Dean to get shot again🙈

It could be anyone, the child etc. Maybe a lifer like Geoff Minogue wants to leave.

If Dean and Mairead are ok it will be hard for them to tell Damo now.

Tyler is safe anyway. What time will he get for arson… James is having fun with his threesome talk but Tyler's going to reveal the dirt on him.

.. reminds me of this guy..

It'd tie things nicely if Damo get shot and killed. But I'm sure that won't happen. Maybe Dolly will get shot or Gwen if she returns for something and barges in.

I don't get the card An Eye for an Eye. Wonder will that ever reveal itself.

Just watched it, as I said he probably drove up and back. How he got a gun and why is up to the writers to try to explain. Tyler has to go back to prison for the arson since he's only out a while ago. To be honest i'm going to bow out of the thread because the script writing is just too bad.

Yes that's what i meant by the convenient car switch or backroads taken. Wasnt he lucky that the guards only checked Laura's brothers cars for tolls but neither of her sisters in laws

I'd say Damo will pair up with Mark's wife when Mairead leaves him. Ready made family for him there to be a father figure to Oliver. Everybody wins....except Elaine and Oliver.

Good spot everyone who said Mark. What a rubbish end to a storyline that lasted so long.

It was good to see a gun back in Carrickstown last night, it has been a while 😁

Ya was it Dr Oakley with the red (flare/nerf) the last gun to appear in it? It has to be the worst whodunnit reveal ever with Mark.

Maybe he was going to use it on himself if the guilt got too much on the anniversary? Or maybe use it on Tyler when he heard the Gardai still hadn't fully pinned Laura's murder on him. If Tyler got out on bail he could shoot him, claim insanity by grief and possibly get a very light sentence considering Tyler the lunatic did try to kill Mark's brother Damo and tormented and blackmailed his sister in law Mairead and his mother figure Dolly. I doubt the writers will bother to include any of those kind of motives/nuances into the plot though and we'll have to use our imagination as to how, when and where he got the gun, who he got it from and why he got it, the same way we were left to fill in the blanks of Carol's escape from her kidnapping ordeal. The writers should probably have followed the Chekov's gun principle and shown the gun in maybe Elaine or Mark's luggage a couple of episodes ago instead of it randomly emerging from the arse of Mark's jeans.

Ridiculous that he had the gun tucked into the waist band of his jeans while out for a family lunch though. Regardless of who he was planning on using it on, mid day in the pub isn't really the ideal time and place for it.

Does anyone remember what the craic is with the murder weapon? Mark said Laira cracked her head of the kerb when he shoved her and she fell, but a few months back Tyler fed the gardai via James a story about fake murder weapon in some derelict building/ruins. And then they were talking about how it couldn't be the murder weapon because of some of its characteristics werent consistent with what the expected shape and size of the murder weapon should be? But now there was no murder weapon except for gravity and the city/county council's footpath? So Laura wasn't killed by blunt weapon? The pathologist must have been crap to not be able to determine the cause of death as being a fall? I'm not expert but I would have thought a head injury from a fall would be distinguishable from a head injury caused by a blunt instrument/weapon.

And what will hopefully be my last musing on the subject before I give up the ghost on pondering the logic of this ludicrous plot: if Laura's death was the result of a fall, why didnt Mark just call an ambulance and say she tripped and smacked her head off the pavement? Again, it's dark and its winter and there was obviously no CCTV in the area. I don't think anyone would not belive him. Itd just seem like a freak tragedy. But there'd have been no motive to kill her that anyone would have been aware of, it'd look like a family celebration that turned to tragedy.

He had his wits about him to somehow find a shovel and bring her to the park with out being seen and dig a shallow grave, put her in it, fill it in, get rid of his clothes at some point and head back to Galway and carry on for several months like nothing happened. Wouldn't a lie that's very close to the truth just have been so much easier?

Don't think it was meant to be his last episode. Had to leave soap suddenly due to health reasons.

he needs Imodium…

I would have preferred it to have been McCabe ….. but I guess Mark could leave the note ….. I suppose he could run after and scare Zoe too for the same reason ….. to let people believe a serial killer/pervert is on the loose to divert attention away from him and to a randomer …..

I read the actor who plays Damian was not well in real life for a while …. hope he is ok now …
