It was a very poignant moment.
Karl Shiels, who played Robbie Quinn on the RTÉ One soap, passed away suddenly last month at the age of 47.
Last night, viewers saw Robbie leave Carrigstown for a business trip abroad.
"Right, cab's outside, you
sure you are going to manage
without me?" he said to Carol, played by Aisling O'Neill.
Fans of the soap were heartbroken by this line, knowing that Karl will never grace the show again.
They took to Twitter to share their sadness:
The plot was rewritten after Shiels's unexpected death in July.
"We all miss Karl, who was a wonderful actor and friend, and Fair City will miss Robbie Quinn, who was a blaze of trouble and fun during his time in Carrigstown," said Brigie de Courcy, the soap's executive producer.
Shiels joined
Fair City in 2014 as bad boy Robbie and quickly became popular with viewers.
His character was involved in a number of major storylines during his five years in Carrigstown.
He was also widely known for his work as a theatre actor.
