Charter Update - January 14th, 2013

There have been several reported posts lately of lewd comments on this forum. Nobody wants to read crap about "what you'd do" to to a character of the opposite sex (or similar sexual comments). It's crass and childish. Lewd comments will earn a one week ban from this point forward.


Charter Update - October 4th, 2013

Please don't make demeaning comments about the appearance of actors that appear in your favourite soaps (saying things like they're ugly, flat chested etc.).

It's not funny or clever, and will earn you a one week ban from this forum from this point forward.

Charter Update - October 31st, 2013

It is against the charter to drag the Fair City thread off topic conversation/Stephen Jokes.

Any repeat offenders of these rules, will be banned.


Charter Update - January 24th, 2015.

Only moderators are authorised to post details of card/infractions/bans in this forum. If posters engage in this practice they will incur a one week ban.

All the usual Boards.ie rules also apply.

If there are any queries/problems, you can send a PM to one of the forum mods.

Here's the 1st post on new thread! Why is Dan so angry? Apart from being paralyzed, of course. Is it because none of his blood relatives have visited him yet?

Oil slick moved him after the explosion and it's highly possible this caused him to be paralyzed.

Don't you just love that 'new thread' smell?
Dan's physiotherapist is surprisingly vocal. Does that mean we'll be seeing more of her? Will she become a regular and fall in love (or 'have feelings for') one of the cast? Cass is free!
Mind you, the only physio she's done so far is to lift up one of Dan's legs, once.
Is this why she spent years studying ?

Dan looks very flexible for a man that's paralysed. He puts on a face like a spoiled child in every scene, he's overacting his scenes.

I give it a week before Dan declares his love for her.

Seeing as Max confessed recently to a story we thought was gone, any chance that Greaseball and Callum ever bump into each other again, and maybe Greaeball confesses to the garage robbery?

I can see Sean getting it on with "Me Daaaa"

You'd think that Phil's mother would have at least popped in to see Dan, even if it was just to say ha ha ha!

Or his own family or friends, he a "local" after all

Or even Sean, who's supposed to be working with him
Though Sean probably would end up calling the Guards, and accusing Dan of being in possession of wobbly lips.

It's a ridiculous storyline, as is usual for Fairly Shitty, but I hope Owen Roe stays in it for a while. He might teach the rest of them how to act properly (apart from Bryan Murray).

Bryan "whisper every word he says under his breath" Murray is a good actor and a wasted talent lately in fairness. This new story with his brother could be a decent story arc if the writers were any good. But i imagine they will make a solid balls of it as usual.

Shur isnt grumpy Dan in the bed worth the license fee alone. And what with the love quadrangle brewin with physio wan, shur that will make great viewin altogether.

Did the Paul Brennan household die or what? No sign of that crowd lately. No harm i suppose.

The big problem with fair city story lines is that the writers start a story without any idea how they'll finish it, then it gets dragged on and on and comes to a ridiculous conclusion the majority of the time.

They're busy taking down the Christmas decorations at long last. Although I wouldn't even be surprised if the next time we see them (March? July?) those cards are still hanging over the cooker. Pristine as ever of course.

What usually happens is that Bob and the doctor brother will be at loggerheads for a week or two, then some character in the show will say to Bob, "Brothers shouldn't fight," or something profound like that. Bob will stare off into the distance for a few seconds. Then the ad break, and when it returns, the brothers will have made up and booked tickets for the opera.

He certainly needed a hand with his signature!

Bob's upset/grief at the news that a woman he hasn't seen in 30 years has died is ridiculous....Doc Grumps had barely got the "dreadful" news out of his mouth and Bob was fit to be sedated!:rolleyes:

Have you ever seen the "Fair City Fans" Facebook page! It is like the complete antithesis of what goes on here!! Every comment is an appraisal and they go on like the programme is Grammy Award winning worthy!! I amn't slagging their page (before the mods appear!) I just think its hilarious how the respective contributors to this thread and the FB page see the show so differently! I MUCH prefer this thread though!!

emanresu esrever

So Dan is able to cross his legs on the bed and sits casually on the wheelchair and has upper body strength and flexibility that a man paralysed from hips down shouldnt have!! Yet he cant write a signature now and he is claiming his memory is being affected! Christ!
