I think the cast list and storylines should be retained. I'm quite happy to tidy them up if needs be, but as Ireland's only English language soap opera, wiki was a much better call for information on Fair City than IMDB.
This section should be deleted. It appears to be a mish-mash of dozens of different opinions ; just an endless gripe list. Wiki at its worst. Complete waffle. This article needs to be reduced to A4 size. Ruthlessly. ( Sarah777 02:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC))
Agreed, the first and second paragraphs especially. It's point of view rather than fact. And since when is linking to a user review on IMDB valid as a citation!? Jeeze. Actually, over a year later and still nothing has been done.

I agree that the old criticism section was a bit over the top but there needs to be some from a good source on here. The show is considered by a lot of Irish people to be a complete joke (poorly written and hopeless acting). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.41.95.65 ( talk) 20:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, I think Fair City has improved over the years (the Lucy Mallon storyline is one example of well-written characterization and impressive acting). By contrast, Coronation Street is now considered by a lot of people to be so bad, it's funny. Tails3333 ( talk) 16:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Here are some suggestions about Fair City - which I want to get feedback on and will then work on if other people agree.
Replacing the "Synopsis" section with a "History" section and a "Major Storylines" section. The Major Storylines could go year by year from 1989 on to 2008, with some of the biggest stories mentioned. This could also possibly be a seperate page if it ends up long enough. As for "History" it needs to be more detailed with when key things happened, like when the show went from 2 episodes to 3 and when the summer break was stopped.
Also a section on the production side of things could be done, with the bit on the sets thats there now included, as well as bits on the theme etc.
A "Criticism/Controversy" section could include the stars in the past who've come out giving out about the poor pay and working conditions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanmryan100 ( talk • contribs) 23:19, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Can someone with knowledge about this show—but who is not obsessed with it—clean up the list of Fair City characters? There is too much reference to the plot and to other characters in the description of characters. There is a lot of unnecessary repetition. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 14:05, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Can we get a lock on the main page please. The page keeps getting vandalised and it's starting to annoy me now. Cutekitten05 ( talk) 11:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
According to the references Tony Holland was only brought into help with this Soap Opera. He did not create the series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IrishTV ( talk • contribs) 22:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Tony Holland was brought in to give the soap it's structure and story lines for the first season. Margaret Gleeson was the show's first Executive Producer. With the help of producers Paul Cusack and David McKenna and script editor Tony Holland, Gleeson began putting in place the many components needed to make the series.

I have a bit of info about the Fair City DVD. It was produced by Coco Television and distributed by RMG Entertainment. Tails3333 ( talk) 22:14, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
