Fair City on Thursday: 'Just get over yourself!'
The drama begins when Maxine tells Sash that Ian and his wife used a sperm donor to have their baby, as Ian struggled with fertility issues.
When Ian learns that Maxine shared details of his private life, he lashes out - in McCoy's.
"You're not the first man in the country who couldn't get his wife pregnant, alright?!" says Maxine in front of everyone.
"Plenty of couples go down the sperm donor route, so just get over yourself!"
Fans can find out what happens next on Thursday on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player at 8:30pm.

National Athletics Championships 2025 RTÉ2, 5pm Paul O'Flynn is at Morton Stadium in Santry to present live coverage of the event. Sprinter Rhasidat Adeleke was the star of the show last year — but who will catch the eye this time around? All Creatures Great and Small RTÉ One, 6.30pm Is it the end of the road for Carmody? Maybe not — he's been offered a position in London, but thinks he might be better off staying in Skeldale. Meanwhile, Mr Bosworth discovers something shocking and Doris asks James to treat a ferret. Fleadh25 TG4, 9.30pm We're off to Wexford for five programmes of highlights from this year's festival of Irish music. The first edition sees Doireann Ní Ghlacáin and Peadar Ó Goill take a look back at the provincial finals held in Ballinasloe, Drogheda, Cork and Warrenpoint. We'll also hear from some up-and-coming talents. The Shop Around the Corner BBC Two, 12.40pm Classic romantic comedy starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan as co-workers who can't stand the sight of each other, little realising they've been beloved pen pals for years. The film was re-imagined as You've Got Mail in 1998, with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the lead roles. The Menu RTÉ One, 9.30pm Dark comedy-drama starring Ralph Fiennes as a superstar chef who runs an exclusive restaurant on a remote island where his latest patrons are about to get a nasty surprise. Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult co-star. Hunting The Yorkshire Ripper Prime Video, streaming now Not to be confused with Jack the Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe shared a taste for misdirection and was ultimately facilitated by a Wearside Jack, whose notes and tapes led the police astray back in the 1970s. Fifty years later, retired detective Chris Gregg assembles a cold case team to hunt the impersonator who kept Sutcliffe's crimes alive. Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 Netflix, streaming now Frankly, I don't mind that they're starting to get repetitive; it's still appointment viewing every week in Chez McGinley. In 2019, a joke Facebook event to 'storm Area 51' went viral, drawing millions and triggering warnings from US authorities. Indeed, it does sound exceedingly similar to last month's Real Project X instalment, but I'm still here for it. Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes Netflix, streaming now 'Tis the turn of David Berkowitz's police tapes to get an airing. This chilling docuseries unpacks the Son of Sam killings, exposing Berkowitz's disturbing mindset he unleashed on 1970s NYC. Brady and the Blues Prime Video, streaming now Prime appears to be chasing some of that Welcome to Wrexham magic with a new sports docuseries featuring NFL icon Tom Brady. Mind you, this could be entirely different given Brady, at 3.3pc, is very much a minority stakeholder in Birmingham City FC. Perfect Match Netflix, streaming now Netflix's biggest reality stars – from Love Is Blind to Too Hot To Handle – head to paradise to search for love (or more followers) in a strategic dating showdown. So, like Battle Camp but with more bikinis. For more 'unscripted' drama, WWE: Unreal takes fans inside the writer's room for a look at the chaos behind the curtain. Leanne Morgan's world flips when her husband leaves after 33 years. Menopausal and newly single, she leans on her family – especially her fierce sister Carol (Kristen Johnston) – to tackle this next chapter with Southern grit and lashings of 'jello salad'. Chuck Lorre is involved, so it can't be too bad.
