Haha they do that a lot probably to get people to watch it as they then think something actually exciting will happen when we all know it won't :rolleyes:.

I found it good Tonight when Bob said The Pod was a stupid name!

Presumably it was to warn viewers of Damien's big hairy legs.

Renee was complimented on her lovely dinner that nobody seemed to have eaten...plenty of leftovers there. But good to see someone actually spend time in their house for a change.

As someone said the ending was weird. Maybe they read on here about how their suspenseful scenes before breaks and credits were rubbish and so decided not to even try..it was like someone cut an episode short cause they reached their time.

How about No handbags for life!

I think that would upset her more than if Carrigstown re-introduced the death penalty!

Ah, effin' hell; why is it Carol that seems to be on course to becoming Sexy Cop Steve's new GF :mad: Could she just not fall head over heels for Cass or Charlie or something???

Which is why Carol was seen ambling through the Garda station the last day - gearing up for that which I believe will be a short lived romance between Carol and Steve .

Much as I love Steve, I think he might be a bit of a Tommy Dillon type and already has another one - if not two - on the go, hence the references to the ex wife, I imagine he's a naughty fella and their marriage didn't end on the most amicable of terms...

However, I think Steve and Carol is just (sadly) again, a ploy to get Robbie and Carol back together.

First of all, the cracks are starting to show in Robbie and Aoife's relationship because he just doesn't know how to help her, and the Carol and Steve thing will likely end with one of Carol's famous skanger rants and she'll end up being consoled, once she finds out about Steve's other woman - probably for shock effect, the other GF will be a regular character but has probably been more or less either off screen or flying under the radar for a while....(my guess is Jane, because didn't she say she was out on a date that night, which is more than likely why Carol was questioned as steve knew that Jane was with him)

Hence Carol and Robbie getting back together, and Aoife possibly finding comfort with someone completely unexpected.....

Just my tuppence worth anyway.... I could and have been wrong before, but the Carol and Robbie reunion is sort of inevitable, much as I don't want it to be - and naturally, I don't want her with Steve either! :P

And I have a feeling too, hence the strange ending, that Jim is going to go all impulsive and ask Miriam to marry him, then if that's the case, we'll have Bob moping and whinging for ages saying how Jim is trying to steal his limeight!

Orla stealing Ruth's birth certificate? Hello? Anyone can apply for a copy of a birth certificate from the General Register Office.....you don't need to be related or connected to the person, they are public records

I think Niamh could get one posted to her by applying online.

Probably why the viewer discretion is advised thing came up in case they did show the five aside match.... Because a sweaty, unfit hairy legged Damo would be ten times more shocking than Karen's murder so they decided to pull the scene at the last minute :P

I just thought Kerri-Ann was always going around with a handbag maybe it's always being fully of weapons to murder people.

God! Never thought of it that way before, but maybe she does.... More than likely (it's FC, why not push things to the limits - we have her for a pointless, avoidable murder based on hypocritical jealousy, now lets find all sort of weird shenanigans she's been getting up to right under everyone's nose - at least the writers/producers will see it that way)

I think re the handbag situation Deegan will show up a the Bishops' one day, or better still he'll just tell Decco, Sash and Charlotte in the pub (because all private meetings are best held in public places, Spar, the Station, McCoys/Vinos/Hungry Pig and the Community Centre, so why the hell not, at least it'll save a bit of time) He'll offer to buy them a drink then casually mention that ''we found that Kerri-Ann's been buying a lot off Ebay and other online sites, after we seized her laptop (even though we never saw them do this) from particular sites based in China that sell fake designer handbags and replicas of weapons used by the most infamous serial killers of all time.''

Natually Decco will get all defensive, then Deegan will inform them of how she confessed to this herself, that she genuinely believed that she'd blown a fortune on what she thought was Jack the Ripper's big black bag full of all his 19th century surgical equipment, and that she always carried various ''murder weapons'' around in her manifold rip off handbags just in case she ever met anyone she felt like murdering, because it had been on her bucket list, right above ''hatching my own Dragon eggs in fire'' because she genuinely believes that Game of Thrones is the serialisation of genuine historical events, and below ''becoming an astronaut'' because ''Star Wars was so great and she wanted to meet Princess Leia in person to ask her where she bought her infamous outfit so she could have one just like it''.

Decco will be more peed off at that point when Deegan reveals the exact amount that KA spent on these false items.

Decco: ''Jaysus! And there was I working every hour of the day and night, carrying dodgy parcels for Cathal Spillane and this was what she did to my money! I was trying to save for bleeding IVF in case we'd need it! This is it - I'm never having her back now!''

Sash: ''No wonder she half lost it with me if she's been carrying those thing s around in those handbags. When I asked to borrow one for a night out, she literally - and thank God it was literally - nearly ripped the head off me, then put it down to hormones when she apologised, then told me of how her favourite nana had left her that bag in her will and she'd never part with it.''

Decco (almost crying now, head in hands) ''This is the final bleedin' insult! All that money wasted on rip off crap!''
Deegan sympathetically squeezes his shoulder and beckons Orla over to get Decco a double brandy then says: ''Don't beat yourself up over this Decco, we've all been duped in the past, Angela was the only decent woman I ever met and they killed her off just when we were becoming a proper couple.... But the rest of them were soul sucking opportunists'' Completely ignoring the fact that Decco had just confessed that he'd been delivering illegal parcels, because as we all know, Deegan is a great cop!
Charlotte: (a great opportunist herself) ''We all need something much stronger and much more expensive, and something to cheer us up too.''
A bit embarrassed for forgetting Sash and Charlotte, Deegan asks Orla to give Sash and Charlotte whatever they want which turns out to be a pricey bottle of champers.
After Deegan leaves, Charlotte announces to no one in particular. Charlotte: ''All those weapons at her disposal and she ends up using Wayne Molloy's screwdriver when she committed an actual murder, and probably had all sorts in that little bag of hers.'''
Sash: ''Unbelievable, who'd have thought those tiny bags could hold so much.......'

MsWesterosi · 23-05-2018 07:54AM

If Jim proposes to Miriam in a whirlwind, then they'd best avoid having a double wedding with Bob and Renee.

Because as we know, double weddings don't have a great track record for the survival of a marriage.

The last double wedding ended in marriage break ups, both inadvertantly caused by a young red haired woman.

So, if they do decide on a double wedding, they'd best avoid red haired girls in future, which will be sort of hard, as Jim is a doctor and has to treat every patient that books an appointment, Bob owns a greasy spoon, and one of the customers will likely be a female redhead, Miriam loves helping people, so she won't be able to resist lending a sympathetic ear to any vulnerable redhead who might stumble across her path (hopefully not already dying and covered in blood) And as for Renee.... Well, she's just a nosy, interfering cow anyway! :P

If he had his way The Pod would change to The Fleapit or something

LollipopJimmy · 23-05-2018 03:38PM

I have to say I really like Bob and Jim sharing scenes. They are both good actors in their own right. Although a few of the cast are but it's the storyline and direction that's awful

Are they angling to bring Niamh back with this seemingly pointless Ruthie story?

Any story with Ruthie at the centre of it is NOT pointless. That young wan is the best actor on the show.

They always look empty to me. You'd imagine it should be a ton weight full of all that make-up she plasters on.

Aoife was just on the phone and her face was lit up by the screen. You could also see the icons on her home screen. While a person is on a call the proximity sensor blanks the screen so the face or ear won't start kicking off apps. The fact that the light was on and the icons could be seen meant she could not have been on a call. Another example of the carelessness on this show.

Ruths birth cert..which as other posters stated can easily be applied for online by Niamh or Orla. More silly storylines.

That was actually embarrassing. No hiding that it was just her home screen.

I must admit I like Jim in particular. Sometimes Fair City can actually do comedy reasonably well. They should have more stuff like that in it.

So Niamh wants Ruthie now, how long has she been gone and abandoned her "plan" to fleece Paul and take the child plus why is Wayne and Orla helping her, Orla could have died in the garage fire :rolleyes:

That really annoys me. Happens on a few soaps but often happens on FC. All you have to do is lock the screen to darken it and give the effect that you're on a call. So sloppy.
