yer Polish ones in Fair City

andyr · 27-09-2006 11:17PM #1

I cant believe it would ever come to this but I have started watching and
following Fair city - heck I even watch the repeats!

But the Polish foreign ones in there (the 2 women) - are terrible. So out of
place and terrible actors and its a shame because I want to follow it
properly but as soon as they come on I turn over cause I cant stand their
pigeon English phlemmy pronunciations and wooden acting not being racist its
just that they cant act and are out of place on the soap - I mean what would
it be like to have a Dub star in a polish soap? ;-)

This morning I tuned into Fair ****ty (sorry city) on RTE1 and when yer
Polish Blondie came on and started phleming all over the place I turned over
to Ballanamory on RTE2, actually I quite liked that and the PC bloke was
trying to find out who was littering Ballinamory with suzy pocket (or is it
sweet?) anyway the one in the wheelchair. anyway they found out in the end
it was that daft cow who drives the minibus - she only had a hole in the
bottom of her black dustbin bag didn't she and all the rubbish she put in
the top was coming straight out the bottom - Daft Cow! - anyway the point I
am making is that the Polish woman in Fair City made me turn over to
Ballinamory and I got engrossed in that and then missed the last bit of Fair
City. - I have entered the Fair City competition today by the way to win a
new DELL PC. I think the answer is Blue Dolphin.

I cant wait to see tomorrows episode of Ballinamory

Ta-ta,

Andy.

beg you Puddin' and apologies to Polish people everywhere. Geography was never a strong point with me. - they still cant act though whatever their nationality.

They are in fact Russian. I think the blonde one married to the taxi bloke is a good actress. She is in fact Russian is real life, so is not putting it on. I also believe her english is quite good, and her character can be quite funny at times.

Its that old one living with Dolores that does my head in, she can't act for sh!te.

I don't get that russian one - sure she's ok looking and she can remember her lines, but you'd swear she was the only good looking woman in Ireland, the way the media fawn all over her. Every mag. produced in Ireland has had a feature on how she's going to take over the world. It's like "Isn't it great, we are such a cosmopolitian country, we have Russian tv stars". If she was Irish, I bet she wouldn't be lauded as much.

Yes she is dire, the one thats got her arm in a sling the old one with dyed black hair thats the one isn't it? - how did she break her arm?. Just watched it when she was waiting in the hotel lobby for her son.

I think there needs to be a new storyline to wipe a few out in that soap something like a plane crashing into Carrickstown - do an emmerdale on it.

I like Ray is it the bald headed mechanic bloke and the woman he lives with they can be quite funny. Some great overacting from that pub bloke who's having the affair with the blond one.

another thing about Fair City - have you ever heard the way all the characters use "Oh?" as a device.

"My scan came back. It's cancer". "Oh?"

"The Baby. It's not yours." "Oh?"

"I have a meeting after work, thats all" "Oh?"

Started off with Barry O'Hanlon doing it, now they all do. It drives me mad!

andyr · 14-11-2006 02:52AM

Thanks to that Boris fella from Kazakhstan and his new movie every time I see and hear that Olga one in Fair City I keep expecting her to say :

'Hello, I am Olga from Carrikztown - you come see me in my new soap, Fair Szhitty - No? - If not I will be Execute! '

colm_mcm · 14-11-2006 11:37PM

andyr · 15-11-2006 01:34AM

Whats the Borat film like anyways I am getting mixed reviews but the trailers I have seen on TV look funny especially where he is sitting at the dinner table and calling someones wife ugly!

Keedowah · 15-11-2006 01:39AM

its
just that they cant act and are out of place on the soap

I thought it was a rule that people on the show couldn't act. I'm with Mike on this one - stop watching it.

that is all

Keedowah · 15-11-2006 01:51AM

Balamory.... after babysitting 5 nieces over the last few years, and bearing witness to this show, I defy anyone who watches that with any regularity to not become swayed that Miss Hoolie is attractive. :eek:

Susie Sweet and Penny Pocket for the record, m'lud

colm_mcm · 19-11-2006 11:10PM

Oh MISS HOOLIE!!!! god i'll be back in five minutes

memphis · 14-12-2006 01:06PM

Whats with all the bloody foreigners in Fair City these days anyway. I counted at least 10 in one espisode alone this week. I know that there is a large influx of migrants into the country of late but come on like its meant to be an "Irish" soap. Looking at it these days you wouldn't know what country its set in. I'm not being racist here by any means, but is it really necessary to have some many foreigners in the soap?

What are others opinion on the matter??

tbh · 14-12-2006 01:20PM

I think it's a tactic RTE use to make the soap seem more cosmopolitan, and it doesn't really reflect the demographics outside of dublin (in which, of course and in fairness, it's set). I think most people probably know maybe one or two foreigners so it seems strange - I do agree they they seem "shoe-horned" in tho. Helps with story line generation i suppose. I'd say the nordie actors are getting worried, there seems to have been a policy in RTE that wherever there are more than two people in any setting, at least one of them must be from the north:D

I know what you mean, there does not seem to be a very fair balance. I am not being racist but a lot of the foreigners in there are not very good actors anyway - Part of a good actor is not knowing that they are acting, - but a lot of the ones sound like they are just reading direct from the script! and I wonder are they on the minimum wage?

Why do we get some storylines in FC and then all of a sudden they (the actors) all disappear into oblivion? - where is Ken, where is hi dad, where is your one from the garage who didn't want a baby and then did, where is yer one from the garage the old fella who moved into the flat with that woman Ray was it? whats happened to Delores and that old biddy who held her arm and found her son, the fella who's mum runs the shop who stuffed up his date, and mike and his failing restaurant whats happened to that? - where have all those actors and storylines gone to now I haven't seen them for ages.

On the subject of bad acting what kind of acting is that Dominic doing? - have you seen how he cannot seem to say a line without his head or his eyes darting all around the place? - when he is not speaking it seems to keep still but when he is talking he makes me giddy where he cannot keep his head still.

I am beginning to like that Serge fella now, and I like ken (where is he?) and the storyline with Anthony and yer one, and I like Jo apart from that I get fed up with all this honey thing, I would like to see the storyline with the fella locking up Olga getting more intense (I suppose it will).

Its not just the foreigners in it who are rubbish actors. The new guy, who plays Tims nephew, Declan is utterly atrocious. He has to be seen to be believed.

Yeah, I totally agree, I noticed this ages ago. Other examples are the councillor Mannion who had a secret daughter, The developer Seamus Mcaleer and his daughter, Niamh and Paul, Robin and Jimmy and Ray, Carol (Traceys running the pub all by herself now?!), Sarah and Suzanne. None of these characters have been seen in weeks, months in fact.

I also think storylines run for far too long, like the affair between Orla and the smarmy git, which lasted months and months.
The current storyline with the asian boy hanni and his aunt who is looking for custody is just dragging on way too long aswell. Its a boring storyline. Thank God tomorow its finished

yer Polish ones in Fair City
