How to shut down the cult in one step, just ring the council and tell them Eoghan has about 12 people living in the house

When you call please let them know about 50 bed b&b in the house next door.

Charlie Roberts is the name of the actor who played Paddy Clarke in Fair City in those days. The actor died in 2005.

Aww... I'm sorry to hear that, as he was a genuinely good actor and a real character! I was hoping that he'd reappear some day and shake Charlie out of his posh phase, but it's never going, sadly, to happen. R.I.P Charlie Roberts. These days, Charlie, Cass and Bela - who I can't believe was once a babe magnet! - share nothing but watch paint dry scenes..... It's all about bunions, allotments, Cass's unbelievable around the world trips, and Westerns... BTW, whatever happened to Cass's young friend, Amanda???

Further to recent events I think the last thing RTE will be doing is encouraging friendships between grown men and teenage girls.

Call me weird, but I'm actually enjoying Oakley's character, I sort of like him - or at least his calm, menacing style..... I know I'm weird as f**k, but I like my genuinely menacing baddies. I'm the type of person who wants the Joker to get the better of Batman, (I root for certain baddies) as I have a soft spot for bad guys/girls, but not in the case of rapists, domestic abusers, or child abusers....

They certainly are more interesting in a soap than watching a boring character like..... Ama......... I won't miss her. Don't know what happened to Amanda.
I get her confused with Karen.

I don't share a name with a character in FC. They haven't given my name to anyone in the entire history of the soap!!

Has Neimh really gone off to 'Dance With The Staff?' I don't see her in the promo line up.

She wasn't in the line up originally announced but I read today that Superstar Aoife Walsh (dunno what she 'stars' at) had to pull out of competition and they'd be announcing her replacement in the coming days but surely whoever the replacement is would be doing some kind of basic training so they're not starting from scratch way behind everyone else.
FWIW I think she'll pop up next on Striking Out or something like that. Flex her acting muscles a bit yeno?

I know, but that's PC for you, I guess.... Many young people share genuinely innocent friendships with older men or women of the opposite sex. (I did as a little girl, and the old man I was so fond of was no child abuser, but a genuine granddad type) Sorry for going off topic, but other soaps have bridged that generational gap with genuine friendships.

Agreed. There's nothing I enjoy more than a drink with my daughter's friends <early twenties>. I know them all since they were seven or eight. They call me Papa Joe. Whenever I go into the local one or two of them always come over for a chat.

Same here, but from the opposite viewpoint. I always love a chat with the older men and a bit of innocent banter, and they've always been decent and respectful.

I can't see how Charlotte got suck into the Cult in the first place, DJ contacts? pfffft, she's evil and wouldn't be sucked into so easily, that's why I think she's double bluffing, maybe she'll end up running things, Decco or Katy doesn't seem to be worried about her.

I can still see Oakley and Charlotte, despite the latest bullying scenes (if he really wanted to hurt her, he could easily have done so by now (he's a doctor, after all, he could have gone the route of the fake overdose thing), or tipped off the Guards himself, but he needs an ally on the inside, and who better than someone like Charlotte, someone not to far removed, though not as sophisticated in her methods as himself - unless they tie up the storyline before its time or throw another cracked tale into the mix - eventually joining forces, as it would be of mutual benefit - given their personalities - to both in the long run. He'll break her down first, IMO, then gradually, let her off the leash a bit more and stick up for her when Emmet is giving her a hard time, and maybe (well, if it was a proper soap it would be well done) gain her trust by revealing things in bits and pieces about how Miriam isn't the saint she pretends to be, and then, eventually she'd agree to help him, while still playing the innocent, terrified ''victim'' of his. Who knows what exactly he told her, asked of her tonight. We all assume copping to the poisoning, but the scene cut then and what if he promised her something in return? Hence a twist to come later.....

Just for fun.... And please don't divulge your real name, but how many of you guys share real names with FC characters; I confess to sharing a first name with one female character.

I've the xsame name as one of the early characters. He'd dead a while. I don't think they've used the name since.

Name of a current character here!

Kerri Anne. Gotta be innit.

Far out as the lighthouse - and if that was my name, I swear to God I'd have it changed!

I couldn't sleep for ages last night, so I re-watched FC on the player app on my phone (I know, know, it's hardly Golden Globe winning material) Even though it went right over my head yesterday evening, the Pete magician thing really made me laugh out loud. Even sugery dim KA was able to see through his coin trick, so that says something about his skill as a magician - namely, he has none! I find it hilarious the way he thinks Ronan is after Dolores. Then poor fella is dying FFS, and he's just lonely - God knows he's mentioned it enough how much he misses his wife - now, if he were really after Dolores, he'd hardly be putting the moves on right under Pete's nose. If anything, it's Dolores who probably has a bit of a thing for him - after all she's always the one inviting him out - not the other way around. Then again, this is Pete we're talking about, hardly the most reasonable minded, likely grumpiest, and probably the most paranoid man on FC (Damian is't far behind him these days)

Anyone else notice the extra in the blue Christmas jumper in the first scene in Vinos lastnight staring directly at the camera and then gaping open mouthed at Doug and Delores as they spoke their lines.

I don't know how that made the final cut! :D
