Fair City [News, Spoilers and Discussion v10] Read Post #1 Before Contributing

Mairead got a job which required a lot of training that she was exhausted from. It would make sense that it was a Lidl managerial job as they do internships, not quite the right age profile but the logic is correct.

Rene on the other hand waltzed into the manager job which is completely outside the age profile and training for Lidl

I think Mairead is going to be an area manager and will kick Rene's backside when she sees how things are being run.

Watch this space.

Renee as the store manager of a new branch is bonkers. She's way too old to be a new hire into a newly created position (and had been working in Spar as a shop assistant) - no way would she be given the job ahead of a load of new graduates seeking entry into a managerial position.

Caught up a bit tonight - shite about boules,a spoon,a locket,an SD card and Dean who was in Lidl about ten times on the same day,Who comes up with this drivel???🤔

There's a heap of characters MIA at the moment.

Where are Jess and Greg while all this stall craic is happening with the Mullens? Also is Charlene ever coming back? They seemed to be building her up to be a main character and then she vanished.

Where has Zoe gotten to while all this garage corruption is going on? Did she go on the holiday Paul promised her? You'd think she be the best for eavesdropping on everyone plot device wise while she lurks outside the garage on her courier bike.

Have we seen the last of Mark, Tyler and Ciaran in the slammer?

Where is Ellie? Did she go back to Brazil offscreen? Where is Alex in that case since he had the hots for her?

Has Leo or Ray or Nora mentioned that Bosco has moved out? Or has he been scrubbed from Carrigstown's collective memory?

Are Melanie and Jess going to bother working from the shared office? They can't stand each other and if Joan is working remotely there's no need for them to be in the office. Its not like either can actually advise clients so they can surely do the paperwork at home.

Lastly where is Fergal? Him and Jacinta really should have been there to wish Liam well on his travels. I'd imagine broadminded Fergal would love to stay in touch and hear all about the culture over there.

Mairead and Dean are like a pair of teenagers trying to have a sneaky shift when they think nobody is looking.

Umm Renee, wasn't your daughter's most successful book a metaphor for shagging her own brother? 😬

Probably not the type of thing you should be bragging about to your neighbours 🙄

There was a great opportunity here to introduce a new character as store manager. Both Mairead and Renee should be on the checkouts. In the real world neither of them would have waltzed into a management role in Lidl.

Well, this is the same reality where Hayley was headhunted by some employer based in Dubai who wouldn't take no for an answer and insisted they wanted her despite her turning it down at one stage and mulling it over for weeks before changing her mind and they still kept the role open for her. Apparently her years of experience running a pub and then squandering a million on a failed building development were very desirable lines on the CV. The cherry on top must have been her being a person of interest in an active arson case at the time.

Joan is also apparently the best person qualified to work an Irish man's criminal fraud case in Canada because she worked there for a little while when she was young. All the other Canadian solicitors that have been practicing there their whole lives just don't cut it.

Lidl are certainly getting their moneys worth with the amount of scenes being filmed in the store. As for Renee , would ya ever go take a long running jump.

Renee must be one of the highest paid actors in the soap. She's in alot of storylines as the nosey, annoying neighbour.

I like her as a character, but sometimes it's a bit tedious. Like this book club story - Renee taking over again! - rinse and repeat. In another few weeks she'll be involved in something else annoying everybody again.

perhaps Tommy could pass off Lidl “ produce” as his own 😉
