Ok I need some facts. How many rooms are in the Pod? How many people work there? Is it self catering? Is it really bang in the middle of a terrace of houses? Can anyone remember it's inception?
Rachel ran it single handedly no bother, even used it as a rave venue

Sephiroth_dude · 11-02-2018 08:55PM

Renee shut **** up! She really is some muppet!

Ajsoprano · 11-02-2018 08:58PM

I haven’t watched fair city in years but I bet one of the above is happening.

Paul is having an affair.
Dermot is having an affair.
Paul’s wife is having an affair.
Paul is trying to swindle someone out of property.
Somebody is trying to get their hands on the pub.
Somebody is blackmailing somebody about having an affair. Probably tommy Dillon

Funnily enough no!
Niamh left Paul.
Dermot went to jail.
The pub is fine.
No black mailing going on!

Mister Vain · 11-02-2018 08:59PM

Another stupid fall.

Mr.Crinklewood · 11-02-2018 09:00PM

With Emmet and Karen falling, Fair City could have their own version of the stations of the cross.

Bob has an expected visitor. Hope fully it's Shane!

Laura has a new woman called Lisa! Bob will be happy!

Andy From Sligo · 11-02-2018 09:33PM

couldn't help noticing an awful lot of the word "hey!" being used in tonight's episode .. didnt count but lets put it this way if I had a drink for everyone who said "Hi" i woold be dronk by niw ...

BellaMama · 11-02-2018 11:11PM

I know Carol has had her bad moments this year but Robbie's behaviour after sleeping with Aoife is beyond taking the p!ss. When Aoife turns up again, he is with her at every opportunity, being all best mateish and touchy feely, I am sorry that alone would be enough for me to lose the plot, avoid the woman you slept with at all costs - dont be going for runs with her, better still dont move her daughter in to your house, and even better still dont stick up for the mother/daughter against your wife at every single opportunity!!!

Ya totally agree, and called her a ejiet tonight, Karen tripped over a stool, that’s not Carols fault.

Andy From Sligo · 12-02-2018 12:11AM

Lurker to this thread but watching FC years.

If it was anyone else in the situation I'd agree but I don't know what it is about Carol but I feel like she doesn't deserve Robbie.

I wonder would Renee and Bob be up for having a double wedding with Kevin and Cristiano.(because there allowed to get married now!

Carol is very sensitive though. She can have affairs, and get drunk, hurl insults about Robbie not being Jacks real dad, kiss Dan etc etc. But she cant take anything similar done to her.

In a nutshell, she can dish it out but cant take it.

It's like the storyline with the transsexual, Ryan, it's as if it's a box ticking exercise that they're trying to get through as quickly as possible.

They (the writers/producers, that is) made a big deal about the soap having a trans character before Ryan made his debut.

Like most people, I imagine, I thought that Ryan would become a regular character and likeable.

Instead we got this horrible defensive, ''jump down your throat'' for nothing, miserable fella, who Jackie's mother used to know, then promptly vanished.

I thought they'd explore that backstory a bit more.

freshpopcorn · 12-02-2018 07:21PM

Somebody is back next week!

Jim

and to the best of my knowledge

they have a plan with Dr Oakley!

You mean Jackie new his/her mother.

Would go along with most of this. Cannot say whether I like or loath Carol. As a person, she can be brash and a hypocrite but she has brought some interesting stories into FC especially early on. We are at present seeing loud hypocrite Carol in typical form.

I was a H&A teen and always a Corrie viewer (my late gran wouldn't miss Corrie for anything) but got into watching the other soaps only a few years ago.

FC was one of those things I'd dip in and out of and it never really held my interest until a few short years ago until the comedy and craziness of it sadly hooked me - I mostly rely on my mam for background info on the history and the characters.

Even though I never liked Carol, I always thought she was one of those sorts that'd start an argument in an empty room, I've gone from '' ah no; not that yoke again'' to ''God! I hate that bloody Carol, I wish someone would launch her into outer space, or that she'd get axed from the soap in an unbelievable death scene.

Yep, that's what I meant - sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. I'd love to know a bit more about the calm, saintly Jackie's life before she came back, because she seems a bit too calm and full of sage advice to be true.

Apologies if someone has already said this before, because I haven't read all the comments yet.

(Had Wifi trouble yesterday, no internet

)

But I have a prediction of sorts:

Prediction:

Robbie takes Karen to A&E for an x-ray on the foot/ankle/leg she damaged when she fell in McCoy's.

Turns out that some crucial ligament/tendon is frigged and she can no longer be a dancer/teach dance, thus causing Aoife to return from London and wreck revenge on Carol.

Robbie leaves (hopefully) Carol for good, but before too long (provided she's still in one piece after Aoife's revenge, Carol hooks up with Spliiane/some other dodgy sort for real, and gets back in touch with her gangster pals....
