Fair City is moving from Wednesday nights to Friday nights

Fair City launches new schedule as it gears up for a summer of sizzling storylines.

Fair City fans take note - this summer the much-loved soap will be broadcast on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

The change comes into effect from Sunday 12 June, meaning there will no longer be a trip to Carrigstown on Wednesday nights.

The move to Friday at 7:30pm follows ITV's revised schedule for Coronation Street and Emmerdale, and BBC's EastEnders.

Having reviewed RTÉ's soap schedule, the decision was taken to move Fair City to Friday nights to ensure that viewers can continue to enjoy four episodes, four nights a week.

There are "plenty of surprises, shocks and returning faces" in store for Carrigstown

Teasing what fans can expect this Summer, Fair City Executive Producer Brigie deCourcy said: "Emotions will run high with the heart-breaking story of Anto Collins' gambling addiction, how he deceives and weaves in and out of his lies.

"Damien and Mairead struggle to manage sugar daddy turned property developer James Rafferty as his elusive father remains just that, and by the time we reach our anniversary in September, Carrigstown will once again be thrown into even more drama with plenty of surprises, shocks and returning faces."

Fair City, now in its 33rd season will celebrate its 34th anniversary on Sunday, 18 September.
