A terrified Mark informs Suzanne that one of her sandwiches is haunted. "It was shouting 'Kylie! Kylie!' in a Donegal accent," he declares. "Then it jumped up and punched me in the eye."
I still see Dominic when I see a sandwich in Fair City

The Doyle Family change allot and Rita seems to be stuck up stairs
And Victor Burke was changed when Harry died.
Hi Elmo
Rita is in a nursing home. Suzanne and Bela have both spoken at various times about paying the fees for the nursing home. And we saw Yvonne visiting her there a while back.
I know Yvonne was changed years ago. The original Yvonne was played by Sarah Flood's sister in real life. But Ciara O'Callaghan has played the role since 1989.
I don't think any other of the Doyle family have changed, have they?0 -

Suzanne looks seriously scary.
Think I'll be watching this one through my fingers, yelling at the TV;
"For Chrissake, Damien, DON'T FORGET THE PASTA!!"0 -

They leave. Its not real life. In every soap this happens, no need to pick on fair city because of it. Some actors leave, they don't want to keep the character so they axe them. That is life, you can't have people just dropping back in just to visit their mother. You need to bring them back because they add something to the show or have good storylines.
Jimmy's days were well and truly up. The actor lives in America now.
A good murder is what they need. Who Kill Jimmy is more interesting than What Happened to Jimmy he looks different? I remember Jimmy going to play football in England only to return as a new actor
I agree soap actors come and go but I do think it is a bit strange that one of the main families don't seem to return for special occasions e.g. the death of their Granny.0 -

You could say the same about Eastenders, only Phil really has stayed in the family home for years, Grant didn't come back for weddings/births/funerals. You can't bring them back if the actor doesn't want to come back and in my eyes pointless, just to recast someone, for a funeral and then have them leave again. Even Sam had 2 different actresses playing her!
Child/Teenage actors change all the time.
See no reason to pick on Fair City for us, all the soaps do it. Its the name of the game in soap world. It isn't real life.0 -

Meh! Doesn't bother me when they change cast. Like I'm used to new Mark now and to be honest the old one was a terrible actor. So he's an improvement. What annoys me more in FC is when cast go missing for months with no explanation.
Anyway moving on to talk about the show. I loved every bit of the Robert story. I've really warmed to Dean again after all the cheating. The end scene last night with Robert Dean and dolores was lovely!! I just want to give Robert a hug!!!
What's the story with Avi, if he's there for a bit of eye candy, he does nothing for me!!
Thing is these actors have other commitments, like they need to to plays and what not, I wish Fair City would at least make some excuse to where they are rather than not mentioning them etc..
Avi is as wooden as a brush, maybe they should pair him & Felix up

I think Avi is very nice in comparison to the other actors. Look at his big manly arms and shoulders. Yummy!
Check out the pictures on his site. God damn...

Tracie x 5
Tracie's kid x 3
Nick x 3
Rosie x 2
Sophie x 2
David x 2
Sarah Lou x 2
I don't think FC has a huge actor/character changover tbh, I think they've handled each change fantastically.The Doyle Family change allot and Rita seems to be stuck up stairs And Victor Burke was changed when Harry died.sandwichboard wrote: »Hi Elmo

Here we go again...
Here's the list. I think it's a lot of changes.
Noeleen McCoy
Kay McCoy
Mags Kelly (after one season)
Dolores Molloy (after one season)
Wayne Molloy
Jimmy Doyle (after one or two seasons)
Yvonne Doyle
Darren Doyle
Farrah Phelan
Farrah Phelan (again)
Seamus McAleer
Ciara Mannion
Dean Dowling
Floyd Phelan
Sean Cassidy
Rachel Brennan
Bernie Kelly
Mark Halpin
plus at least three cases of the same actor playing two different characters.
1) Dr Bowen / Mrs Mannion
2) Dolores Molloy / Judith Dillon
3) Phil (Pascal's carer) / Unknown (orderly in hospital looking after Pierce)0 -
Neasa would look good in a binbag....FACT!!!CaptainNegative wrote: »Yeah and she played a crazy bat in that too... Great actress though.
Thought Robert buying the knight because it wasn't on the list, was great.
What's the story with Dean getting told to get lost by everyone lately? The other night in McCoys, Suzanne told him to take a hike and then tonight Robert's ma telling him he should go home. Ongoing joke or coincidence?
You really notice how horrible the McCoy's t-shirt is, when they put it on someone attractive, don't you? It's an awful shade of green to be honest.0 -

maybe he said "your age" ? he certainly is no teenager! definitely looks near 30. he sounds kinda french (accent wise) in a way.. where is he meant to be from?
not looking forward to suzanne batin damien out of it! i hope mark eventually catches her in the act!

I suggested this one on twitter...
Meet the actors: Seamus Power.
This month we will be interviewing Seamus Power who plays Dermot Fahey.
Dermot Fahey: local politician, community ambassador, hen-pecked husband. But, when the things Dermot treasures most are threatened, he's not afraid to stand up.
If you would like to ask Seamus anything please email your questions to faircity@rte.ie, with subject line, 'Seamus Power' Interview, or tweet your questions to http://twitter.com/RTEFairCity.
We will select the best questions and put them to him.
The deadline for questions is Wednesday 3rd of November.0 -

People generally don't go into the acting business because they want a steady job till they hit retirement age. Most actors are so flaky that herding them into the same studio for two consecutive seasons seems like a heroic achievement.
Some of the people on your list were off-screen for a good while before the character was revived. I imagine that's when it's hardest to get people to come back. THe original Dean Dowling, whose name escapes me at the moment, certainly seems to be doing very well in theatre. I've seen him in the Abbey a couple of times. He was in Eden too.
The interesting thing for me is that they made such huge changes after one season. Dolores, Mags and Jimmy must all have been major characters even then. Changing them overnight is a lot more serious than Bernie Kely coming back from Canada with a different haircut. Do we know what happened?
I am just guessing here but they launched the show and probably decided that those people didn't suit the roles and they made changes. Jimmy was young surely at that time so child actors change a lot.
From what some of the cast said on a set, a lot of them auditioned for one part, didn't get it but got a different part in the end shows that they were not suited for one character but suited to another.
I think when a show launches, you bring in who you think suits it but then after some time, you may think that a change is needed. Anyway it has all worked out in the end 0 -
