Stephen McCoy (fair city)

branie

Remember when his mother, Noeleen, sent him to boarding school so she could see more of Gary Maguire? That storyline has really stuck in my memory.

Mr E

The guys and girls in the Soap Opera forum may have a better memory for that stuff.
I'll move this thread there now.

branie

Anyone?

pookiesboo

Wasnt Noeleen in a cult?

branie

She was, but that was after she sent stephen away

branie

Stephen was seven when he went to boarding school

jos28

He was mentioned a couple of times afterwards by Kay and Malachy but that's it, I reckon. Although come to think of it, did he come to stay with them on his summer holidays ??

branie

I remember Kay was shocked at the idea, but later, she gave Noeleen the money for the school fees

Two Noeleens.
Two Kays.

No credibility.

Any relation to the McCoy's that used own the pub there? Who's running that place now? I havnt seen Christy in ages, did he ever marry that Carol one? She was a bad one all-right,,

branie

Stephen was the grandson of the orginal owner of McCoys; Kay was his stepgrandmother

branie

If I remember rightly, the school was in Dún Laoghaire

moy83

Is this Stephen thats the barman now ?

branie

No, that's a different Stephen

As far as I remember Noeleen died at the top of a hill or something like that and I think Stephen also died....or went to live with his father is the States.

Yeah Noeleen committed suicide, and Stephen left to go to a boarding school(rte.ie/tv/faircity2008/stephen.html). It was left open for him to return, but the actor and his agent never followed it up. He went onto bigger things. Staring in the film '32A', TV Series 'Rock Rivals', and is now over in London, in his final year, which he will go straight into The Westend Theatre from. Down the line you should see him again on your Cinema/TV screens, so keep an eye out.

Darragh Fallon, the first actor to play Stephen went off the radar after Stephen and Noeleen left for the cult's headquarters

If I remember rightly, the name of the cult was Church of the Children of the Eternal Light

Does anyone remember what Noeleen said to stephen, when he told her he didn't want to go to boarding school?

Are you by any chance preparing for Mastermind with "Fair City in the 1990s" as your specialist subject ?

branie

Just wondering.

branie

I don't think John Humphrys would have heard of Fair City :-)

branie

If you do remember what Noeleen said, let me know :-)

branie

Here's a picture from the storyline:

branie2

That doesn't jog up memories then?

Radio5

When and to whom did Kay eventually sell the pub?

branie2

Kay selling the pub has nothing to do with this thread

The Parish priest

As Stephen was a baby at Christmas 1990, that means he was only 4 years old going to boarding school in 1994, typical fair city logic......

branie2

He went to boarding school in 1997

I'd like to see those episodes on Youtube
