Ok I'm not actually a fan of the show but it's on in my house every night so I do follow it a bit.

One thing I've noticed over the last few weeks is a awful piece of character development from the writers. I mean, the character development is poor at best in this show but this case has to be one of the worst.

I don't know what the character's name is, she's Christy's wife/girlfriend is all I know. Anyway, I remember when her and Christy first got into a relationship, she was incredible nice and friendly. Yet over the last few weeks, leading up till Christmas, her character has just become ridiculously aggresive and ignorant. It just seems that anytime she interacts with any other character, except Christy, she either attacks them or just talking really ignorant about another character.

I mean it's just terrible from paid writers. How do these guys manage to be so bad when shows like Love/Hate can have such great storylines? Seriously, do they not realise this kind of stuff when they're writing it?

Stephen was amazing in that scene, training Orla, then the sympathetic "sorry" to Caddle

I can't believe Stephen has been passed over for promotion without even an interview?

The faces Val is pulling is getting worse, when she was behind Renee in the shop she looked like a dolt. Also I think Ben is getting the lyrics wrong to Jingle bells

How come Stephen isn't being made manager of McCoys?

But was Yvonne not in favour of Carol and Loius getting married? Or was there some sort of Machiavellian plot in Yvonne's mind? Or doesn't Louis own the pub anyway (ok I know Bob has a tuppeny halfpenny share in the pub) so surely it's his call to evict Carroll? Or ....doesn't matter ... FC is crap this last while :mad:

Yvonne will become herself again. Nice and sweet doesn't last long.

Stephenmania has started. "The glasses are there, the crates are there." Said with such passion!

As for Val, yes she is getting beyond annoying now, and you know how FC has this Paid Product Placement deal with Spar - well she's not exactly a good advertisement for the customer service department is she - snooping on people's conversations, giving everyone that buys something a piece of her mind. Spar might quickly want to pull out of that contract because she is surely the shop assistant from hell. I lay the blame with the writers though, because her comments are making her less and less credible as a character.

Val will be gobsmacked for once when Eddie's past is revealed.........

Stephen was the obvious choice. It is an absolute disgrace that he did not get the gig. :mad:

The constant facial contortions and head shaking and nosiness of that woman are getting beyond a joke now. As someone said before, I can't wait for the day she finds out about her precious son Eddy :mad:

I wish Christy would tell her to f**k off, she's a terrible ould wagon. Am also counting down the days until she finds out about Eddie and his time inside.

The whole thing doesn't make any sense, unless, of course, there's some sort of mad Fair City twist to the whole thing, for example, it's not Yvonne behind it at all, but some gangland ex pal of Carol's to whom Louis sold the pub, who is hellbent on some sort of revenge for something Billy Meehan did to them back in the day. I know that doesn't make feck all sense either, but - hey - it is Fair City!:p

Tracey and Dominic own the house Bob stays in.

It used to be owned by Hannah, Yvonne's granny.

I don't think Tracey owns any other property, but this is FC, conntinuity is not a priority.

The acting was ****e tonight even more than usual and I'm looking at it for 3.42 minutes

I like how they are easing the big steve in . About time he got his break . He pulled off the awkwardness of the situation where he was just an employee wanting to be loyal to the boss and yet getting on with the change . His body language was great .
I think he is going to swindle/ inherit the pub in the end .

Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth .

I get great satisfaction from Ben, even though the acting is diabolical, I keep hoping it will work and Maeve will not come around anymore. Was there no-one there to teach him the real words of jingle bells?

Orla's looking great.

How could Tommy say: 'Judith's excited, so am I' in such a deadpan not excited at all voice?

Does Val not look at herself? Surely, even if the Directors (are blind and) don't notice it, she'd cop herself on when she'd see herself on the screen. Why do the other actors not say, Ah here now, Val stop that crappy carry on, you're embarrassing me, I can't do a scene with you going on like that? She should get some lessons in 'effortless and discrete' with el maestro Stephen.

No you're right, why would Louis turf his son out of his accommodation. Maybe Louis has had a mental breakdown and Ingrid has Power of Attorney, and it's her legal team instructing Farrell. Which brings me onto why is Farrell Louis' solicitor - that doesn't make sense.

The anti-Val comments are encouraging.
