God! I hate KA (now that Ama is gone she's my most loathed character), can't believe she hasn't joined the group as she'd be the ideal candidate, gullible, naive, stupid, has dreams of riding unicorns along beaches (she probably believes in them too). I think even the calm, collected ''violence is not the answer'' Miriam would flip and beat her to a pulp with the baseball bat Emmet used to batter Doug and Pete with!
It’s definitely Mondos because it’s a soap and most babies are concieved as the result of a one night stand or affair/fling. Why isn’t Kerrianne booking herself in for a std test, she had unprotected sex.0 -

Maybe she thought the tights would act as a condom. I can’t stand the biatch. I thought the doctor said she would have difficulty conceiving but ha presto, one night with Mondo and she’s pregnant.0 -

I only started watching FC properly when I was in my late teens - before that it was just H&A and - because for some reason it's still my favourite because even as a primary school kid I found it funny and cosy to watch - Corrie. There was another Cassidy sister, I think she might have been older than Sean. Can't really remember who she hung around with, but she was dark haired, a bit b****y and was a trainee hairdresser/MUA. I think she was called Catriona.0 -
Speaking of the lack of continuity and revisionism in FC. My mam has been watching it from the start, and she told me that Frank the painter/decorator who had the affair with Dolores first made an appearance with Damian in order to do up Rita Doyle's shop - now Spar. When FC first started, she said Doyles' was just a typical little old fashioned corner shop (and Bela wasn't in that first series, that it used to go off air at a particular time of the year, that he was a long distance truck driver based in England and only made his first appearance in the second series), but Rita had it revamped and had a curved red counter put in and it (the shop) extended and painted blue. She said Damian had highlights in his hair at the time and was supposed to be late teens/early twenties. She told me that when Damian first turned up with Frank wearing the painters' whites and a big sulky head on him that Rita asked Frank, words to this effect, ''and who is your helper today'' and that Frank replied. ''This is Damian, the sister's lad'' and told her that Damo was his apprentice. Later Damo and Suzanne tried to run away to Limerick.... Anyway, when the Halpin family turned up, she said there was no mention whatsoever of Frank being Damian's mother's brother, that he was just a family friend, when it had clearly been stated that he was Tess's brother. She swears to that to this day and it's a major peeve with her! 0

Your mother is spot on re Damian and Frank.
For the first couple of years, Fair City stopped broadcasting for the summer.
Then we got one episode a week during the summer months.
Bela was only introduced in the second year (1990).
The recycling of actors is also annoying and unacceptable.
Dolores #1 and Dr Judith Dillon were played by the same actress.
Tom Bowen and Eoghan O'Brien also played by the same actor.0 -

Was he a boyfriend/work colleague of Sarah, who was accidentally killed by Barry? The name rings a bell and when I think of him - even though I can't properly recall what he looked like - I always picture Sarah too.
Re the whole Sarah thing; the one thing that still makes me cringe/laugh was Sarah's ''Pal Page'' (FC's version of Facebook) that Barry kept posting updates on in order to convince her friends she was still alive. To this day, for some reason, I refer to it as ''PayPal'' :P 0 -

My mam will feel so vindicated when I show her this post! Everyone else kept telling her she was wrong! Yeah, she told me that the ''old Dolores'' (I don't remember one) was played by the Judith actress too, and that Eoghan was in it as a young fella, that used to wear glasses, and had a blonde younger sister called Claire or Karen - she's not too sure on the name. She also said their mam was a doctor who went out with Barry for a while. Is she right? 0 -

Spot on again
Yes, the Bowens were there in the first year. Dr Jennifer Bowen did go out with Barry. She had short red hair and she also turned up a few years later playing Seamus Mannion's wife Veronica. The actress was Frances Quinn.
The daughter was Clare Bowen.
There was also a grandfather - played by the bearded and irritating Kevin Flood.
