RTÉ confirmed in early August that new episodes of the long-running series would be back this month, with viewers seeing new stories and dramas unfold as the programme reflects life in Ireland with Covid-19.
Tonight’s episode saw Pete learn Seán will not be continuing his lockdown dance classes, while Bob received a worrying phone call. Dolores also noticed the bond Bronagh and Will forged over the pandemic, while Doug and Erica's co-habitation proved to be a struggle.

Production on the show halted in March as the pandemic reached Ireland, however, cast and crew have now returned to Carrigstown in line with HSE and Government guidelines.
Production has resumed in line with new safety procedures to prevent the spread of Covid-19, to the delight of many viewers.
I just loved that episode of #faircity, superb episode by Carmel, it's so wonderful to have it back. Well done to everyone for getting it back on screen. Brilliant stuff.
