Dr Max ( l look too young to be a doctor) he’s a fairly one dimensional character from what we’ve seen so far, basically following in the footsteps of uncle Ram.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand · 12-03-2026 08:33AM

following the example of the solicitors office maybe he will be sharing his surgery with the helping hand or Molloys garage?

Foggy Jew · 12-03-2026 08:59AM

My best friend is a GP. She scans the Lidl & Aldi websites for middle aisle offers. If she spots something she wants - I go to the shop to buy it for her. She wouldn’t be seen dead in the actual shops herself in case the locals saw her and thought she was a cheapskate. When she used to shop in one of the main stream grocery stores, patients of hers were caught peering sideways into her trolley - clearly looking for unhealthy food, or heaven forbid, a couple of bottles of wine. A patient once took his shoe & sock off in the tinned food aisle and asked her if his ingrowing toenail was infected.
She does all her shopping online these days.
And if we are going out on the lash - it’s always at least 100kms from the town she practises in. If we get chatting to randomers, she will always say she is a nurse. I get a kick out of pretending to be the doctor. Peoples attitudes to you change quite dramatically when they hear you’re a doc.

The new nurse seems to be a carbon copy of Ama the previous nurse - in both looks and behaviour

As far as I know, the charges were dropped!

My AI envelope story attempt

Title: The Missing Envelope
A Comical Episode of Fair City

Scene 1 – McCoy’s Pub, Midday

Pete is pacing around the pub, lifting beer mats and checking under chairs. Doug watches him with mild amusement.

Doug: Pete… if you bend down any more you’ll qualify as a floor inspector.

Pete: I’m looking for something.

Doug: Your patience?

Pete: An envelope.

Doug: Ah. The classic Carrigstown emergency.

Pete: It’s important.

Doug: They’re all important when you’ve lost them.

Pete: It was right here on the counter five minutes ago.

Doug: That’s what they all say.

Delores enters, immediately noticing the chaos.

Delores: Why are the chairs upside down?

Doug: Pete’s conducting a search operation.

Pete: I had a brown envelope. It’s gone.

Delores: What was in it?

Pete: Documents.

Doug: That means he hasn’t read them.

Pete: I have!

Doug: Go on then. What documents?

Pete: …Important ones.

Delores: Very convincing.

Scene 2 – The Investigation

Pete is now questioning people like a detective.

Pete: Doug, where were you ten minutes ago?

Doug: Sitting here.

Pete: Doing what?

Doug: Watching you panic about an envelope.

Delores: Maybe you dropped it.

Pete: I didn’t drop it.

Doug: Maybe someone took it.

Pete: Exactly!

Delores: Who would steal an envelope?

Doug: Someone who likes stationery.

Scene 3 – The Truth Comes Out

Pete checks his pockets again.

Doug: You’ve checked those pockets six times.

Pete: I know what I’m doing.

Pete checks his inside jacket pocket and freezes.

Delores: What is it?

Pete slowly pulls out the envelope.

Doug bursts out laughing.

Doug: Don’t tell me—

Pete: It was in my pocket.

Delores: Pete!

Doug: The great envelope heist… committed by Pete against Pete.

Pete: I must’ve put it there earlier.

Delores: And turned the pub upside down looking for it.

Doug: I’m framing this moment.

Pete: Very funny.

Doug: So what’s inside the famous envelope?

Pete opens it and sighs.

Delores: Well?

Pete: My car tax reminder.

Doug: All that drama for a bill.

Delores: Carrigstown’s biggest mystery solved.

Doug: Until the next missing envelope.

Pete groans as Doug and Delores laugh.

FADE OUT

Have the writers forgotten that Pete had CCTV put all over the garage, including the office after they had a break in last year or the year before? He became really obsessive over security even camping at the garage overnight. So why doesn't he check the CCTV to see if Doug did take the envelope? 🙄

I presume Dolly and Pete's boudoir pics will be dug up by Hayley and James and they can use them for more of their favourite pastime - blackmail

Time for changes · 12-03-2026 11:14PM

Fair city like all soaps and cctv never work, it's always on the blink, not turned on, someone moved the camera blah blah blah.

Modern technology is sucking the mystery out of everday life..... simple misunderstandings and mysteries are the bread & butter of Soap storylines.

If soaps embrace technology their storylines will be dead before they even start.

Even simple stuff like working CCTV, phones & computers that have screen locks.

Ash.J.Williams · 13-03-2026 10:17AM

Haley is cartman

Deeec · 13-03-2026 12:45PM

Umm I wonder who Vic and Babs new lodger will be. Will it be Lily or Tara?

This Hayley/Mondo vendetta is another story getting too complicated to follow.

The GPs waiting room is a dream - only Jacinta waiting. Cant understand why Gwen is in and out of the doctors only to annoy a guy she barely knows.

The photo storyline is another load of nonsense that could be funny but probably will have no ending.

First there was Ama ….. then there was Anna ….. now there is Tara ….. same character diff actor ……

TyeTO · 13-03-2026 11:39PM

Are boudouir photos, nude photos?

Time for changes · 13-03-2026 11:58PM

The whole photo story is just filler crap. All Doug had to do was go and "dig" up the box a few inches underground probably in the same spot Laura was buried. The surgery, get in the REAL world RTE ffs.

Galwayguy35 · 14-03-2026 01:01AM

This Gwen and Lilly storyline ran out of steam ages ago.

It's getting boring at this stage.

It really is, every interaction between them the same in each episode, very boring.

TyeTO · 14-03-2026 01:54AM

Is Erica back with a new man, or did she leave there? I recall her and her mother going off in Pete's car on the honeymoon

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124310842#Comment_124310842

I feckn hope not! It was a way to end the MG story though but would Pete not want to know where it is since he is the one in the firing line if the guards get their hands on it.

Strazdas · 14-03-2026 03:39AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124310650#Comment_124310650

Underwear / lingerie I believe (I've no personal experience mind you).

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124310850#Comment_124310850

Erica, her mother and the MG got booted off the show cause they were shít characters and were costing too much (particularly the MG)*

*Hopefully I'm right about that

Meanwhile Doug is happy out... living his best manosphere life

not exactly as there was a cowboy hat involved apparently.

Sephiroth_dude · 15-03-2026 09:57PM

Hilarious hearing Doug call Gar and Dean "the best friends ever!" like they were blood brothers or something, the only thing they have in common is that their women left them in the last year 😂😂

Otis Hill · 15-03-2026 10:12PM

Lol at Doug saying Dean and Gar are his best friends. Neither of them were invited to his failed wedding 6 months ago as far as I recall and his bestie at the time was Nikki with Sean also sticking his nose a bit.

I really hope Holly and Kira slap the arrogance off Hayley. Really can't bring myself to sympathetise for her considering everything she's done over the years, including denying Phoebe justice for her father the same way she wants justice for Anto.

I wonder would Dolly ask Pete to dress like a priest for her raunchy photos? 🤔

If the nurse had said she was interested in hearing about Jacinta's son, how would Jacinta have pitched Fergal to her? Former far right nutjob seeks ethnic female to prove he's not rascist anymore?

New Scottman · 16-03-2026 12:28AM

Emma is a MILF

Ash.J.Williams · 16-03-2026 09:50AM

Is haley a bit unhinged?

Strazdas · 16-03-2026 11:05AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124316254#Comment_124316254

They seem to have turned her into a dislikeable 'bitch' character, a younger Carol. Out for herself, greedy, ruthless etc. Having said that, none of the Collinses or Raffertys are particularly likeable.

tradfan1 · 16-03-2026 12:22PM

Hayley also seems to have forgotten that both Mondo and Victor were nearly killed by the fire started by Anto.

Deeec · 16-03-2026 12:38PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124316621#Comment_124316621

The whole Hayley/James bringing Mondo down is farcical at this stage. Completely stupid nonsense considering her dad almost killed people by starting fire and and also left her bankrupt afterwards. Also her 2 brothers murdered a man and it was covered up. In her situation she should just shut up and keep her head down.

lumphammer2 · 16-03-2026 01:21PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124316411#Comment_124316411

I always considered Hayley to be a younger Carol aka Caddle from day 1 ….. only more devious and scheming than Carol ever was …… I recall Hayley was originally written in as someone with a rough background ….. but when her family were introduced they weren't all that rough!! …..

In recent year Hayley has gone from a no messing businesswoman character in the Caddle mould …… to a 'bitch' type character who is scheming and devious more akin to say pre accident Heather …… she is dislikeable but maybe not as devious or heartless as Heather once was …..

The other Rafferty and Collins characters have also been transformed ….. take James …. he is introduced as a rich playboy with pervy ways ….. and then the failed son of a building empire …… to now one of the more reasonable pragmatic members of the clan …..

lumphammer2 · 16-03-2026 01:45PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124316621#Comment_124316621

Anto was no saint ….. he destroyed lives via his obsessive gambling addiction ……and the fire that nearly killed Mondo and Victor only proved his dark side further ….. Hayley goes around now as if her father was a saint ……

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124316254#Comment_124316254

Hayley has always been a bit unhinged …… like Caddle/Carol ….. like Heather ….. like a few more in that mould …… she is a typical unstable 'bitch' character similar to ones in other soaps like Coronation Street and Eastenders …..

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124316674#Comment_124316674

I do not think James is committed at all to this ….. he is at best the reluctant participant …… for sure Anto hurt Hayley and she should keep stum and keep her head down …. Anto was no saint either her 2 brothers ….. Will was a nasty evil btard but killing is killing …..

James could well unravel here ….. he is clearly against using Holly in this and speaking of Holly …. her conscience will get the better of her and she could confess all to Mondo …..

A lot depends on how the court case goes ….. but things are not looking well for Hayley ….. and I doubt if Holly or James will stay the course ….. their consciences are showing signs of getting the better of both ……
