Fair City [News, Spoilers and Discussion v9] Read Post #1 Before Contributing

Right; just catching up with Wednesdays Fair City; Phoebe said something about lending Alex (who, going by this thread we don't get to see til Sundays episode?) a book on Hamilton.......er, are they/is he a band or something?

The Bodhrán? First time Mairead's ever been seen with it I' m guessing? Let's just throw this in there to create a scene & some lines will we scriptwriters?

Leo & Ger in the cab; at the cab office after her getting into it to go off; basically hasn't left the spot it was in. Then Leo goes off on a job while he's supposed, I presume, to be on the meter/clock? We all know how that's gonna end especially when she's left her stuff in the back.....

Sasha trying get baby asleep...in the Community Centre????

Dolores trying to sell a car without beng an employee & giving the potential buyer her mobile number?

The OCD storyline which is coming to the fore in the episode I'm currently watching is very good though; I'd hate to have it to any extent but Maireads is bad enough to watch.; if they do this right it's got potential; "if" and "potential" being important there....

Get it spot on & it's proper public service broadcasting much like a domestic violence storyline which they've done in the past on a number of occasions (Tess & Marty, Suzanne & Damien to name two; I'm sure there's others).

Already Will is manipulating the situation which is a good part of the storyline; he's going to isolate her from Damien who she actually needs & he's doing this when she's vulnerable.

Dear FC; please, please, please get this right....we're probably looking at coercive control too if this is not done on a short term basis like the Paul/gaslighting one was.

I think the OCD storyline would have worked better if it had started immediately after they came back, instead of having those few weeks of Mairead stalking Sean and hassling him about dancing and his love life and then the bizarre horse racing thing.

I don’t think a soap can ever portray an ocd storyline accurately, u would have that condition for years. And they are not going to do that. That’s a very difficult condition to treat, think ur man David Beckham has it.

So she has an Armenian parent or something?

Ya mother is Armenian, think Alex’s dad is too but he’s not around.

The actress that plays Melanie comes across as lovely though in real life, very positive upbeat person, completely different to her character.

That’s what I took from seeing her on that travel show with Mondo.

The scriptwriters are really stretching reality for this storyline just a tad.

First of all what taxi driver decides to take another fare when his passenger has just dropped in for a cup of coffee and a quick bite to eat? When fares are like hens teeth during this pandemic Leo should have been licking his lips with the meter running waiting for Jer to come back. So he would have had to knock the meter off for his new fare and restart it for them and what would he say to Jer about the meter when he got back to her on the very slim chance he'd get back in time?

Then Jer leaves her top secret money lending coded notepad on the back seat open on the exact page. Did she study codeing in gangster school or where did she learn this masterful skill?

Then of all the guards in all the garda stations in Dublin the notepad ends up in Yates hands in jigtime. Why did Leo's second passenger even take the notepad with them and not just give it to the driver? It's not a wallet or a phone that may be of any value so thats not going to happen. If only the Carriage Office operated so fast in returning lost items from taxi's.

Do the guards study decoding gangster diaries in Templemore because Yates had it broken down with all the ease of Colombo cracking another murder case.

Just another insanely nonsensical plotline that's gripping just to see how bizarre it really can go.

That would make Pete a cowboy

Hoarding? But Máiréad is obsessed with cleanliness.

Melanie is on about Armenia again!

It’s a wonder she didn’t mention the war with Azerbaijan they had recently.

ah here now - interviewing in a community centre and using name out allowed like that come on, who writes this!

Bleeding brutal script and story’s

The Orla Sash war for Dolly is awful

Is this Danny Wacker, Hayley's real daddy?

Carol has no mask on while snarling and nearly spraying spit into the cops face and puts it on when she is leaving to go outside.

McCabe has the same rank as Yates - so how is she Yates's boss?
