Ross commented: "I really hope Damien catches Dean & Mairead."
Another viewer added: "Dean and Mairead getting very risqué. Next thing you know, they'll be at a Coldplay concert."
Elsewhere in Carrigstown, James continued to lie about his debt problems, telling Emma and Rafferty that he has things under control.
AFFAIR CITY
In reality, he was missing out on his loan payments, but Ger signed the lease for her new shop and warned James she wouldn't cover him if he slipped up on his repayments.
When James received a threatening message from the moneylender, he tried to act tough, assuming Ger would keep the loan shark off his back.
However, to his surprise, James was beaten up when the lender came after him.
And Holly was disgusted when she came across James after being assaulted, but assumed he was in bad shape as a result of drinking too much.
HARD WORK
With Pete gone, Ray insisted he and Doug could manage the garage alone, but Dolores and Erica were doubtful.
After a stressful shift, Doug admitted he was struggling with the added pressure of taking over the car sales.
In an effort to relieve their pressure, Dolores tried to get Pete to return to the garage, but he refused, claiming he was still frustrated by Ray's controlling ways.
Later, Doug urged Pete to come back to work, explaining that things weren't going well without him.
But Ray remained stubborn when Dolores proposed a compromise to let Pete run the sales department.
Following this, Dolores warned Ray that the current set-up in the garage was not sustainable.
A frustrated Dolores told Pete that he has one final week to decide for certain if he will return to the garage.

Richard Hogan: Don't let schadenfreude make you forget there are real people affected
FERRIS Bueller's Day Off is one of my favourite movies. I think we all know the story: A teenage boy takes a day off school and has a great adventure. It's nearly 40 years old. But, even in 1986, long before technology stole our privacy, Ferris was filmed on the jumbotron screen catching a baseball at a game while mitching off from school. Little did we know that all these years later that pesky jumbotron would be wreaking such havoc in people's lives. The recent scandal of the tech CEO (Andy Byron) filmed with his arms around the HR chief (Kristin Cabot) of his company on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert has sparked some interesting public discourse. Of course, the impact of an alleged affair on all of the people caught up in its dark orbit has been lost in the media frenzy. In all the chaos and jokes about this incident, there are innocent spouses and children. Think of the embarrassment and discomfort of the children as they hear about their father or mother's behaviour. They have had to consume a shock viral image of their parent wrapped in the arms of a co-worker. No child should have to see that, and especially not without warning or preparation. I'm sure those children have also had to listen to the injured parent's hurt and then try to make sense of all of that pain. That massively impacts on the mind of a child. I cannot imagine the utter confusion of the children since that image went viral. When children are brought in to adult situations, it can erode their sense of fidelity and goodness. In my experience, working clinically with the fallout of affairs, children often come to believe everyone will let them down, and they start to distrust people. It is very difficult to witness the damage that adult behaviour has on children. But to have it so globally exposed, to have the world commenting on your parent and making jokes about their alleged infidelity, that is something different altogether. The impact of affairs on the people hurt by them has always been a silent issue. We love the juicy gossip of the affair, the voyeuristic thrill of watching people making a mess of their life. But we're less interested in the damage done to people. And it does damage. I have worked with so many people who have come to my clinic to try to get some understanding of why this happened in their relationship. I'm often sitting with the injured party as they experience an existential crisis. Did their partner ever love them? Was any of their life together real? They struggle with concepts of trust, and they grapple with being able to believe their partner again after being let down so gravely. They also question their own sexual identity. They want to know what led their partner to this act. Depending on how long the affair has been going on, it can be one of the most psychologically disturbing events a couple can experience. It rocks the very foundation of the relationship, and is the reason why most couples break up. But people love to laugh at the lives of others. The German's call it 'schadenfreude' — the delight in another's misfortune. It's one of those dark impulses in the human species. There was definitely a sense of glee on this occasion, because it involved a wealthy businessman publicly filmed with a woman who was not his wife. But there was very little thought for the other partners in this story. People were so absorbed in the ridiculousness of the two people trying to hide their transgression — by covering their face or ducking down — that they never stopped to think about the wife or partner at home. There are real people in a story like this, enduring real hurt and pain. Usually, that pain is experienced in private, with the support of family and friends. But not in this case. And that's another thing this event has brought in to focus: Questions about privacy. Andy Byron's wife has opted to remove all of her presence on social media, such has been the impact on her life. Andy himself has resigned as CEO of his successful start-up, Astronomer. The fate of Kristin Cabot has yet to be revealed. But she is currently on leave. A moment at a concert has caused devastation for all involved and has also dragged the issue of privacy in to public discourse. We're in the digital age, where our activity is constantly monitored and recorded. Should Mr Byron and the person he was embracing have been broadcast all over the world? Do we have the right to go to a concert and remain anonymous? I know what a lot of people will think: 'Well, if you are not up to anything untoward, you have nothing to worry about'. But the right to privacy is an important right and one we should not give away easily. All of our data is being mined at all times and monetised for advertising online. We have less privacy today than at any other time in our history. Our every move is recorded by some device. I don't know about you, but I think there is something incredibly uncomfortable about this entire story. Of course, the moment on camera, and the hurt that has caused, is part of the discomfort, but also how easily someone's life can be devastated because their privacy was taken from them.

Most read in News TV She added: 'I'm used to not being accepted. I'm used to being on the outside. I'm used to being on the fringe. 'We can't fix it by burying our head in the sand or cowering. Maybe we didn't have a choice before because I think a lot of people didn't have a choice when they're younger or they didn't have resources or whatever.

To speak on the things that make people feel unsafe.' She said we have to speak up 'because look at when other people have spoken up in ways that we don't like. It's enabled other people to speak up. You know what I mean?' While she has been a main star on the show since the beginning, Kirsten said when she first started acting, she was told that she would never be a main character. The star recalled: 'I remember a person told me at the first professional audition I ever had that I was never probably going to make a living doing this until I was maybe considerably older or. And even then I would just take character roles. ACTING WOES 'And I remember being a little sad, but then also feeling free because I was like, well, I'm not supposed to go do this for a job, but I have to keep doing it.

Even her own family were not sure acting was for her, and just before she got the call for Criminal Minds, her mother and sister staged an intervention dressed as a vacation. She recalled: 'I oftentimes was missing my rent. I couldn't afford my car payment. None of it. And they said, 'we're going to pay for this. "But we're telling you right now that the whole reason why we're going away on these two days is we're sitting you down and we're telling you, you have to quit acting. You can't do this anymore.'' BIG BREAK But before they were due to go away, she got a call that changed her life- and the small part as Penelope Garcia ended up being a main star of the show for 18 seasons.

Oh, my God, I'm not even a person on this show without him.' The 53-year-old returned as Garcia for the new version of the show, Evolution, which just wrapped its third season. "It's just a lovely place to work . I mean, I've loved every single person I've gotten to to be with. "Even, you know, sometimes personalities clash, but it is truly like a family where you're like, I know that they might drive me crazy in this one way, but I deeply care about them and I have a good time with them, and everybody wants everybody to do well, you know, and it's a real pleasure.'
