    Yeah the writers must be gutted Joan left. She'd have been able to have all her client meetings in the fruit and veg section of Lidl instead of the community centre, the Pig, the Station or McCoys 🤣

    Yes I thought maybe him doing it to Jess or Greg, when did Greg and him become pals

    Very little stock in the antiques shop. Looks like a regular old persons house.

    I wonder do they have 50 extras for the launch party?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭Otis Hill


    What is this tripe with Sean and the penny pinching? I mean he really can't be offended, the sh!te talking he's doing he should know he'd be a laughing stock.

    And poor Cass isnt exactly spry why won't they let him have a shower that's longer than 3 mins.

    Just for a laugh they should do a pregnancy scare storyline for Sean because he cheaped out and bought his condoms on Temu



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,885 ✭✭✭littlevillage


    The producers/writers must really hate Sean as they give him the most scutter storylines (and for Fair City that's really saying something 😂😂)

    What's the story with Babs wanting to be a Garda all of a sudden?

    She was happy out being a traffic warden but then after an incident and her reacting to it. It was a terrible job and she didn't want the hassle of anymore.

    Then she became a taxi driver.

    Now, she wants to be a Garda. She's never shown any interest in it before and she came out with a line like this. " I want a job where people respect me." Wouldn't she have a lot more hassle than being a traffic warden. It's like it's some poor attempt to get more mature people to join the Gardai.

    Maybe there'll be a plot twist and she'll actually get the commissioner job in September 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,676 ✭✭✭Alice1


    Is there something brewing between Babs and Gar? I mean Victor is being a prat and she seems to be all in to the fitness thing at the gym. Just wondering

    2 career changes in a few months is daft. No doubt it’s to introduce a storyline; something with Garda Fidelma or that other young new Garda; all so rushed

    the Lidl scenes are stupid; like literally half the cast of FC in Lidl at any one time. What’s the chances of a young lad like Lorcan being in Lidl twice in one day…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,011 ✭✭✭Deeec


    I think it's just a storyline introduced for Babs to create friction with Victor. There will be very little mention of joining the guards from now on. Shes on a mission now to show Vic she's still got it!

    I'm kind of done with Babs and Vic - I wish they were moved on. I don't think they have anything to offer anymore.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,011 ✭✭✭Deeec


    I agree - it's tedious. I go to Lidl once a week. I would go even less if I could. Do people really drop into Lidl everyday or a few times per day - I doubt it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭Photobox


    It's overkill , Ger and Sharon were in there twice yesterday.. before and after 'launch' all so Ger could offer Lorcan a job, sick of looking at the shop



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,885 ✭✭✭littlevillage


    There are a lot of pointless characters and stupid storylines on Fair City at the moment…they used to at least try in the past.

    Its like there's some one overseeing the storylines and nipping out anything likely to stir up anti government sentiment. 👀

    No mention of housing crisis, immigration crisis, cost of living crisis, street crime epidemic, Gardai incompetence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,011 ✭✭✭Deeec


    Im sick of the product mentions aswell. Renee mentioned ordering more organic veg. Holly mentioned small pancakes last week etc. They seem to always have to mention what they came into buy or the products are seen in their hands. Its not subtle sponsorship at all. Its way too much. Its like Lidl are now writing the script!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,490 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    I predict a sh1t story line for ian 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,918 ✭✭✭John arse


    Think they might have got the script writers in Lidl too!!!🤔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,233 ✭✭✭Sparko


    Where is Ger's shop supposed to be? Is it in the same place that Brewzers is, is that part of the marketplace? I need a map of Carrigstown!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭Otis Hill


    I'm surprised he's even getting a storyline but based on the preview for the next episode it looks like he is. Immasculation via sperm donation is quite a novelty to be fair to the writers. I mean I'm not optimistic that the writers or actors will really capture any of the nuance of the emotions involved in that sort of thing but at least its something different 🤷‍♂️

    The soap is going to get a name change I hear 'Fair Lidl City' 😊

    'Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? A nation turns It's lonely eyes to you.'



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,180 ✭✭✭GAAcailin


    I’d add childcare to that list. No childcare problems for Nono with two working parents; And Milo and Taylor have super nanny Ellie who is on her way to becoming a paediatrician minding them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Saminotnow


    No offence to the actress playing Babs, but I seriously can't believe she's only 32 in real life.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,176 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I think Gar with Babs would be good, better than him with Melanie

    What is Sean saving for, next I expect him to go around in the nude, give up clothes and maybe even go bathing in the Liffey

    Is Ger's shop, where the shared office was?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭Otis Hill


    I don't think the actress is 32 so she probably won't take any offence 😜. She was 33 in real life I thought when she started so presumably she's 35 now if they've been it a couple of years. Babs the chatacter is in her 40s.

    Here's an article from last year where she says she's 34.

    Sean is saving for early retirement apparently 🙄. The writers really have made him a laughing stock though. He's a single 30 year old man. Imagine him trying to pull on a night out after only taking a 3 minute shower with a splash of lemon juice on his bits 😬. Or going on a tinder date and telling her they have to go for the early bird menu and can't get a starter. Then he brings her back to his place where he lives with his grandad along with a lazy sponger and her two kids. What a catch.

    Its funny to think that around 2007 or 2008 Sean, Mark and Doug used to be heavily featured and Sean and Mark were more so main characters at the time than Doug. I wouldnt have put money on Doug being the one to be the most relatively successful e.g. he's in a stable relationship about to be married, has kid and is in a qualified job and hasn't murdered any of his siblings or assaulted any of his in-laws. Mark is an absolute wreck of an individual and Sean's life is a bit of a shambles in a very different way but I suppose its reflective of the situation a lot of young people have found themselves in where they didnt go to college or get any formal qualifications.

    She still looks older than mid 30s. She and Victor look to be a similar age, and he's around 50 in real life.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,490 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    They've probably forgotten about gar and Melanie 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,176 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Where is Melanie and Jess working out of for Joan and is Greg gone from Lidl too?

    I hope I'm wrong but I see a sexual assault on Sash by Ian, proving his masculinity by 'turning' her.

    btw where did Erica actually come from ?
