It's a very useful resource. I had completely forgotten how Tess Halpin was killed by a swarm of wasps.

Cherry Blossom Girl

How premature is Suzanne's baby meant to be? 'Cause at 6lbs it's hardly premature at all. More shoddy research by the writers :rolleyes:

JONJO THE MISER

:eek: A baby on ecstacy....

Detective Byrne's daughter Jenny let Ross into Molloys' house while babysitting Jessica. When Jenny left the room, Ross was sorting out the ecstasy stash he was going to sell and accidentally let a tablet fall out.

Lucy pisses me off so much it's not even funny.

Wayne is an idiot IMO, pathetic character. That part at the end when he claimed to have walked in on a drug deal and had been hit was cringe-worthy.

Life expectancy in Carrigstown must be nearly as short as in Cabot Cove.

Does anyone remember the first actress who played Dolorus Molloy? I vaguely remember her and think it was the same person who plays Judith. Maybe im wrong though...

She was, Marty was his name

Lucys parents died a long time ago , this is how the social worker knows her. She now fully believes Delores is her ma. " I git a lovely gift for my ma but my da tore it up "
This is how Pete giving Delores the voucher before she could played out in her crazy little head.
She is mental and goes around regional soaps thinking people are her mother. Id say she will be on emmerdale next .
But in all honesty I think this is where they are going . She will have some meltdown and they will help her and all will live happily ever after. Then a message telling peope if they have been affected with any of these issues to call a number will be shown after he meltdown.

It was. She played Dolores for the first series (1989 - 1990). Nobody in Fair City seems to have noticed.

No she was definitely killed by a swarm of wasp in the great wasp plague of '94 which killed off a great many of the cast and resulted in the quarantine of Carrigstown for several months. Or maybe wikipedia is wrong.........

She probably came back for a wash as they don't have running water outside of Dublin. Either that or Keith, who has a surprisingly lovely falsetto, was singing in the shower and when Pete heard him he was embarrassed and pretended to be Orla.

She didn't give David up because of his disability. His adoption was arranged long before he was born because it was 1960s Ireland and few single women who got pregnant got to keep their babies. And of course that's a big part of why she is being so insane about Suzanne's baby. She never got to be a mother but now all of a sudden she gets to be a grandmother. It's a complete fresh start and a chance to wipe the slate clean of her life's biggest regret. That would be quite overwhelming to most people and Esther is something of a control freak at the best of times, so it's no wonder she is carrying on like she is.

But also no wonder Suzanne is planning on staying on the far side of the world for as long as possible. Because, understandable or not, no new mother would want to deal with her being so overbearing.

Geoff Minogue (Tommy Dillon) was in FC before, playing "Ruadhri Downes", though I don't remember him.

Good spot. It's not that long ago either. I'm trying to recall the character but failing.

Think the "Clare Whelan" was a young woman living in one of Jimmy and Robyn's flats. Very fetching.

Thanks. In the same episode there was an American character called Cassandra, who had a relationship with Paul. I remember her.

Now I remember Clare Whelan. She lived with her partner and her son (I don't know if her partner was the boy's dad). I remember that an English football agent, Johnny Garnet (according to the IMDB page about the episode in question), made a financial offer to her son to encourage him to join a fictional football club called Petermeir.

Clare was played by Maeve McGrath. I remember her face.

You're right. I got confused there. I didn't know that Maeve McGrath played Lorraine.

I like the Bob/Yvonne friendship. Probably two of the best actors on the show.

I feel sorry for Niamh at the moment. She has made lots of sacrifices for Paul in the past and instead of supporting and encouraging her, he just continues to treat her like crap.

ah here MrsD, we're gonna have a big falling out... and over Fair City ... Paul is an idiot, but Niamh is very self indulgent...

And on a minor issue, if Paul had "deleted the website from the server", there would have been a copy of the website saved locally before it had been FTP'd up to the server... So FC didnt really do their background check on that.
