    Is Oakley part of an ISIS type terrorist group? Did I miss something or is this what the threat is about Shane? That some Somalian terrorist will kill him for 1000?

    Something along those lines, yes. Maybe Oakley is meant to be part of some sinister international outfit rather than a lone wolf? That's what the solicitor seemed to be alluding to.

    Would Karen ever shut up moaning and the same goes for shouty Paul, shouting down the whole street.

    It's really bad. The solicitor is hilarious.

    The Oakley storyline is getting beyond far fetched at this stage, Oakley played a good role in Phoenix Way and the hostage seige, but this is just random and stupid and i find myself disengaging now when the characters are on. I actually think Jim seems like a good character and the actor is good - surely he could be used in a better way.

    And yes the solicitor is hilarious, she is all knowing/shifty looks and glances, as she swishes in and out of rooms! :D

    Why does Paul pick on Oisin but not Calum?

    I think both Oakley and Jim are great characters but the stories they have at the moment does nothing for them.

    Yes I agree, with Oakley maybe they could have done more of him still manipulating Emmet until he cracked, or even a prison storyline (prisoner cell block O!) but the current storyline is woeful!

    And yes I like Jim, i didnt watch when he was on last time, but he seems like a good character :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,743 ✭✭✭Wanderer2010


    Im glad the cult storyline still exists in some form but they could have paced it better, maybe have Jim befriend Manson and slowly gain her trust until it was revealed he was trying to make her go crazy, instead of just introducing Jim and then a week or so later have the whole plot spill out over a few episodes of frantic phone calls and jail visits. Too fast!

    Between unrest on the Somalian border and the revelation that you can get anything on the streets this episode had me in absolute stitches.

    Claire McSweeney is hilarious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭Gadgetman496


    Claire McSweeney waits for a red weather alert warning and then ditches the trench coat!

    On Tuesday, Paul was demanding Dean take Oisín as part of the deal because he's good with the admin and PR etc. Two days later, Paul tells Dean that Oisín is a waste of space essentially and "it's not a business, SUN, IT'S A SHAMBLES."

    How many visits per week is a prisoner allowed? Yesterday, Jim was there with Claire. Now correct me if I'm wrong but Claire is Oakley's solicitor and wouldn't the prison officers think it was a bit strange that Claire was appearing with a random visitor when she should be able to meet with Oakley privately? As in not in an open visiting area.

    Oakley asked the prison officer that opened the gate to the visiting area how his son was doing. You can be sure he has him in his pocket too.

    Aoife is acting like Karen is a 3 year-old instead of 23. She's a grown woman. She can do what she wants. Work at the gym, be friendly with Carol, date whoever. The over protective mother stuff is getting old really fast.

    When Pete and Will were in The Hungry Pig the music was ridiculously loud. Bob was playing musical statues. :p

    Yet again Joakely's got a great gig going on in prison, visitors left, right and centre. Also how does he have so many contacts, didn't exactly strike me as Mr. Charisma but regardless the only thing that made me go huh? was when McSweeney said all the years in the Phoenix way gave him loads of influence. The phoenix way had about ten members max in Carrigstown but now the writers are acting as if its some major organisation. The so-called HQ in Poland was all we heard about it but aside from that it was almost non-existent.

    Oh also... How in God's name does Joakely get a mobile phone?? He's on trial for double homicide and kidnapping for fecks sake!

    Other than that Aoife's getting her just desserts and for once I'm not utterly hating Carol. I just hope the poisoning of Miriam isn't going to be a rip-off of the two Heather poisoning Ellie story lines, that would be majorly disappointing.

    When I heard Ronan left Dolores a large sum of money I was thinking would she give Wayne her online banking codes.

    So Dolores sits with a dying man for 5 mins and her marriage is in trouble. What is that all about? Strange storyline. Felt like I missed a scene where something happened between her and ronan.

    It was kind of strange hopefully Dolores might go off with the carer.

    Curious about this myself. I was thinking that maybe she was playing along a bit to give a dying man some respite.

    because Calum isn't a devious little swine.
