Still the funniest show every produced by RTE.

Deco gets hit by Wayne's car . And is alright, but then drops to the ground fakes in 'pain' like he is going to scam a claim of Wayne .... But that potential storyline goes no-where and stops in its tracks, and he just ends up discussing what a loser Wayne is for apparently cheating on his wife. That was a bizarre scene!

30-03-2018 11:52AM

None was concerned about ringing an ambulance last night

What was with Wayne ah the hole thing was hilarious and rubbish at the same time yet I keep watching

This whole storyline is bizarre. Wednesday's episode was so so weird, i really didn't understand what was happening. I realise now it was an attempt to set up characters for suspicion, but all they've done is make it ridiculous for anyone to be under serious scrutiny for a Whodunnit.

Karen did this to herself. Any other outcome is ridiculous.

Well, he did dial 112 and got distracted when Robbie arrived and so he ended the call. (that call will be on record too). Probably just panicked at that stage? No one knows how they might react to such a situation until they're in it I guess.

Your first instinct would be to call 999. If you want to start trying to think of a cover story or tell lies about the incident, fine, but you would call the ambulance first.

Of course this would give FC no opportunity for the whodunnit plot, so they had to have Wayne acting irrationally.

so, first of all he tries to cover for Orla ... but he decides to drive Karen to hospital.... it dont matter whether you get an ambulance out, or drive her to accident and emergency you are still going to be questioned, especially with a stab wound and if they dont believe you or feel you are lying about something and acting suspicious the hospital will (should) contact the Gadai - so either way he would have been stuffed

Indeed, and acting so weirdly and irrationally could put him in the frame for the stabbing, when he wasn't even present when she stabbed.

The groan that came out of Karen when Robbie was there and Wayne’s “I’ll be there in a minute love” was a great cover up

bazermc · 30-03-2018 05:06PM

I think it was Reverend Green with a knife in the Drawing room.

i think the training what robbie had in the Lebanon or wherever he was, should have detected that was a karen groan and not a orla groan, and then he should have rugby tackled waynes world on the floor and save the day like the hero muscleman of carriagstown that he is ....

Funniest part of last night's episode for me was Sean out drinking a few cans in the park, at midnight or after, on his own... as you do when your a sensible young man in your mid twenties.

This lovely March weather we've had, what could be nicer than drinking a few cans sitting on a park bench, -3C (windchill -10C).. Sean just 'chillin'.

Is Sean still living now alone in Sarah's house since Ama left

There gonna drag this story out for years lol......"Who dunnit"

I thought they had "done it" i.e made an episode that was good with a twist and then they ****ed it up,(i.e wayne's behaviour,makes no sense??)

Jesus the slagging ill get for giving a **** about this ****e opera lol.

I agree Wayne's behaviour made no sense - he is consistently portrayed as a bumbling idiotic sort. Anyone with any bit of gumption would have phoned an ambulance.

It seems obvious to me that Karen felt so depressed and rejected that she hated herself so much and killed herself after writing the word slut.

Yes, but done it where she done it and wrote the word "SLUT" in the hope it would frame Orla.

Wanderer2010 · 31-03-2018 04:22PM

It would be a brilliant shock if it turned out to be someone like Carol or Wayne but of course it wont be. That's the bane of most soap operas- mystery storylines that are like a whodunit always turns out to be the person who is in the soap the least.
Like Pat Phelan in Corrie- I mean, did anyone for a millisecond really think that it was going to be Eileen who died and not him?

freshpopcorn · 01-04-2018 07:32AM

A twist could be that it was Kevin!

No fair city tonight.

We were all horrified (yeah, right!) when Karen lay unconscious in Wayne 's kitchen, presumably having written 'Slut', in beautiful handwriting, with the last of her dying strength on the fridge (as you do).

Karen has become the latest victim of a huge rise in knife crime throughout the city. But at least her assailant is neat and tidy, and delivers a precise stab wound, which allows blood to soak through her dress but not onto her tights or shoes...
("Those shoes are Leboutin Flats, they cost a fortune in Browne Thomas's, and the tights are Pretty Polly Sheer Dennier, e8.99 a pair. I'm fcuked if I'm going to let them be ruined by a bit of ould ketchup ).

Having found her, stabbed and near death on his own kitchen floor, Wayne, being the gobsh*te he is, thinks to himself, "Will I call an ambulance? Ah no, sure me phone credit is low. ... I'll just whisk a sheet off me bed, lay her down on that, and drag her along the hallway, down the fourteen front steps, onto the cold pavement, into the back seat of me car, and take her to hospital meself. Sure them ould ambulances, with the oxygen tanks, emergency equipment and safety stretchers aren't near as snug as me own ould car. Far quicker and cheaper to do it meself. "

Then, after driving frantically for twenty minutes, while assuring Karen that " we're nearly there", it turns out that he's actually only driven fifteen yards from his own house, and only got as far asoutside McCoy's, where of course Decco steps out in front of him. Despite almost becoming another sad statistic of Ireland's roads massacre Decco still has time to get into a long, rambling conversation with Wayne, regarding road safety, the life-styles of their respective wives, and, for all we know, the possible outcome of the upcoming Referendum.

Karen, meanwhile, despite losing massive amounts of Heinz 57 Varieties, decides to herself, "Fcuk this, 'tis a fine night, I'm going for a stroll in the park," slips unnoticed from the car and staggers nonchalantly through the Bank Holiday crowds, enters the park looks for a clean, dry spot, and collapses, gently and modestly, to the ground.

Luckily, Wayne is able to put his panic and fears aside, and instead goes to the pub, where he sits at ease pwith the local doctor.
"Hmm, I wonder should I mention to the Doctor that there's a slip of a girl nearby, bleeding profusely from a stab wound,..... or should I have another drink? .... Fcuk it, gimme another pint there, and sure give Doctor Jim whatever he's having."

Over the years, with the grandkids, I've had to watch a fair few episodes of ''Bananas in Pyjamas, " Ben and Holly " and ''Daffy Duck", but for sheer entertainment and comedic value, Fair City beats them all.

Summer wind · 01-04-2018 05:22PM

So funny in the pub when everyone was so concerned about Karen being hurt and the DR just stood there looking like a candidate for a home for the bewildered with everyone else. Why didn't his training kick in and make him race to the park to see if he could help. Eoin was terrified of facing a huge prison sentence just because he bumped into his son. Imagine the prison term Wayne and orla would serve if the trench coated detective finds out the secret they share. They will never again see the light of day. May God have mercy on their souls.

Dr Okey Dokley killed Karen...

happyday · 01-04-2018 11:48PM

The only one they were missing in that park scene was Ciaran. Maybe he could have come back and killed Karen.

OMG it was like amature drama class.

Galwayguy35 · 02-04-2018 06:38PM

Just caught up on the last few episodes today.

When you think this show can't get any more ridiculous they give us Thursdays episode.

Wayne dragging Karen across the floor, driving off with her in the car and despite being at deaths door she goes for a walk in the park.

I think the writers have to be smoking ganja when they think up these storylines.
