I watched a bit of The Irish RM last night. It was full of actors from Fair City and Glenroe and a few from The Field. It was better than I remembered and there were two little girls acting in it who were great little actors. I'd love to know if they were in anything else when they grew up.

If you remember the characters names you should be able to find them on IMDB and see if they're still acting.

Thanks. I don't remember them but maybe I could find out.

I really hope they don’t get rid of Fair city. It’s nice having an Irish soap.

We'd still have Ros na Run though, it's a brilliant soap, and you don't need Irish to follow it either with the subtitles. I'm a big fan of both but if I had to choose one over the other it would Ros na Run hands down - a far better soap in every respect.

Brian Murray is in the Irish RM. Murray seems to play a lot of slippery characters.

Corrie is still on air, Eastenders has just finished,, both are now filming again. While Fair City ended just weeks into the lockdown and we've had no indication of when they'll start filming again. Meanwhile RTE is crawling with repeats. Remind me again why we pay our licence fee?

RTE occasionally throw out a good Australian mini series and are up to date with programmes like Vikings and Condor but I honestly can't think of any other good reason why they are worth the license fee.

It’s great value to me personally. Apart from a small bit of Virgin/TG4/BBC I’d watch RTÉ the majority of the time.

What do you watch on it?

The so called home produced programmes are crap.

'Fair City when it was on' is right. Is it ever coming back? Has anyone heard anything about filming? The longer it goes on the less likely I think it is to come back.

Carols romantic liaison.

Plastic scouser?

It’s coming back with a smaller cast, no pub scenes, social distancing during filming, and Bob & Rene are the only ones who can snog because they’re together in real life. They were on VM1 this evening talking about it also.

Una carried on to say that Fair City "will reflect what's happening at the moment and that's good, that's important." - Mmmm

happyday · 21-07-2020 11:55pm

So vague and wishy washy. No date confirmed for filming to resume or for it to come back on air... but Bob can kiss Renee so that's alright. For God's sake!

Sorry it wasn’t meant to be, I just always find the refusal to read the Sun amusing when it’s someone from here.

It's an anti Irish rag but that's for another thread. Looking forward to fair city returning!

Its going to be strange but looking forward to seeing how they manage it. I wonder how small will the cast actually be?

Sean and Leo probably won't get the call!

They can definitely keep Leo in hibernation. They were bad enough for rotating at the best of times anyway before. You’d have a few on screen constantly for a few weeks and then it was like a bus pulled up and took them all away after dropping off another bunch.
