    Leo has actually done numerous Rules Of The Road Videos.

    He demonstrates all the hand signals in the car.

    Also can be seen working part time on the weekends at Dublin Airport directing the planes in on the runways.

    lol lol

    I think he's the second worst behind Dominic... He sounded like he was having a heart attack when he tried to cry when he left

    I love Leo! Turloch was hilarious as well. It's quite addictive Fair City. I watch it most nights. What's Dermot's wife called? She's hilarious, she just gives out the entire time. And then there's the writer who had an affair with her brother lol! again a total pain.

    I love Fair City though, it's so bad it's funny.

    Is Dave Duffy, Fair Citys 'Leo Dowling' Irelands worst actor ? I ask this because recently friends of mine were visiting from abroad and happened to catch a few episodes of Ireland's very own soap. They unanimously agreed that Duffy was the worst actor they had ever seen on any television programme, anywhere in the world. Now I know Fair City is awful, and Duffy is a brutal actor but I wonder could he be the worst actor in Ireland ? Nothing personal to the guy by the way, hes getting paid for being awful so I guess he is pretty greatful to be still allowed to even grace our screens.


    I would not agree when you say that Fair City is awful, but would agree with whoever said that Duffy was a bad actor.

    The father of that new family in Fair City, the grey haired lad, is equally as bad as Leo... The rest of the family are passable, but he is really awful..

    Dominic was a LEGEND! Absolutely hilarious - he sounded like a guy having an asthma attack every time he spoke!:D "Tracy ya w***e!" hehe:D

    I don't watch Fair City because I think all of the acting is just pure cringe......
    It does my head in!!!!

    If anybody is actually a fan of Leo Dowling, or if you just want a good chuckle, then check out this clip from Young Indiana Jones chronicles. He plays the part of 'the worst irish barman in history'. His finest moments are at about 0:40 and 5:50.

    What really annoys me about Leo is his enthusiasm in EVERY sentence :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,378 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    He's so bad he's good!

    So hammy he is in danger of being smeared in mustard and slapped between two slices of batch white.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,654 ✭✭✭shadowninty


    Typo in the OP, worst mixed up with best.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭el diablo


    Leo is a terrific actor/musician. I won't hear a bad word said against him.

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    Leo Shovel hands is funny. I don't mind him at all, i know he is a terrible actor, so bad that he's good. Its Bella Doyle, Charlie Kelly and his stupid wife that really annoy me on Fair City.

    Surley the accolade of worst actor in Fair City needs to go to that wierdo that is Pete's son. How come nobody is mentioning him?

    Jimmy was pretty poor considering he was in the show for so long. He never improved. Like Rachel, he takes after his mother, Rita!:)

    Best actor now? Dermot I think is and always has been the most solid actor.

    Rita was so bad she was comical. She was reading her lines from a cue card half the time. And that "Yeah" when she answered a question. Towards the end it was all she ever said. No wonder they replaced her with a bell.

    Dermot?! Not atall. Pete! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 392 ✭✭Yangedd


    I was watching back on Youtube and Dermot was really bad at the beginning, but he's come a long way since then and seems to have grown into the roll. He's certainly better these days than when he first arrived.

    She always looks like a rabbit caught in headlights and doesn't know where to look. I think it is mostly because she never smiles that annoys me, but of course that is her part, so it is probably unfair to blame her and not the script writers. I have seen her recently all dressed up and she is quite attractive.
