State of Sean

Dolores giving her best bitch face to Melanie when she said no, jesus wept.

The 3 amigo's acting as cupid with Sean , Cringe!

Twisty neck Doug, Cluless!

Galwayguy35 · 13-09-2020 8:33pm

Nearly 5 mins of the episode talking about high heels!

God love the FC writers...

Ah damn my Sky series link didn't work. For some reason it's saying the next episode to record is next Thursday. I'll catch it on demand later.

You can watch it now on RTE+1..just started. My sky did the same, but I copped it in time to watch.

If the amount of people in the hungry pig actually bought something instead of yapping to Bob then he’d be coining it

Andy From Sligo · 13-09-2020 9:13pm

Sky+ done a blinder again with the EPG 'This is RTE one HD' instead of where Fair City was supposed to be , had to manually record because its broken the series link!

Denny61 · 13-09-2020 9:46pm

I think fair City has got to be the worst soap in these islands..the story lines are cringe inducing and woeful..the acting is pathetic....i gve this soap a year before its taken off..

Think I will just follow it on boards for a while.

If Melanie, Erica and Doug bought something every time they've been in The Pig, Bob's financial woes would be over.

I really feel the guy who plays Sean is just being himself now!

It’s going 30 years now..

Always poor, but right now and recently it’s the worst it has ever been...

I'm really glad fair city is back on our screens again,it almost feels like some kind of normality is coming back again. But the last 4 episodes have just been going around in circles, hopefully a few more of the cast start appearing and they can get some actual stories going.

jos28 · 14-09-2020 9:36am

I was away for a few days and hit record for FC. Came home and sat down to watch 3 episodes and starting fast forwarding the sh1te bits. Turns out that I only watched about 3 minutes of those 3 awful episodes.

I think in a few weeks we'll say goodbye to this lot of cast and we'll have Paul, the Collins, Carol, Jane, etc. Doing the same thing.

14-09-2020 12:56pm

They can't bring the Collinses back until they sort out that tiny couch and kitchen table.

CollyFlower · 14-09-2020 1:11pm

It's really bad, you'd think with all the time the writers had in lockdown that they'd come up with something better.

thesultan · 14-09-2020 1:18pm

Any sign of the rest of the cast

jippo nolan · 14-09-2020 1:32pm

I think I’ve had my fill of Seán mincing around the street!

sligojoek · 14-09-2020 1:43pm

I haven't watched it since last year. Had a look last night to see what it was like since the restart. I lasted 10 minutes. Why would you bother? Plenty of better made more entertaining stuff on other channels.

LordBasil · 14-09-2020 2:50pm

They should have picked up with some of the storylines from just before lockdown and see how they progressed while FC was off-screen;

Carole and that Priest - did they grow closer since April? Did Killo recover fully from his overdose?

Troy's secretive behaviour regarding his partner - did his bf visit/stay or did Troy go back to London

Sash and Orla's baby drama - did Orla pine for the baby during lockdown causing tension with Sash & Wayne?

Ger's war with Sharon - has lockdown made them re-evaluate their feud?

I hope these are addressed in the coming weeks. I would have preferred these storyline's over dancing and Doug and Erica's squabbling.

If they could only bring back around 15 characters I would have had;

Bob
Renee
Dolores
Wayne
Orla
Sash
Ger
Sharon
Hayley
Will
Bronagh
Carole
Priest Guy (Can't remember his name)
Dean
Paul

Flowergirl201 · 14-09-2020 3:04pm

Even Dolores hasn't mention orlas girl baby. Or junior for that matter. And we have seen plenty of pete and plenty of Delores but I don't remember seeing them together, has lockdown split them up?

Agreed..

I decided to watch a few episodes for first time in a few years, just to see how bad they’d handle Covid. They have not let me down. Utterly atrocious programme, and so bad now, that even a thread like this, where we all had great craic ripping the piss, is now dead, really...

How I miss stories like: the plan, Junior’s ear infection, Louise’s “where’s me money,” the bistros chopping tomatoes, Caddle and Greasy and Wheelchair Dan’s love triangle, and of course, the never fooking ending Katie in a box......those were the days!!

I’m out now. No more!!

Suuusssh....... they'll hear you!!!

If the writers are watching we'll have Ciaran renting out multiple containers, kidnapping the entire cast and putting them in said containers.

Social distancing sorted.

threetrees · 14-09-2020 9:12pm

There's basically 4 "stories":

Bob's broke,
Dancing in the street,
Doug and Erica are fighting (good excuse for social distancing, they can't be loved up)
Will has turned over a new leaf, or has he?

I think we can expect 4 new stories in a couple of weeks from another Pod of actors, (pod pun intended).

I hate to put FC down but it really is awful.

At least Renee is gone

Gone for now, she will be back, wailing and shouting at Bob.
Has Ellie been seen since she went to the gaeltacht summer last year?

Hopefully she’ll be hit on the head with a golf ball in Clifden.

I’m fairly sure Ellie has been in it since last year.
If my memory is correct she had a party that Bob and Renee went out for and she just talked to her friends online.
