Really? Why don't you put a link to an audition video and let us judge for ourselves?0 -

Caoimhe, that new Kelly girl, amongst others, are terrible. *I* could act better than Caoimhe. There is acting talent out there, but there's a stigma attached to Fair City. A lot of the industry think it's rubbish. One of my lecturers refers to it as Fair '****ty'. Actors, directors, whoever, have a habit of seeing themselves as being above FC - which can lead to something of the rubbish calibre that sometimes presents itself in their productions.
I study TV and Media Productions. We were discussing job prospects, and all but me decided they wouldn't want to work in Fair City as it isn't "good" enough.
Shoddy workmanship doesn't entirely inspire pride.
There is great talent in Ireland - Fair City just need to work harder to find, hire and promote them, thus revolutionising a programme that could be great.

Do you want to work on any Soap Opera?
This is a usual post about Fair City as though it is supposed to be some amazing TV series, its a Soap Opera.
In fairness to the Fair City actors I have seen some of them on the stage and they are often much better. I can't comment on the ones you have mentioned.
The main prob is lack of Script Writing talent which could be nurtured on Fair City, but then there should be other serials doing the same.0 -

I would be happy to work for any soap opera, Fair City included.
Evidently that post came across much more negatively than I intended. All I meant is that Ireland has a wealth of talent and that Fair City (and RTE) should do everything in their power to tap into it.

I must admit I am kinda warming to Val maybe it is because of her scenes where she is besotted with Leo

I can see that you are far more qualified to offer your opinion on this. I'm sorry. I didn't wish to irritate you with my own views. There is a great wealth of acting in fair city and in Ireland. Actually, Ireland has to be one of the most talented countries in terms of the arts. I accept there are not the most polished performances on fair city from some actors at times. However, I was just trying to focus on the strong actors in the cast really. I respect your view. Forgive my attempts to create an unrealistic impression of the show. It was really only a personal view. I would be very unfair to you if I expected you just to simply agree with everything I said. Thanks for bringing a different approach to this. It is certainly interesting to get a different perspective to my point of view. I welcome an informed view definitely.0 -

I'm not in the least any more qualified than anyone else and you honestly needn't apologise. It's a matter of opinions is all. I wasn't irritated by anything you said, at all. I just went on a bit of a (kinda negative) word-splurge.
There are some good actors, for sure. Bryan Murray is always great. Ray and Wayne are criminally under-used. The actress who plays Dearbhla Dillion has some serious potential. There's good things about FC, for sure, there's just times where it could, and should, be better. 0 -

all those actors mentioned are really, really great. but not everyone can be great... cos then we'd have nothing to talk about and we would get boredare you being serious or sarcastic i cant tell?

It was great seeing Denzo back, albeit briefly...
I have to say I really dislike Rebecca as a character, she came across as extremely rude and not a bit grateful to Carrigstown for remembering Sarah.. she had a cheek to excuse Bob of trying to get her into bed when she did the same with both Barry & Bob!! :eek:
I love Decco the most, he makes himself a very believable character and he is one of my favourites in the show.
I love the Bishops so great seeing them back on screen... I prefer Esther's wig to her real hair
Last but not least... Happy Christmas to all on this thread... and all the best for 2012 0 -
