Is he the lad in the wheel chair?
Tesco used the same Hosts ads as last year and the lad in the wheel chair was in it I think!

As someone who suffers with depression, I have to say Fair City is unintentionally, the funniest show produced by RTE.

I only occasionally watch, but when I do, I'm absolutely guaranteed a laugh.
Bravo

Agreed and this forum just adds to it!

My poor attempt to make Fair City a sit-com;

Yeah theres a second part;

I probably won’t get a reply to this question

But why on the RTÉ player the tesco ad with the guy in the wheelchair has subtitles
But the rest of the adds don’t have subtitles
Do RTÉ think because someone is in a wheelchair they are deaf too ?

I don't know why they brought Mark back, all he did was go around trying (and failing) to act the hard man and spill coffee on a laptop.

Completely unrealistic as well having Haley drooling after him.

Did you not think it strange that he got so emotional with Damian about not letting go of his child.....maybe another Robbie/Aoife/Karen/Dan/Carol situation...without the rape tho.:)

Do you mean this ad:

It's part of the ad itself, not something put in by RTE. See this ad from Tesco as part of the same ad campaign, also has subtitles as standard:

With him you'd nearly expect rape..

True he was worked up.

Yeah, he's yer man that pops up every now and then that used to go out with/got back with (can't rightly remember which) Rapey Dan's ex girlfriend; I think her name was Sally and she got some big gig in England training some basketball team or something. I can't really remember the ins and outs of that whole storyline, because I usually found something better to do every time there was a scene with Dan and the basketball crowd, but the lad, Rocco, I think was a member of the team.

No I’ve seen the Tesco ad with the girl who’s talking about her Dad has subtitles.

So did I, because I remember someone on here saying it, then someone said it was Fionnula Flanagan

So, being a curious fellow Galweigan, Galwayguy35

I decided to Google it, and yes, Marcus Lambe who plays Oakley is the son of Geraldine Plunkett who plays Rose in FC and formerly Mary Moran in Glenroe and the late actor Peadar Lamb.

Paul the chef and Charlotte and Nicola back!

Sephiroth_dude · 03-12-2017 08:09PM

Paul is happy too see Nicola

?

freshpopcorn · 03-12-2017 08:24PM

Miriam should take out a restating order against Douglas!

nagdefy · 03-12-2017 08:29PM

Disappointing episode after last week.

Basically because we have Paul the Chef and Nicola back and Kerri Anne/Mondo/Decco/Ama taking up episode time.

Sephiroth_dude · 03-12-2017 08:35PM

Miriam has recruited more mutes, SAPS!

Oh great ama is back, she'll find out about Kerri ann and Mondo now and will demand they tell decco

"I am the local nosey nurse, I demand you tell decco what you did" muppet!

laylag · 03-12-2017 09:18PM

Leo's new facial hair.

Omg.

Muahahaha · 03-12-2017 09:26PM

I like the cult story but does anyone else think that it wont be finishing at Xmas and it is likely to go as long as the Katie in her box story which might give it till June or July next year?

It's pretty much like the rest of the stories. The same scenes repeated over and over. Very little progress from one episode to the next.

sligojoek · 03-12-2017 09:46PM

If anyone is still reading, Paul Raynor is coming up in a minute on Plus 1 on the Pat Shortt show. Good laugh. I tried posting at the time but boards was down.

I just saw it! Cried laughing. He's a great singer though.

MsWesterosi · 03-12-2017 10:33PM

I'm so sick of the whole Kerri-Ann/Mondo thing, and now they have Ama the nosey nightmare nuss on the case, plus bloomin' Nicola is back, and Paul is a chef/trainee chef now

I didn't even know he could boil a kettle; especially seeing as he - like all the other FC regulars - usually gets his tea/coffee from Spar/Vinos/McCoy's or the Station.

I hope the cult thing doesn't become another Katy in the box; if they drag it out too long, it'll just get even more ridiculous.... If Miriam had done such a great job at brainwashing Emmet, he wouldn't offer to beat the s***e out of Doug every chance he gets. No; his particular brainwashed condition only works when he's trying to seduce anyone who's not Doug or Pete into the group. Oh, yeah, it works when Debbie is the antagonist - in their minds - too, he's all creepy smiles and forgiveness.

I was hoping that Robbie would find out the truth about what Dan did to Aoife; really, it's the only part that holds my interest, but they'll probably drag that one out too....

It's a sad thing to say; but my highlight of tonight's episode was Leo's tache....:P:P

Is Nobody worried about Dermot`s Indefinite detention without trial ??????
