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

Someone should tell Dean that.

Eastenders put together a flash forward episode that will keep us guessing for the next 12 months.

The best the clowns that write this show could come up with is arguing over a christening and a few cases of wine going missing.

How come Orla isn't poking her nose into winegate?

Strange holly didn't have any reaction to james and hayley getting back together. Is her and the young lad still living in raffertys?

Don't know if Sashs' mother has ever been introduced, I'd love Beverly Callard to play Sashs' long lost mother, or someone to that effect, if true I don't want the production team to make Bev a bland character, when Bev puts her mind down to it she can play the part extremely well,

I know there is a Hullabaloo over her leaving Coronation Street owing to creative differences and poor scriptwriting, etc, and fair city can be pretty much silly at the best of times, but that's why we watch it a break from reality, funny and fair from miserable, I watch all the soaps in Ireland and the UK and shortland street.

Corrie for example has gone downhill, seriously unfunny storylines, crazy drama, to serious, sometimes just sometimes they, Corrie get the issue based storylines right.

Back in Corrie's heyday and Bev's, the balance was just right, no extreme crazy storylines, and the actors new and well established had a say in the storylines and direction, not totally but there was that option to say as an actor I'll say it like this and maybe do that this way, now the big bosses and production team say right do this, it has to be done this way, no excuses , no backchat, the actors have no opinions now, apart from a few that's been around a long time and has the pulling power to get viewers watching

I personally know 3 actors who appear on FC and they told me themselves FC can be funny and stupid and tries to be serious when needs be but all the actors have an input from newbies to long term, and as one of them said if FC changed to the opposite of what is shown now people will turn off.

Also FC/RTe has not gone the same trend as the soaps in the UK where viewership has fallen dramatically in the last decade, FC has bucked that trend and viewership is stable and just as strong as a decade ago.

I had forgotten about Ian and thought he was Steo when he reappeared - until he opened his mouth!

just watching the actor who plays Ian on Titanic sinks tonight.

I think Beverly Callard will come in to sort Lorcan out and clash with Carol in the process. She could be related to a boyfriend of Ali or something.

Ian's character is annoying also.

He appears basically bullies Greg, makes sexist comments, Maxine defends him, etc.

They've done it so many times now with him.

Once they did give us a sob story for him.

Ya was surprised at that too. Sash is always so self righteous.

How did Sash get back to Carrickstown from Montrose so quickly? Battle of the howya's on DWTS last night - Sash and Karden Byrne

So we finally got a glimpse of the infamous "site" for the first time in years and no sign of any development being done on it 🙄

Is Holly's sugar baby past a secret? I thought everyone knew since it was being screamed about on the street the Christmas before last? I thought there was references to it with Holly between Juliet or Zoe at some point too?

I presume Greg and Holly will bang at some point in a twist as we were lead to believe that Jess might cheat again with Steo.

I do kind of hope Orla and Paul get back together. They're well suited together and deserve each other. Surprised Paul hasn't had another heart attack with all the stress he's under though.

Corriedale how ever far fetched is a billion light years ahead of FC.

I actually cant watch one more minute of Paul n whats his face randomly bumping into each other 6 times an episode talking about wine. Its so boring.

I agree- it was so dark that it was impossible to follow.

Not only should Ian be sacked, but Maxine too. A contractor to the Rafferty firm informs her that she is being sexually harassed by one of the company's employees and yet she dismisses her and tells her she is imagining things.
