    Having taken some time out to re-evaluate and come up with a new format for posts on the blog, we’re back, and here’s what has kept me most entertained this week in the Soaps… Cliffhanger Endings | Red Rock Red Rock arrived on our screens for the first time back in January and instantly left its…

    Rachel Reid Goes Missing as The Plot Thickens on Red Rock

    Thirty-Two episodes in and Red Rock continues to give it’s Soap Rivals a run for their money, proving that even the new kid on the block can keep its audience gripped with well rounded characters and throwing as many twists and turns our way as the veterans, with decades of experience, do.

  • Ros na Rún & The Demise of the Dastardly Doctor

    It was only a matter of time before Karma caught up with soap villain extrordinaire, Dr Cathal Hennessy, who drew his last breath in this week’s outing to Ros na Rún.

    I had been thinking for quite some time that Bryan Murray’s on screen alter ego Bob Charles was desperately in need of another big storyline for the actor to sink his teeth in to, as it is almost criminal to let such an acting talent sit idly by in the background of other characters’ goings…

  • A Trip To The Theatre 2 | Leper & Chip Review

    Back in October I took a time out from badgering on about the soaps for a little bit and ventured out to Dublin’s cultural underground to go see the play Joe Prop, then wrote a quick write up for it here, and due to the popularity of that post, just like a greedy Hollywood Executive I’ve…

  • Got Milk?

    After spending some time away from Ros na Rún, Cathal Hennessy has returned to the village, but to say he’s been on edge since his return would be somewhat of an understatement.
