Carrigstown is set to be a hotbed of drama this festive season as Fair City delivers an unmissable line-up of episodes that are guaranteed to keep viewers glued to their screens.
With Damien Halpin’s unexpected return to Carrigstown, Emma Rafferty’s Christmas party chaos, and a new love interest for Carol Foley, this Christmas promises to be one to remember.
After some time away at a psychiatric clinic, Damien Halpin makes a surprise return to Carrigstown, just in time for Christmas, forcing his wife, Mairead Halpin, to reveal that his sister’s suspected murderer, Tyler Monroe, is in town.
To everyone’s surprise, Damien extends an olive branch to Tyler, but peace is short-lived.
As Damien and Mairead attempt to make a fresh start, they remain blissfully unaware of Tyler’s dark intentions.
Tyler begins to plot his revenge, setting the stage for an astounding showdown that has profound repercussions for some Carrigstown residents, which will keep viewers on the edge of their seats!

Determined to shake off her troubles, Carol joins the girls for a Christmas night out, but her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets charming newcomer, J.J.
Sparks fly, and Carol ditches the girls to spend the evening with him. However, their connection wanes when Carol finds out that J.J. isn’t the handsome stranger she originally thought.
