i was hoping for a long story-line for Kevin learning who he is and accepting it and slowing going on the scene learning about his life but for it all to be done in about 5 episodes is stupid

one minute he's straight no gay

It's like the storyline with the transsexual, Ryan, it's as if it's a box ticking exercise that they're trying to get through as quickly as possible.

Is detective Linda Martin wearing Dermots trench coat?

She's been sharing it with Oakley's solicitor McSweeney.

MsWesterosi

Because we'll have to wait until Sunday to see the brilliant, award winning, nation's favourite, FC, :P as there's really no point (it's getting sort of stale and old for me) in going over the ahem – merits – of Carol versus Aoife, I thought just for the craic and for the want of something better to do at this hour of the night, that I'd compile a list of my most detested, most liked, ''take them or leave them types'', and characters who I sometimes like, sometimes loathe.
Hope it won't bore anyone too much. Anyway, here goes:

Most Liked:

1. Robbie.
2. Callum.
3. Dolores
4. Miriam
5. Dermot (before THE PLAN)
6. Tommy (even though he went psychotic at one stage, he was gas to watch back then, and now that he seems to have calmed the womanising down, I think he's a decent bloke)
7. Melanie (she can have a sharp honest tongue, and can be cutting at times, but I like her)
8. Laura (I know a lot of people find her annoying, but I can't help but like her)
9. Decco
10. The late Michael.
11. Hughie
12. Karen
13. Aoife
14. Hayley (I went from loathing her to actually liking her, especially when that Harmony/Eimear showed up)
15. Dean
16. Bob
17. Cristiano (I know I used to find him annoying as hell, but he's actually a decent fella who has a good heart, and he might be a bit flamboyant, but he's no Kerri-Ann)
18. Farrah
19. Charlotte (I did a full 360 on that one, I went from outright loathing to liking her character)
20. Ray
21. Junior (especially his reaction to finding the money in the bag)
22. Ruthie
23. Leo
24. Jake
25. Aunt Kitty (even though we've never seen her – I wish they'd give her a proper part as opposed to a mention every now and then)
26. And last but not least.... Dr Oakley (I know he was /is evil incarnate, but he was such fun to watch.


Most Loathed:

1. Carol
2. Oisin (good actor, horrible character, I want to slap him across the face every time I see him)
3. Paul
4. The lately departed Niamh
5. Orla
6. Wayne (sap)
7. Mondo (another sap)
8. Kerri-Ann (The biggest idiot ever to stand on two feet)
9. Cathal (but I do like Eric Lalor who plays him)
10. (The hopefully gone for good, or at least a very long time) Ama
11. Nina
12. Debbie
13. Bloomin' Emmet
14. Pete
15. Damo (again went from feeling sympathy to outright hatred)
16. Caoimhe (I never really warmed to her)
17. Kevin (for some reason he's always gotten on my nerves)
18. Ellie (gone, but for a while put me off the idea of ever having kids)
19. Renee
20. ''Ah, sure, lookit'' Jo (please never come back)
21. Benjamin
22. Harmony/Eimear
23. Cass
24. Charlie
25. The late Dan (never really liked him, even before the truth came out about what he did to Aoife)
26. Trigger (still gas to watch, though, especially his pathetic attempt on Robbie's life with a kid's safety scissors)
27. Bloomin' Nora
28. Deegan (always miserable looking as hell)
29. Jack (an annoying kid I can see growing into Benjamin the second)
30. Det. McCabe (grumpy and unprofessional as hell)
31. Doug



On the Fence (sometimes I like, sometimes I loathe)

1. Jane
2. Sash (I liked her first time around, but now she's starting to do my head in – it's as if she's shaping up to be the next Carol)
3. Eoghan
4. Katy
5. Jackie
6. Juliet
7. Bela
8. Rachel (I know she's gone, but sometimes I quite liked her, other times I just wanted to tell her for eff off to Mars)
9. Yvonne (Again, another ex character, but like the others it was a case of going from, ''I hate bloomin' Yvonne, to ''actually, I'm on Yvonne's side'')
10. Ciarain (hopefully he'll make a miracle return soon)
11. Lucy (sometimes wrecked my head, other times thought she was gas. Hope they bring her back.


Sorry for the long post guys, just had nothing better than to do with my time than mull over FC – Janey – what a saddo I am

I'm just waiting for the day when Niamh's famous coat will show up recycled on some other female character..... Aoife seems to wear nothing but the grey suit jacket and grey coat, so Niamh's former coat is most likely to make an appearence in some amended form on her :P

Jane's upper arm and shoulderless tops are another thing that does my head in (Carol must be copying her trend because she has a similar one in red :P )

And as for Kerri-Ann's short, light summer dresses in the middle of winter, her only concession to the cold weather being a cutsy jacket and hat; God but no one dresses like that in the winter time unless they have a condition that doesn't make them feel the cold/rain, etc, or most likely owing to their complete and utter idiocy!

And, as for Jane's tops - I know a lot of the posters on here are fans of the tops, because they do look good on her, but honestly, who has a wardrobe teeming with shoulderless/upper armless tops which they wear all year round, apart from the days on which they wear their work uniform.

I have a wardrobe fit to bursting, full of all manner of clothes, from t shirts and trackies, formal dresses to causal jeans and check shirts, gothic Victoriana, to cosy clothes, sprarkly Christmas party dresses, leather trousers, and maxi summer dresses, hotpants, vintage twenties style, medieval costume dress, and Rockabilly dresses, etc, but am the proud owner of only ONE upper-armless peachy coloured top! Am I missing a new trend here, is the Jane style clothing fashionable now??? If so, I've welll missed the boat...... And there was I thinking I was a trendsetter; curses upon you Jane! :P A JOKE of course, the girl who plays Jane always looks fab!

That'll never happen, the window is too filthy to see through!

With Nora supposed to be an ace cleaner; a real powerhouse when it comes to cleaning. dusting and polishing in general, you'd have thought she'd have it polished so as that it's shining like a diamond in sunlight by now!

Come on, Nora, you're forever stuck around there, get out your cleaning equipment and get to work on that flipping window pronto! :P

What was going on when Robbie went over to see Carol near the end and Cathal appeared out of nowhere? What was he doing there?

I think Carol arranged for Cathal to be there (to make Robbie jealous). She was shown with him earlier in McCoys and said "We need to talk" or something.

Would go along with most of this. Cannot say whether I like or loath Carol. As a person, she can be brash and a hypocrite but she has brought some interesting stories into FC especially early on. We are at present seeing loud hypocrite Carol in typical form.

threetrees

We need Hilda Fay back as Tracy to sort Carol and Robbie out.

I have only become (i'll admit it a huge!!) FC fan in last 18 months but when i was younger i used to sort of dip in and out during the Billy Meehan phase, and i remember Tracy she was fab!

What happened her? I rem she was a prostiture working for Billy i think? Did she surivive?! She was a fab character for sure.

BellaMama

In response to MsWesterosi post.

My fave characters are:
1) Robbie (metoo MsW!)
2) Cathal (the best one liners, would like to see how he gets on with a deeper storyline though)
3) Paul (sorry I love him!, he is funny!)
4) Oisin (its good to be bad)
5) Carol (I am in minority i know!)
6) Farrah (she seems nice, deserves to meet a nice non pyscho fella)
7) Niamh (again am prob in the minority, but I miss her!)

My least fave characters are:
1) Kerri Anne - i dont think there could be a more annoying, person, ever.
2) Ama - she has gone it seems, annoying, self righteous, busy body so annoying!
3)Harmony/Eimear - maybe things will imrpove, but painful to watch
4) Renee - she is okay at the moment, but what a wagon taking Heathers side against Farrah time and time again
5)Karen - just dont have any sympathy for her
6)Jake - boring and unlikeable

Did Billy not kill Tracy in the end?

No, Tracy went onto marry a wife beater called Dominic who had a daughter called Kylie. Tracy and Dominic moved to the UK and I think he died.

threetrees

Tracy had an abusive partner, can't remember if they married, Dominic was his name, but she also had a thing with Dean too. They had a wonderfully romantic fake snow scene one Christmas Day.

Tracy left for the UK, never to return to her best buddy Carol.

youwould

I might be wrong but I think Tracey left Carrigstown to go and live with Ali in the UK. Or possibly vice versa.

I always wondered what they do with the food etc in the Spar shop. Seems a dreadful waste.

Do the crew get it as a perk or what happens does anyone know>

Lots of the food is fake only some of it is really.
I know that there is a box of Roses behind the counter and it's being discontinued with ages now. So it must be really out of date.

Ya like the avonmore soup, they have completely different package in the shops now.

sligojoek

I'm sure the companies give them empty packaging for the displays

threetrees

The bread is the most perfect looking wrapped sliced pan. It's definitely fake. Not a single one has been squeezed to test freshness and the brand name is perfectly central on the wrapper.

LollipopJimmy

Paid product placement

freshpopcorn

Renee must be disappointed with the gay party planners!

Cormdogg

Another Sparnario! What is Robbie trying to decide? Yop or soup?

freshpopcorn

Why is Debbie after moving back in. If I was Eoghan I'd be showing her the door!

Cormdogg

Once you hear the constant sound of feet scuffing off the floor in every scene you can't unhear it. I have never heard it else where!

Cormdogg

Karen lives with Robbie? Christ!

freshpopcorn

Who'd keep a bottle of coke on the window!

Sephiroth_dude

Jackie actually pays attention to her "boyfriend" chewie Lewie, for once the ram isnt hanging off her.

freshpopcorn

How is feel about Robbie/Carol!

Sephiroth_dude

I surprised Eoin remembers his má.

Hilarious story Debbie ya clown!
