Well, that's so unbelieveable that the baby, who was the 'highlight' of the soap all during yvonnes pregnancy - and featured so much in the battle between paul and yvonne when it was born etc etc, is now, apparently, in a creche somewhere. Without ONE person asking niamh 'how's the baby' - without niamh once complaining that she hasn't had a nights sleep, or having a baby drool stain on her, and without one mention of creche prices, where the creche is....
The list is endless and once again, FC isn't consistent in its script writing....

max life · 03-01-2011 10:07pm

Continuity seems to be a problem in FC more so than any other soap. Characters always seem to disappear for a few months at a time. They then just appear again with no mention of where they have been..:mad:

She will be walking when we next see it. Come on Fair City, dont start stories and then leave them to one side for a long time.

A bit late but the cast have released a charity "single" available on I-Tunes (Ireland and UK). It's a version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

"With respect" if you have nothing positive to say why don't you feck off to a thread about something you do actually like instead of filling this one with your whinging.....;)

Was it on last night? The schedule is all screwed up over the last couple of weeks.

They do that because a lot of the actors have other commitments, like the actress who plays Jo has her own acting school, Keith does a lot of work in America, a lot of the characters do theatre work. Fair City is not highly paid so they have to supplement their income.

My comment wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at whoever decided to release a christmas single in January:rolleyes:

And perhaps this thread should be re-named 'Lovers of Fair City', as it appears anyone who criticises it is asked to go to take a running jump. I was of the impression this was a 'Fair City' thread only and was open to all comments.

I have to agree - anything negative is met with derision - you can be a fan and be critical. As for FC not being highly paid - that is nonsense. The actors & writers are on a great wage.

We like to focus on the positive aspects of the show, nothing wrong with that I realise I am very defensive about the show but it is only because I am such a big fan.

If you bothered to research it, you would see the single was released in December for Charity.

What's with the attitude

Why would I research it when some other fan posted that it was released this week???

Who's this 'we' you keep referring to? You must be a researcher or be connected in fc in some way angel - never have I seen any fan of anything in my life, be as defensive as you when someone dares to criticise!!!

I have to agree here. Angel01, you keep speaking on behalf of everyone here, a lot of whom dont hold your views. You should only speak for yourself, fanboy or not. Just because its a FC thread, it doesnt mean all comments have to be positive, very few people could say FC is 100% brilliant with no faults.

On the subject of characters disappearing for weeks, no other soap works its storylines around the commitments of the actors, because the soap IS the job of the actor, all of the time. Jo having an acting schoool etc just highlights how slipshod and temporary the soap is, its not taken seriously as a genuine dramatic art form when so many actors slip in and out, seemingly at will. Cull a lot of the old timers and you would have a fully functional soap where everyone got a shout.

That's a very good point - other characters in other soaps work their schedule around their 'job'. It's not like RTE don't have the money to pay some of the top characters in their top soap, so why they don't is anyones guess.

When you consider the money RT or JD are on, for a 2/3 hour radio slot...actually, why don't they pay their soap 'stars' more?

I am speaking on behalf of myself.. I don't know why you have to be so rude on a personal level. I never said it was 100% perfect but I am a fan of the show and this thread was nice and happy and a good place to be when people were not so negative.

Frankly Wanderer, you've been trolling this thread since you joined it.
All your comments are negative, dull, uninteresting and naked attempts to wind up the regular contributors - which you've failed to do really.

Nobody is suggesting Fair City is up there with The Godfather Part 2 in terms of drama but your unrelenting negativity is boring and unoriginal.
It's been said countless times elsewhere although somewhat surprisingly the "Fair City is Crap" type threads don't have anywhere near the amount of posts this thread has.
Funny that. :cool:

Not connected as I have said before.. I am a big fan of the show. It is not a crime to love a soap and want to defend it as much as I do. I enjoy watching it and I won't be bullied off this thread.

This thread was a nice place before all this negativity, what is so wrong with wanting to focus on the positive?

Bit of a point there, UK soaps pay their cast a hell of a lot more. No comparison there..

I disagree. What would Corrie be like without Ken, Rita, Emily etc. All soaps need their long term characters. Every street and village has people living locally for generations. Perhaps FC should explain where characters disappear to, eg, for the next few weeks Louie is away on business, he said so to Carole on Sunday night. Got to say I thought the Christmas day episode was lovely, not too dramatic, just nice and Christmassy! It was so lovely to see so many of the regulars in McCoy's. It was a nice way to get them together. So well done to everyone envolved! Let's hope the drama really hots up now that we are into the new year!

annieire · 04-01-2011 9:06pm

I wish they would turn off that music that is playing in Vino's!

I can't see where anyone is trying to bully you off this thread angel.

People are being critical of a soap, which they are perfectly entitled to be. This thread is called 'Fair City' - not We love Fair City or Only People Who Love Fair City Can Post Here.

I am also a fan, but the plots and lack of consistency in alot of the storylines leave alot to be desired - and I, and anyone else who cares to, are as entitled to mention it here - on the Fair City thread - not the You Can Only Post Here to Say Nice Things About Fair City Thread - as you are.

I am a bit surprised that Keith does a lot of work in America. I think that, out of all the characters, he has been in more episodes in the last couple of years, than anyone else. He seems to be in every episode.

SuperInfinity · 04-01-2011 10:22pm

He's one of the few good actors in Fair City, he has a good face on him as well. I would guess he improvises his role a bit as well since he's a good/believable character.... all rare commodities on Far City....

jos28 · 04-01-2011 10:26pm

LOVED Una's dress tonight. Anyone know where it comes from (and no smart a*ses saying the RTE wardrobe dept please):D

Sibylla · 04-01-2011 11:06pm

As many other posters have mentioned, The one problem with fair city is how they can introduce a major storyline and within weeks it's forgotten completely. Take Carol for instance, Does anyone recall when she was involved with the detective? They brought his character back and turned him into a creep when there was so much potential with future storylines, Couldn't Deegan use a partner? It's the same with Louis and Yvonne, It seems unrealistic there relationship could fizzle out so quickly. Within a matter of months I'm sure Suzanne will return and her antics forgotten too.
On another note funny to see Bob and Turlough back.

SuperInfinity · 04-01-2011 11:10pm

The reintroduction of Turlough is going to make it close to unwatchable again, especially considering he's now in a wheelchair.

I mean, could you possibly think of a more stupid storyline if you tried? I couldn't. I thought Turlough was gone forever and good riddance, god only knows why they brought him back.

Yes I agree completely there are some pretty bad characters at the moment.
I assume he is pretending to be paralysed? Can't see his character going anywhere
very interesting in the show.

Last year I noticed there were a few scenes mainly with Avi and Pete where they were promoting services run by the Government - I think one of the was the "back to work allowance" (or something like that) - and I know there were another few but I can't think at the moment.

So now I'm wondering with Turlough in a wheelchair will they be highlighting services for wheelchair users.

He is back around the same time as Bob I smell a set up as in him and Bob working on a scam and that Turlough really can walk :cool:

What is stupid about been in a wheelchair. Many people are delighted to have the use of them to get around after been born with disabilities which ment they did not have the strength in their legs or back to walk or to get around after been involved in an accident which again left them without the required strength in their legs or back to walk.

He was always fairly grumpy. Charlie, Esther, Mark and Niamh always seem to be angry. You rarely see any of them smile.

I have to say that i quiet like Mark, he's cute but not in the obvious poster boy way! ..Its the same with Doug.

Niamh does seem to be cross a lot of the time but i find it amusing the banter they have with Esther.

I read that next week it will be introduced, I cannot see it working at all.
He is surely old enough to be her father and very creepy.

Soaps

Charlotte is bullied at school

Airs on Tuesday, January 11 2011 20:00 GMT on RTÉ OneBy Ryan Love, Entertainment Reporter

Tweet this Digg this Send to friend More options Soaps

Fair City

Zumo prevents Denzo from taking a call from Decco saying he is not worth talking to. Charlotte goes back to school and stops her mother from being over-protective, saying she'll be fine. Paul berates Rachel for not doing her Irish homework and tells Niamh that they need to stick together. Damien is shocked and unnerved when he receives a birthday card from Suzanne with a kiss on it.

A mortified Denzo messes up another collection for Zumo and he makes him go to Grafton Street to sell the unwanted load. Turlough tells Bob that he is not fooled by Bob's claims that he has made money and knows he is broke. In Vinos, Orla tells Niamh that she needs to get out more and make time for her friends. She agrees to go for drinks with her. Back in Turlough's house, Bob agrees to stay and care for Turlough for 300 euro a week and free-board.

Charlotte's first day back in school turns out to be a nightmare and she is picked on by a bully who teases her about her cancer and wig. She calls her dad. He in turn calls Zumo who goes to where Charlotte is and threatens the bully. She reaps the benefits of being a Bishop. Paul laments to Barry about not having enough time with Niamh and having to teach Rachel Irish. Barry offers to give Rachel grinds.

Pete reminds Dolores that it’s Damien’s birthday tomorrow and he received a card from Suzanne. Neasa meets Turlough again and they connect. Yvonne learns that Paul is under pressure and offers to look after their children. Later he argues with Rachel about her project and Niamh is forced to cancel her plans with Orla so she can look after Ruth. Bob rifles through Turlough's briefcase and makes a discovery.

Wednesday

Turlough and Neasa cross paths again. Paul organises a romantic night with Niamh and she takes him up wrong thinking she has a night off and organises a ‘girls' night’. Damien takes some time off and annoys Pete so he can go to a counselling session. Bob accosts with the briefcase of newspapers he has about his son's death and accuses Turlough of trying to scam him again. Turlough tells Bob that he knows Bob is hiding something about his son's death and Bob denies it.

Paul reluctantly takes up Yvonne's offer to babysit while he and Niamh have their romantic meal. Damien decides to put the past behind him and celebrate his birthday with Wayne, Dolores and Pete. Wayne can’t hide his disgust at Dolores and Pete's relationship. A disappointed Paul learns that Niamh has organised a girls' night out and does not have the heart to tell her about the meal for two. He tells Yvonne he doesn’t need her. He ends up babysitting the children while the girls party the night away.

Bob tries and fails to apologise to Damien. He later learns that Neasa fancies Turlough and he tells her that Turlough is a cripple. During the party a delighted Carol gets a call from Louie. She pretends to everyone that it’s Christy. The girls decide to do a Come Dine with Me night. Bob agrees to stay with Turlough long-term but warns him he can't change him.

Thursday

Turlough tells Bob that his bitterness will eat him up and get him nowhere. In Ridgeview, Paul tries to hide his disappointment to a hungover Nimah that he didn’t get to go out with her. Wayne gets annoyed when Damien praises Pete and says that he is out if his mother's league. Neasa asks Vivienne about Turlough's condition and if he'll walk again. Carol tells her to forget about him.

Wayne tries and fails to show Pete up in front of Dolores. Bob tries to get Turlough to go for physiotherapy with Robert. Vivienne learns from the school about Zumo threatening the bully and gives out to Charlotte about it. She discovers that Charlotte has been in touch with her dad and tries to stop her from contacting him again.
