    did anyone say a prayer for her when she was in danger of losing her mansion?
    what was the problem anyway. does she not have a job that could pay the bills and mortgage? she really must believe she has the common touch.
    I was amazed to see that her daughter apparently is a member of some well known and successful singing troupe...could she not bail Mammy out? After all Mammy has done for her darling's career?

    She's a member of Celtic Woman, I think.

    In todays Sunday Indo,Twink claimed a female RTE personality came on to her.
    Is Twink trying to sell a book or is there some other publicity she needs?
    Now the tongues will start wagging as to who this personality is.
    My money is on a newsreader.
    Any other suggestions?;)

    Suspect last seen leaving the area wearing sunglasses, carrying a white stick and being led by a light coloured labrador who was wearing a hi-viz dog jacket...

    yes, my first thought was a newsreader person also

    as a panto star, i dont think twink would get too much interest from the more classically trained actors (eg people who appear regularly in the Irish soaps) but a newsreader may well fancy her , since they would be from different orbits within the RTE multiverse so no tempermental creative conflicts there.. It's just how i imagine the politics and sexual tensions might work within rte

    I remember watching a play at the then Point Depot and Twink, Late Gerry Ryan and OTT were in it, oh and Barney too, anyway cousin's mate was on it and he got us backstage to meet the various acts etc.. met with Twink and she wore one of those knitted tops (old style ones that holes are big enough to see what's underneath) I could see she wasn't wearing any bra made it so obvious.


    maybe someone wanted to feel mellons and felt the wrong ones:eek:

    That woman has some serious mental problems. Bi-polar disorder methinks.

    No I think she's just a weapon of the highest order.

    I'd be beyond mortified if I was her kid.

    Have to say I found some of her revelations cringe worthy.

    Having said that, this could be due to my own inability to have the necessary insight to realize that she may have done so genuinely thinking that it could help others and who am I to judge her, if so.

    I think it unfortunate that she was unable to articulate her past suicidal tendencies without having to include such very private details regarding her girls, which must surely have been difficult for them to watch, not to speak of how it would also force them back to a period in their mother's life which they would most likely prefer to leave in the past. Perhaps not. I don't know them or how prepared they were for such revelations.

    She does come across as someone who has had a hard time and it shows, so regardless of her level of ability as an actress or an author for that matter I am sure that like everyone else, she does have a side to her, which because of how she projects herself publicly, we are unlikely to see.

    Perhaps and if so, then she deserves our compassion and understanding.

    I am amazed that when the guests are in rehearsal with the host before the show, that it would not be suggested that certain topics be treated with more sensitivity, or even omitted. Obviously not in this case.

    Someone obviously believes that the viewing public want to hear such revelations regarding the private lives of others, so hungry is their appetite for such stories. Many would call this intrusive or even a type of voyeurism, so I guess it takes all kinds and all kinds are being catered for it seems.

    We need more interesting subjects on the show, but it seems that money is an issue here.

    Yes! ha, that must be it!

    Why do we have to have the same people on that show? They are dragged back, plugging their books, next show, series, or whatever.

    I switch on basically to see the guests that come on in the last hour or so as they are thankfully usually interesting with a topic which is relevant.

    A perfect case in point is the young man who discussed his condition with such clarity. He was indeed a worthy guest.

    Not many do. According to the radio this morning a grand total of 167 copies of her book have been sold.

    Had only read about this but hadn't heard it till now, what a horrible vile nasty person. How can she repeatedly call an innocent child that.

    Nasty piece of work, and RTE keep plugging her, time to cut the cord I think.

    Ah here, if you were married to that wagon you'd be spreading yourself around a bit and all. Merciful Jesus I wouldn't ride her into battle, but imagine the man waking up next to her every morning. :mad:

    I twink she was sometwink of a famous personality a wong time ago, but she's had a lot of strife and combat with vawious people awong the way and now she's weduced to doing pantomime in Limewick. Sad, really. I hope I never end up like that.
