Two interesting bits..

“It’s tucked in somewhere between Phibsboro and Drumcondra and on a clear day you might find it.”

On another wall there are a series of cards printed with the working titles of stories, underneath which are headshots of various actors. On a third wall a white board lists all the actors available for the weeks in question. The weeks in question are next April.

“You find yourself wishing your life away in this job,” says series consultant Gareth Philips. “I felt Christmasy when we were writing the Christmas storylines months ago.”

I guess that puts paid to the notion the writers are taking the suggestions here on board :P

Ingrid's eyebrows or Rita's bell??

lets hope they are....... MORE STEPHEN PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE

I would love to see a scene with Stephen discussing wine with Renee, as it happens he is an expert on wine, from his years of working in the bar trade.. Louie butts in and Stephen puts him in his place, cue apology scene from Louie to Stephen later on in the episode, resulting in Stephen taking over Sash's role of manager..

now, theres 2 Stephen scenes, and many more possible scenes as he takes on the role of manager, ditches the McCoys polo shirt and dresses down expressing himself through his clothes, cue anger from Neasa as the Station is the cool pub in Carraigstown.. ending with an affair between Stephen and Neasa as they realise they are of the same mentality, then Stephen leaves Louie high and dry, and embarks on a journey with Neasa to make the Station the coolest pub in Ireland.

I would drink there...

Good to see Stephen getting more lines. Would love to see some sort of story with him.

Hey Zumo, you could add your mother to the list as well. Vivienne hasn't been seen for ages. Where is she??

If that's the case, I reckon he's bitten off more than he can chew.

Yay

Ingrid

is leaving soon

It can't be a coincidence that Stephen gets more lines just as Sash leaves. Carol/Louis situation is bound to have an :influence on staffing too so I think there's a fair chance he'll come on board. Three questions - is he credited ? if so what's his screen surname? and does anyone know the actor who plays him? Maybe find out whether he becoming a "real cast member "

The kind of changes we are noticing are "tweaks " such as Louis realizing that his wife doesn't need to be reminded their baby is a baby. They are made easily by the director or even the actor themselves on the day.
There is a script in fair city alright but most of what we hear is made up by the actors I reckon :-D

But it all depends on when the actual filming is done. They're hardly going to re-shoot scenes because people on a message board don't like the way Louis says 'Baby Jack'

Hi I love this thread. Some of the comments are priceless!

Anyway, how do I read the spoilers? Haven't a clue, thanks. Doh.

Temaz

Wonder what the free spirit will be doing in tonight's episode?

It certainly is annoying. It is as if they never existed and then suddenly they appear from out of no where. The episodes are dominated by certain characters one week, they disappear next week and no-one even misses them!

I agree. It is rather silly that Louis consistently refers to Jack as "Baby Jack". I wonder if there is another Jack lurking somewhere? Perhaps Louis is delusional and has an imaginary friend which he calls "Jack"? If Louis is ad-libbing and ignoring the script by unconsciously adding the word “Baby” whenever referring to Jack well then he should be penalised financially.

Have always assumed he was a member of the production team or something? He speaks fairly regularly.. Google shows up nothing! Would love to know..

Enjoyed tonights episode, but Ingrid's plan wasn't exactly well thought out.. How long before Louis found out the truth?

Maeve looked ridiculous wearing a scarf.. Didn't exactly look Baltic!!

I love Ingrid (she is hot! Not crazy about her hair though)

FC is without doubt the best soap on tv at the moment.. I'm a huge Ros na Rún mark, but FC has definitely overtaken it.. There was a time when FC was a laugh a minute (not intentionally), but it has improved greatly. Thoughts?

Does anyone else think Maeve looks nearly the same age as Dermot? She doesn't look like this Younger Woman.
Ingrid looks amazing, but something funny about the eyebrows, I'm sure a good pencil would sort it

In fairness, Ingrid's plan was for Carol to catch them which would then mean the wedding would be of and Louis would be free. The Renee twist is a good one. She can make Louis' life miserable before she tells Bob and he destroys him

All free spirits who like bike riding and gazing through telescopes look like that.

Dermott just looks really young . You have to realise he was a middle aged td about ten years ago . Hes in his 60s now .
Maeve looks real old all these early morning bike rides and late night giggs followed by early morning kite flying followed by late night star gazing takes its toll on your skin .

I hate the mustard woollen yoke Maeve wears, looks like it's from that 2nd hand shop. (Another of Jo's old cast-offs?)

Does romantic Birr have a hotel?

There is 4 hotels in Birr according to trip adviser!

Seve OB

Not morethan 5 minutes ago Lucy walked past me on James Street. Holy sweet divine #^€x. I mean she is easily the best looking chick I've seen all day

Seriously though, she is unbelievably stunning. If I were Wayne, I wouldn't give a damn either that she is a fruit loop! You don't get to many chances in your life to pull cracking birds like her.
