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.

So Callum is back for good then? Despite him saying 2 weeks ago "Ah ill see how it goes"- where did he think he was going to stay?? Just burden himself in the Brennan household- in the spare room next to Oisin? Rachels old room? And did he just expect Paul to hand him a job with regular money? Is there nobody in Barcelona that hes missing or would prefer to spend holidays with?? Ridiculous script writing with him.
Elsewhere, Katy paints Rose to look like a constipated goat and yet gets every single nuance of Stripeys eyebrows perfectly in sync! You are wasted in that cell dear. I used to look forward to the KT storyline but now they have dragged it out and beaten its corpse so bad now that it currently falls into the "Decco/KerriAnn, Damien/Caoimhe" category of personal interest ie IM NOT!
A real shame, could have been a cracking story but they left it fester too long.

Dermo was going to hire a guy with a van to pick up his Xmas tree. Ffs! Ciaran has forgotten Sex Cop 2000 already! Whaaaaaaaaat was the point of that crap with Nora & Caddle? So is Jane going to try and get 10% cut of Derm's 50% of Paul's cash? Even though her own son is Paul's eldest son. If Callum played his cards right he could inherit the lot! Now could everyone shut up talking about Jack's Da!

dee_mc

Dermot could've bought his tree from the Spar across the road from his house - clearly not a believer in shopping local then.

dee_mc

Also, did anyone else notice the state of Emmeh in KT's painting? His neck was wider than his head!

Cormdogg

Ah jaysus!! KTs painting gave me the biggest lol of 2016

walshb

I'm so detached from this god awful K T story that the whole painting thing went right over my head!

CollyFlower

Wasn't there a PLAN between Nicole and Osion to fleece Paul whatever happened to that? :rolleyes:

Cazale

When was the painting shown? I must have missed it.

It was swallowed up by Niamh's hostile takeover plan. Similar to a company merger..

fin12

Haha Fair city xtra clip on the player, I have the same Christmas jumper as Dermot, it's a light up Christmas jumper from Penneys, he has good taste Dermot.

Mister Vain

Hailey under the bed reminded me of that scene from Mr Woodcock.

Above is RayM's link to the 1990 Fair City Christmas special with Eoghan. Excellent post. It deserves to be linked incase anyone hasn't seen it.

I'm surprised ciaran didn't buy a colouring book for Katy to keep her occupied.

Niamh is a pain.

At first I thought it was a selection box he had brought her!

Is this the first time that we hear about Louie sending his kid a present? I'm getting the feeling that we may see Louie back soon in fair city.

He does a lot of foreign travel. He might have the Zica virus

Niamh inviting Jane and Nicola to Christmas dinner made me put my head in my hands. As IF they'd want to go there for dinner.

Spoiler for next Wednesday....and NO, this isn't an old spoiler from October!

Katy formulates a plan to escape her cell

Jesus wept!

Niamh is a weird individual. She seemed to be nearly getting off on the idea of having sex with Paul with Hayley in the room listening. If she hates the two of them that much, what is she even still doing in the "marriage"? She's going to come out of the Plan looking all bitter and twisted.

Murdoc90

is there any mention of the plan in the '90 episode?

No. But it did keep me on the edge of my seat. Will Mrs O'Hanlon make the mince pies? Will Helen wear the earrings Bela gave her? Will Anne cook the Christmas dinner? :P

i turned off after 10mins, funny i used to think the acting got worse as the show got older, never have i been so wrong.

Ah I liked it a lot tbh. I love seeing old episodes of shows that don't have reruns.

I enjoyed it too. I wonder what was the terrible thing that Barry O'Hanlon was (falsely) accused of? And who was the woman in Nottingham that Bela was ringing (his mistress obviously)?

Wasn't Mumbles sitting at xmas dinner last year with Niamh and Paulio?

Must have been two years ago, he was already dead this time last year.

Niamh is not the long suffering wife. Paul is pathetic but I hope Niamh fails in her big scheme. She is just too irritating to feel sorry for. It isn't a million years ago that she was with Michael and missed Rachel. Now, Rachel is gone and she sends Ruth off to be with her for christmas. It is a ridiculous plot.

Le Cheval

Excuse me for being out of the loop, but is there no episode tonight?

silverlight69

Not until Christmas day, @8.25pm, rte1 Paul (aka scrooge) and his ghosts of christmas past ..........

Niamh and Paul are long termers who wont leave therefore any storylines connected to them are devoid of tension. We all know that in Christmas 2017 Paul and Niamh will still be together so why even bother with all this Plan crap???

Where does Ciaran do Katy's washing and buy her lady products from?

How come Don Paulio wasn't in the 90's episode. Wasn't he in FC since the start?

In it since 1989 but mustn't have been involved in any storylines for it.

When I saw it first my eyes lit up as I thought she had drawn the Ram in !!!! But alas his acceptance will be belated and he will have Farrah screaming "meeeeeeeeeeeeeee raaammmmmmmn" by the time she gets out!!

The Talking Bread

Come to think of it Glenrose looks like Leo in it!!!!!

I feel cheated by FC this week, they're holding back two episodes that should have been shown this week, the feckers are keeping them for Christmas 🎄 day..... 😠 😖

They've actually chopped an episode for Christmas (!) :rolleyes: A Wednesday episode and a double header on Christmas Day means we're an episode down this week. It seems the spirit of Scrooge is alive and well at RTE.

He's due a comeback I reckon.

Is Paul selling his house or something?

The Niamh episode was 6 years later, 1996.

Ah, you're right Silverligh. .... We, we the staunch FC fans need to shut up and be grateful for the breadcrumbs they serve us.. Ha!

Be it positive or negative, I really think we here on this thread are the real fans of FC.!

"Charter Update - October 31st, 2013

This Mod Rule brings back the memories!! Anyone remember the Boards.ie FC Thread Civil War against Stephen Jokes almost four years ago!
Literally divided the thread into "Stephenites" and "StephenHaters"... The vitriol so strong, democracy had to step in and the posters went to the polls to decide whether Stephen Jokes would be Banned! It was close but the key difference was that the Stephenites couldn't draw support from those who voted "they weren't bothered"
The StephenHaters, therefore won the vote (50.51% against Stephen Jokes) and the rest is history!

We all know the result from that monumental landmark referendum but for old times sake, here is a throwback for those who fancy some reminiscing or to the recently joined members!

The Poll Result overshadowed even Paddy Bishops death, both events happening on the same day!

Both Paddy and Stephen thrown to the lions on the same day!

Boards FC Thread, got to love it!!
