So where did Ama get the money for the trip?

The pay of a nuss - in particular a super-nuss is extremely generous in Carrigstown!

What about Hughie recieving the letter from Natalie's solicitor re her money - which I assume was something to do with her will? If they were to suddenly ressurect her, it would make FC even more unbelievable than ever, as the wills of living persons - and proof of death is needed - aren't executed without the same,. Then again, FC never pays any attention to the actual law..... It makes up BS and retcons as it goes along....

I just remember when Kevin reappeared lots of people were expecting her to come back and were saying it was a scam to get money off Hughie!

nuss or nurse?

How did no one notice Dr. Death putting the poison into the tea? Was the place not full of all the "disciples" milling round or whatever?

Kerri Ann being all emotional when Ama was leaving, since when were they besties? Kerri Ann was nowhere to be found when Shane the doctor was cheating on Ama with Heather, its weird how FC suddenly decide who likes each other. Just like Robbie and Dermot in safe houses etc all last year!

first rule of fair city ...... make it up as you go along

I think in truth he is only about 6ft 3 or something, showing how small most of the cast are. The male characters are ridiculously short (Mondo, Decco, Emmet etc), there doesn't seem to be anyone even over 6ft, bar Oakley himself.

I'd say the same; 6'3 or 6'4 but most of the other cast members are average height or below. Everyone looks taller or smaller on TV, according to their body shape and how they hold themselves. For example; a couple of years ago, my brother and I saw a TD who's on and off the news a fair bit, well at least he used to be. I always assumed from TV that he was at least 5'9 or 5'10, but in reality, he's only about an inch taller than me - he walked right by us on a packed street and I was wearing flat shoes - and I'm only 5'3.... I couldn't stop gawking - not because I was star struck (as if ) - because I was shocked that my 5'9 brother completely dwarfed him and he was just a shade taller than me! TV can be deceiving!

The fact that Oakley is towering over everyone in each scene makes me think it's a short cast. Having said that, Bob Charles and Leo Dowling look like they're around the 6ft mark.

As you say body shape. He's not carrying an ounce and has a stately kind of bearing.. Maybe we can call him De Valera?!!;) He was known for pulling a stroke too!

I'm obsessed with naming my first ever Fair City character

Maybe we should nickname him ''the Long Fella'' as a nod to Dev (can't stand politicians BTW myself)

Re the whole cult thing.... I'm starting to form the opinion that the Phoenix Way itself was/is no cult at all, but a genuine self-help group with headquarters in the slightly unbelievable Warsaw :P My take on in is that if the recent spoiler is true, that both Miriam and Oakley joined it in order to deal with the issue they were going through, but Miriam, being slightly more unbalanced and unhealthily obsessed, added the whole ''cultish'' vibe to it. Oakley, is probably pi**ed off over how she hijacked something that was actually helping people (he's a doctor after all) before she took it over with her ''circle of healing BS'' and wants to destroy her group completely before she f**ks any more people up, like she did Hannah. He's just using Charlotte as a means to an end, but in no way do I think he'll hurt her.... Actually, if he levels with her, being as scheming as she has proved herself to be, I can actually see them joining forces to bring down Miriam, Emmet, et al, quite possibly helped by Cormac (an Oakley mole on the inside, is my take on him). Anyway, that's just my opinion, feel free to contradict me, offer your own views, opinions, that's just my take, and as my Gran used to say I could very well be ''as far out as the lighthouse'', meaning I'm barking up the wrong tree!

Or basketball!

He be good at basketball i reckon... Good for changing a light bulb as well, wouldn't have to use a ladder

They're all the same height lying down.

I have a feeling we're in for nine months of Kerri-Anne running around her handbag awkwardly bumping into Mondo!

Not starting until half past tonight!
