Ah Kathryn go easy! If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Watch The Wire instead
Completely agree but sure all soaps are just escapism for people. To show life is much worst for people in soaps and how good they have it, not living in an area of dublin where more people have died in the last 25 years than the total population of dublin!!!
Soaps as to TV what trashy mags are to the Press, you might not like either but they have a target audience and suspiciously it’s nearly the same audience as folk that like soaps often are fans of trashy mags.
The anniversary was six days ago. Hardly pulling punches to comment on something that happened a week ago. More like clutching at straws.
I always feel sorry for the actors, the script is always abysmal.
I feel sorry for the script writers, because the acting is awful.
A vicious circle indeed.
I feel sorry for the licence payers because of all of the above.
There’s some pretty good actors in fair city. The problem is that due to the nature of the genre and more particularly the budget, there simply isn’t time for any meaningful rehearsals or preparation. AFAIK they get one run through and then its straight to a take.
This obviously goes for scriptwriting and direction as well.
It shows.
Actually it doesn’t show. People don’t look at fair city and go ‘Interesting storyline that could have been better fleshed out with further revisions’, they say ‘RTE IS A POX ON OUR NATIONAL HERITAGE’ or some such nonsense.
Their biggest mistake was having Lorraine Molloy die in a hurricane off-screen.
Would have been bloody class to see the Fair City SFX department conjure one of them up.
i was watching kylie’s bum. what did i miss?
A large growth in the shape of Sinead O’Connor’s head on her right knee.
She should get it lanced.
It won’t get rid of it or anything, but it just needs to be stabbed.
Coffee.. nose… etc. :)
…something about Sinead being boring
Can’t believe we’re still going on about Kylie’s arse. It almost seems like we’re simply fascinated she has one.
People will be going on about Kylie’s arse as long as it stays in the shape of uter perfection it exists in.
“Dee ya wanna cupa tee, nah im goin ta Molloy’s
evrery week for 25 years
‘freedom’s just a state of mind, delores’
when the writer of the article is less talented than the writers of the TV programme it kinda implodes.
I love fair city I don’t care how crap it is,and your one with the arse looks nothing like Kyle
Do an Emmerdale and drop a plane on it.
I stopped watching it after they changed it from Emmerdale Farm.
What a travesty.
Kylie wins this round.
Have some respect, poor Christy isn’t even buried yet.
Rotide is spot on about the genre limitations. The other problem with soap criticism is that people who don’t like soaps don’t watch them. You can sit through a bad film to write a review, but no-one is going to watch even a fortnight of soap for a 300-word squib in The Star. (Hence her not knowing that two of the characters she finds so dreary were written out ages ago.)
Mondo is dire, though.
Like any soap plot, there’s always sex, so I came here to find who Kathryn rogers…
That’s why she has a small r! Well spotted. I thought “small r’s” might be another reference to Kylie.
Actually the best thing about Fair City is it gives Mario Rosenstock such good material to work with.
Oh god, please dont mention Mario…..Faircity is Hollywood box office stuff compared to his turd bucket or a show…….oh no….please let him die in peace……
Horrible tv for howiyas, don’t know any people from outside Dublin who watch it.
