Fair City TV Review 08/05/13

Here we are back with a bang for Ireland's wacky soap Fair City on RTE 1. We start off in Carrigstown with poor old Tommy Dillon sleeping rough out in the local park after a nights drinking session (Ah yes good old Knacker Drinking, that brings back memories of my teens). Anyway Damien and goodie two shoes Pete Ferguson come across him. Pete more or less tells him to get his act together while Damien looks at him in disgust and does not seem bodered.

Sergeant Deegan decides to keep his mouth shut over Ama being an illegal but tells her to be careful as somebody else could easily report her. It was not a good day for poor old Ama as her job was terminated by Bob from pressure by Deegan.

Carol gets one up on Yvonne Doyle when creepy Farrell (What Is His First Name Fair City?) tells Yvonne he no longer wants to work for her due to a conflict of interests and tells Carol that Yvonne has been keeping her child support to use for her business. With this information Carol with advice from creepy Farrell demands the money she is owed with 10% interest. She has no choice but to agree and is forced to say sorry. Ten seconds later there slagging each other off and hurling insults.

Neasa decides to shut "The Station" early and decides she no longer wants to run it because of her mothers affair with her uncle. She pays a visit to her uncle Luke to inform him of her decision.

Niamh tells baldy Paul that he needs to start acting like a father to Callum instead of his mate. When Callum calls over, Paul tries acting like a father and gives him a lecture about safe sex telling Callum to learn from his mistakes. Callum takes this the wrong way and asks Paul if he is a mistake than storms off like he usually does. They end up meeting up later for a father and son chat to sort things out. Everything is now rosy between father and son. (We Love A Happy Ending).

Drunk Tommy ends up running into his brother Luke at "The Station" which is closed when Neasa shut it earlier. They have some boring exchange of words at the top of the stairs about ugly Judith when all of a sudden like good brothers they start fighting. Luke ends up pushing Tommy down the stairs and is seriously hurt. Tommy asks for help but Luke tells him to drink more alcohol at the bar and leaves. It looks like the whole thing was recorded as Fair City ends with a recording shot from a security camera. Things are not looking good for Luke.
