    So Dan is officially dead. This was inevitable with years. What can one say about him? He came into it a few years ago as a non-eventful run of the mill character who was the new publican. He was then a love interest for Carol and then he had another woman called Sally. He was Robbie's friend, and ex army. Then, he is left paralysed and there is the story of his depression during his adaptation to his new life and a trying it on with his nurse. Then, he participates in what was one of the worst and most annoying storylines ever. The Condors basketball episode was annoyingly sandwiched between parts of the Cathal/Flynn/Ballyntine story. Since then, he was up to not much until they brought in Aoife and Karen. He then became a rapist and became hated, then became a hero and became loved again by all except Robbie and Aoife.

    I think it was the right call to get rid of this character as he was going nowhere. Ama is no loss either as her character had become pointless too. Kerrie Ann next please. All these characters need to get a makeover or else be gone. The poorer episodes of FC tend to have a top heavy dose of characters like these 3 because there is nothing much that can be done with them it would seem.

    There is a chance now to improve the Emmett character. So far, he has been shown as reckless and not smart and easily taken in. I think a full prisoner not coping very well story could be good. Maybe Dermot could be brought back too. They improved his character last year. Damian is another character they could exploit. I think he has always been a very angry and controlling individual with something clearly wrong in his makeup. It is time to take this further.

    Don't forget Carol- another waste of space and completely redundant character. The whole Billy Meehan thing was 17 YEARS ago by this stage and she is still banging the whole rough upbringing card, its completely played out. Its not even realistic that someone like Carol with her business mind and so many bad memories locally would choose to hang around. The sooner she is sacked the better, they have literally nothing left for her.

    Hayley's sister Harmoney shows up next week and Callum ends up flirting with her. Jane is also back on the scene and I think she's running the launderette!

    'Haley and Harmoney live together in perfect harmony
    Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why don't we?'

    Sorry just reminds me of Ebony and Ivory :D

    Not far wrong though. I think the actress lucked out that they hooked her up with Karl Shields who adds a bit if value

    Any clip i see of Amy Huberman and she appears to have one acting default position, namely intense mode. Nothing else.

    Is this lad Ray Darcy's taller younger brother? The celebrant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,720 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Wouldn’t it be gas crack if Wheelie Dan mustered up one last breath to say, “Caddle, I love ya.”


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,504 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Hopefully Damien will have the brick to hit you with Caoimhe when he'll meet you alone!

    Carol as always, the victim. Story that has nothing to do with her.
