I totally agree with your every word, Fair City should have got more awards than it did and no offence to Tony but I think others should have got it. I thought Clelia Murphy would have won an award and Zumo was robbed :mad:
I agree with you on the tony part. He had some great stories and was hardly off our telly so it seemed like a natural winner, but for zumo not to win it is a travesty really is. He's been around for a couple of years now and since the start of this year, he has really played a stormer with some of the stuff he's been given.
I think Yvonne has been a much better character then Niamh, in terms of I've seen more variety in Yvonne's performances then Niamh's, don't get me wrong she's a good character but you cant beat a good bitch
Can I ask you, who else would you of seen getting the male award or even nominated for that fact? Don't say Louie now:D 0 -

I was talking to my mother about Fair City recently, and her main complaint was the lack of male eye candy. "They finally introduce someone handsome, and what do they do? They stick him in the attic over the charity shop, and we haven't seen him since!" So I guess Avi has at least one fan.
Two!!!;)0 -

I thought it was a bit of a weak way and unrealistic way for Yvonne to leave on, I will really miss her, hope she comes back in a few months.
Carol doesn't seem bothered that Tracey could leave but looking at her, she will be off soon :eek:
Loved Louie & Yvonne
Thought Bela was a bit harsh :eek: 0 -

Tony Tormey said much the same thing in his interview with Dave Fanning a while back. I thought he might be leaving for a while, but I wonder now if the award will change that.
I bet Yvonne will come back with a husband.
I wouldn't mind if the whole Brennan family took a long break from the show
That would be good, as long as she doesn't come back with Connie :eek:0 -

Except for Damien of course. He is part of the family now at this stage
Even though her exit wasn't convincing at all and I felt it let her down compared to the rest of her performances from previous weeks, I am sad to say I will miss her. Could Neasa be the new bitch in town? Only time will tell.0 -

I liked Yvonnes exit; there wasnt anyone else she could have shared her final scenes with. I thought she shone again tonight; her scenes with Bela were terrific.
Bizarre the amount of time devoted to Christys spuds; just disappointed we didn't learn what names he gives to them. Signs of discontent from Carol there.

But the fake Louie is a great idea. It would really bother the real Louie, and you could see him causing a lot of trouble.
The fake Louie wasn't hot though that would be no contest 0 -

Bela's speech was harsh, and it boiled down to one thing: "I care about Ruth more than I do about you." He may have thought he was doing the right thing, but it was an astonishingly cruel response to a daughter who told him how abandoned she felt as a child. I love the way the whole baby story revealed new facets of the characters, particularly the Doyle family.
And next week's stories revolve around Tracey, Duncan and Wayne. I'm looking forward to that.
Rogercar, I think that's a great idea about Yvonne and Richard. It interesting that she's barely gone, and we're already talking about her comeback.
I agreed with you about Bela, but maybe they feel they have already lost Stephen and don't want to lose Ruth as well and they thought if Yvonne brought her up away from them, she may go into care and they will never see her again. I would like them to introduce Stephen into the show. He would be a good addition.
Shows how great of a character she is if we are already wanting her back! I am interested to see what this new baddie Ritchie is like, we got rid of the baddie and get probably an even better one :eek::D
So happy to see Duncan back on screen and the more we see of Wayne, the better. Louie really needs a meaty storyline to get his teeth into, he has been on the sidelines for too long now:(
Am liking the new grown up TJ, he made me laugh!0 -

That is what I suggested to her. It is very biased. Fair City is on top form right now and how it only won one award baffles me.
With a lesser budget then the other shows as well. it's annoying but all they can do is plough on and keep churning out great stories and brilliant scripts. Soon this industry will grow to respect them as much as they respect other shows.0
