I just think your one Bronagh must have taken a wallop to the head during the lockdown , the way she has been with Will since returning and thinking he might be asking her on a date, like WTF he’s gay? I seriously wouldn’t want her to be looking after me if I was in need of any medical attention.

Anyway I think Will is to young for her. Didn’t she flirt with Deegan at one stage.

Agree
I have watched since 1989
But during lockdown didn't miss it at all
Watched Sunday's episode and thought it was awful
Forgot about yesterday's but just caught it on RTE Player.
Dire beyond belief.
There's only so much of "A PINT" and Maclean Burke's stupid faces that I can take.

Why is Melanie always around Bob now? Does she have a job in The Hungary pig?

Oh maybe you have uncovered the next 2 to have an affair

Poor Bob from Renee to Melanie, even the battering nurse Will might be better for him

It's a bit harsh. It's a though job starting it back up again. I watched the first few episodes of the social distancing eastenders and it was so dramatic and not one word of covid and fake. I like fair city because its a bit more realistic to real life. Just a little bit. I'm kinda warming to the dancing story line. I like how they tapped into the dancing with the starts things. It's lighthearted and God knows we need something to lighten this year. The writers and directors might be apprehensive to start on some big story lines due to covid and maybe some actors needing to be off in isolation and quarantine. Hopefully it will all go well with them.

I do wonder if these first few episodes were thrown together at a moment's notice. It's all just filler stuff.

What would Cristiano think if he saw how pally pally crazy nurse and muppet will are getting? like she couldn't stand him before lockdown and now there best pals sharing their feelings with one another, FFS!

It's not harsh at all IMO, Eastenders also have to abide by the Covid 19 rules and yet they are able to have a number of storylines going to keep the viewers entertained.

The material in FC was never great to begin with but it was enough to pass half an hour but this drivel is dire, we hear about covid 19 all day in real life so could do with a break from reality if only for 30 mins.

And its not as if FC are doing the covid story correctly anyway, no masks in shops and medical centres which makes no sense at all.

They are well funded by our license fee so its on them to produce a quality show not this half baked crap we are seeing this week.

Jaysis, this stuff is drivel.

The RTE ad for the return of this made out it was unmissable drama...

This programme is right up there with the likes of Mrs. Browns Boys as the worst programme in tv history!

Ah ya got there before me, how much more covid related stuff can they put into 1 episode

Andy From Sligo

ah hear these ones in the shops and cafe's nobody with masks on - this will give viewers mixed messages .. you will already have ones at home that believe FC is real life go "oh well they are not wearing masks in the shops so we dont have to .." - I understand that its most probably hard to act with a mask on but still

Andy From Sligo

cringe fest that dancing .. :eek:

bubbles o hara

Obviously they couldn't ignore a pandemic that has affected everyone, but this is ridiculous. It's more like a 25 minute HSE covid prevention advert than a soap.

lillycakes2

This Soap is an insult to anyone's intelligence ...... I actually couldnt believe what i was seeing on the episode last night. Absolute cods wallup !!!! Time to call it a day, I dont know who in the name of anything is writing that script............And the acting is pure shocking..............its embarrassing to have that on television....................

Andy From Sligo

its a soap alright ... with all that hand washing going on in every bloody damn scene ! -

Johnnythefox4

This is dire. We are already bombarded with Covid 19 misery by rte, we don’t need a soap which is supposed to give us a bit of escapism ramming it down our throats. That story from the nurse about the old lady that died was shocking in how badly it was done. Stop shoehorning things that supposedly happened in carrigstown while it was locked down into every episode. And stop with the hand washing in every single bloody scene. People are not complete morons, they don’t need dolly or Renee to remind them of good hygiene.

Bring back Leo and his guitar, and Tommy Dillon riding all round him
