From what I can remember, Jackie has a history of mental illness and/or abused drugs or alcohol or something. She nearly killed Doug and his brother Neil when they were kids. It was brought up when she came into the soap - probably before you joined us here at FC Anonymous. 0 -
Love if karen and robbie hooked up!!
That would be sort of ironic - seeing as Carol believed that Karen was after Robbie in the first place, when she just thought he was her real father, and that would more or less bring the whole story full circle.
If it was EE or Corrie it might raise an eyebrow or two, but FC viewers (or at least the crowd who take it seriously) would go apes***!
It'd be also a bit comic in a way, the FC writers are that crazy and infantile that they'd have Aoife and Carol teaming up to have revenge on Robbie - Aoife out of mixed up jealousy and because he ''took advantage'' of her daughter (and chose her over herself) and Carol because....well... she's Carol and it's all about the revenge with her...
If I'm honest, I have to say it would be interesting, even though I'm for an Aoife/Robbie reunion, I wouldn't exactly be against Robbie and Karen, even though the fC neighbours, Orla et all, would be out in droves wanting to attack them with pitchforks whilst carrying torches or something similar! I think I'm just team Anyone But Carol for Robbie! 0 -

I wonder if they'll go down the Emma Barton from Emmerdale route with her; she tried to kill Ross owing to mental illness when he was a baby too....
Then end up (Jackie that is) manipulating a person with dementia who finds out some dark secret about her (Rose, if they've still remembered that she's showing signs of the disease) then causes all sorts of havoc before going mad into the religion,quoting the bible, then meeting a grisly end in a whodunnit episode.....
But could FC really handle a storyline like that....
By the way, Oakley would have to have a part in the whole plot too :P That'd be more like it, more FairCityish!:P 0 -

Who would she push of the bridge when all of Carrigstown residents are driving into town whilst fighting and not looking at the road!0 -

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 aftr Aoife's revenge, Carol hooks up with Spliiane/some other dodgy sort for real, and gets back in touch with her gangster pals....
Cathal Spillane would be Carol's type. Carol in the early days was attracted very much to men like him and worse than him. Think Billy and Sylvester and dodgy solicitor Anthony. When they changed her into a more posh character who was a mayor and had regular men like Louis and Christy as boyfriends, her character became less interesting. It is time to bring Carol back to her roots. Team her up with Cathal and bring her back into the world of gangland. Perhaps reintroduce the likes of Anthony, Sylvester and Mick too.0 -

I think it's to counterbalance the Harmony/Eimear's terrible personality!
Maybe they'll bring more of Hayley's family in to it, because she rang a brother we've never heard of before called ''Lee'' the last night.
Maybe we'll discover that Hayley is the decent one who just puts on that b****y/hard as nails exterior in order to make something of herself, because she had to step up and more or less be the 'sensible'' money maker of the family as the rest of them were good for nothing dossers and she had a lot of responsibility placed on her when she was younger and expectations by the parents because the others always needed helping out/no money/pie in the sky ambitions leading nowhere, etc. 0 -

Pete of course! Even though she's been showing no signs of it, she's desperate to get him back, God knows why though, but in FC nothing makes sense! :P (Hughie is just there to make auld grumpy drawers jealous! And she's just biding her time until Dolores gets sick of him and runs off with a miraculously cured Ronan so she can get her claws back in there! :P
I don't think anyone would miss Pete if Jackie chuked him off a bridge in a bloodied wedding dress with Oakley cheering on/encouraging her in the background!0 -

Knowing how fond Pete is of jumping the gun, I'd say a mountain was made outta a molehill in relation to her illness and he banished poor Jackie from the family home. Remember how defensive he was when she first arrived in Carrickstown.
He should have looked after Jackie not alienate her back then. The were a young married couple with two young boys, who needed their mother. She was having problems, he added to them by not looking out for her.
He mustn't have loved her very much if he let her loose to wander life on her own and cope with her illness on her own.0 -

You're more than likely right. But still someone obsessing over Pete to the point where they'd commit murder would be pure black comedy!
Do you remember the time when he basically made Jake out to be this really abusive person when himself (Jake) and Ama were having a normal arugment - Jake just raised his voice and interfering Pete made out like he'd just attacked her or something.
Then he took it to a whole new level and became borderline racist too!
And then there was the whole craic about his ''pride'' and wanting to get bank loans so he could start his own business, etc, and his constant falling out with Damo - I felt sorry for Damo at the time because Pete was taking offence left right and centre, God! But everyone was treading on eggshells around him at the time. Pete is another character I'd like to consign to the scrapheap (bring back Oakley! :P)0 -

Hope this is not too off topic, but I've been here for a few months now, and I have to say I'm enjoying this thread.
Everyone here (apart from the odd troll who might drop by from time to time) is dead sound and doesn't take the soap too seriously.
It's nice to be part of something where you can disagree about whether or not you like a storyline/character, but not take the difference of opinion seriously, or fall out with the other person.
I think it should be an example to all other foums and how they should be moderated/run.
I've been a member of some forums where, although there were some decent people, the majority were absolutely hateful if you didn't agree with them and really abusive with it, and the moderaters and admins were next to useless. But I love it here, everyone is nice and
friendly - even if we do disagree over storylines or characters, it's like having a chat with a gang of mates.
So, thanks guys for cheering me up over the last few months, and before when I was only a lurker who just liked to read the posts. . 0 -

Is Jim also part of Phoenix Way
From what I remember, he was a decent skin, I haven't mastered the spoiler thing, so I don't want to give anything away, but he was a no nonsense down to earth blunt speaking character, not the airy fairy/controlling sort. I liked him, if it's the same person I'm thinking about.
Then again, it is FC and he could have had a major personality overhall...... :pac:0 -
