for what reason but I always thought the garage was down there? (But my compass could be off kilterWhat is the idea of the road between the Shop and the Community Centre. It might have been shown before but last night it was clear to see that all there is was a bricked up wall a few feet down it. Was it more poor camera work/directing again by those involved.
) One thing I did think about was, could someone not have cleared the snow? I could hardly hear what they were saying on the street with all the crunching going on behind them!

I was of the same view re the garage. If that is suppose to be where it is you would think they would have a gap in a way to leave us think it was in such a spot, or not show down the ally way at all. You would not see Corri show what is suppose to be behind the Bridge between the Rovers and the Health Centre. Also agree with the snow.0 -

WTF!! I wouldn't care how much denial Yvonne was in, it would be a cold day in hell! and only over my dead body that I'd let the woman my husband slept with and had a baby with through my front door! never mind sit and drink with her! :mad: I really find that story hard to swallowJust a few weeks ago, Niamh felt really sorry for Yvonne who was still in denial about being Ruth's mum. She tried to make Yvonne feel comfortable about being part of the extended family for Rachel's school project. Yvonne seemed grateful in the end. I think we're supposed to see that they're building bridges. Build Bridges! I throw her off one!!

Me too, as I think Doug and Pete have a great partnership and Doug is a great character, probably just taking a short break and then with us again very soon.. least they gave him a mini exit and didn't just forget about him a la Dean style 0 -
100% Agree! I felt sorry for him with such a low key exit. I thought he was worth more than that, he's a cracking young actorMe too, as I think Doug and Pete have a great partnership and Doug is a great character, probably just taking a short break and then with us again very soon.. least they gave him a mini exit and didn't just forget about him a la Dean style

He certainly is, can't wait for him to come back!
Would love FC to bring Duncan back, he was one character that always made me laugh, really loved when he was sharing the place with Zumo :pac::D0 -
Meet the actors: Jim Bartley.
Bela Doyle, former ladies man, always a charmer. In later times a devoted father, and husband, Bela has tried to make amends for his philandering days in the past. But can he go on taking the blame for his daughters' bad behaviour?
We put some of your questions to Jim Bartley.
You had a minor role in Coronation Street in 1974. What was the experience of that like?
It wasn't a minor role, they had planned to develop it. They were all nice people but I was homesick. I played the nephew of a scrap merchant.
How much do you think English Soaps differ from Irish Soaps?
Irish soaps are more real.
Of all the roles, apart from Bela (naturally) which one did you enjoy playing most?
The part of Conway (the baddie) in Taffin.
Why do you think Fair City has stayed so popular over the years?
Irish people relate to it. Also great acting, writing and direction.
You starred alongside Pierce Brosnan & Alison Doody in the film Taffin in the 1980s. What was that experience like?
Very exciting and very busy.
Is there much of a difference from when you started on Fair City, until now?
It's busier.
Do you have a favourite moment or a favourite storyline from all your time on the show?
My favourite moment was when Suzanne was leaving the house to get married. I cried in the scene.
Are you still in contact with the original stars from the show like Martina Flynn who played Anne Clarke & Kira Carroll who played your daughter Helen?
No, life goes on.
Has Bela's relationship with his children changed much since Rita's illness?
Yes, he feels very alone and doesn't want to lose them.
Do you feel protective towards Sarah Flood, as though she was your daughter?
Very definitely, I love her.
If Bela was to go back to his old ways, who from Carrigstown would he go after?
Nobody, it would have to be a stranger.
What has been the most difficult storyline you have had to play?
Suzanne beating up Damien, and Yvonne giving up her children.
What has been your biggest challenge as an actor on Fair City?
Getting up at six am!
Why and how did you get into acting?
From school days and it came naturally.
What was the first part you played?
It was in the The Remarkable Mr. Pennycracker, in the Olympia 1958.
What would your dream role be?
The next one.
If you hadn't been an actor what would have done?
A soccer goalkeeper or worked in PR.
Who is your favourite movie actor of all time?
Anthony Hopkins.
What advice would you give to anyone who wants to become an actor?
It's no use 'wanting' to be an actor. You must 'need' to be an actor, then you'll do it.0 -

From the tone of the answers given, Jim Bartley did not want to do that interview, was telling the person doing the asking to hurry up and get to the next question and not to ask too many more.0 -

I doubt they'll win the main ones against the more fashionable entries like Love/Hate, but I hope Eamonn Morrissey has a chance. He's such a respected figure, and it would be nice to see him get something.
Well done to all 3 but surely Maclean should have got the nomination, that is deeply unfair to me
:(
Grrr. Ted Gannon should have got the nod 0 -

Sylvester Garrigan & Anthony Farrell to give Carol more of a choice.
Lauren McAleer.
Peter Brennan
Nicola/Oisin/New Child, Philipa & Donal Maher
Magda Reyes
Yes, yes yes! Anthony Farrell is fantastically sleazy, bring him back! I'm so thrilled that my two favourites Bob and Turlough are back and not only that, but have a weird alliance going on. Can't wait to see what happens when Louie gets back to Carraigstown. 0 -
