For those of you who are Irish and who watch Fair City or see it occasionally, you, like me, will know that 95% of the actors are rubbish. Who do you think are the worst?

It's a toughie I know

I think I'd have to say Sorcha and Jenny. Neither of them show any emotion when delivering their lines, especially Sorcha. She's part of such a ''big'' storyline and she does it really pathetically. She should NOT be there.

Also, Nicola's son Oisin is really bad. He has that same stupid voice on him all the time He's the kind of child you really want to tell to shut up.

Any other opinions?

Oh I agree theres loads in there, Sorcha and Jenny are the worst actresses I've seen in Fair City for a while I think. Sorcha is like a robot or something. Leo Dowling is the WORST though. He is an atrocious actor. Harry Malloy is also bad but I've kind of gotten used to being bad, its expected of him really isn't it lol

Decisions.. decisions. Jenny and Sorcha are hopeless.. But who remembers Damien's sister Laura, (a.k.a Darth Vader)? Nobody has ever been as bad as her IMO.. Also the guy who played Darren was awful, he was Yvonne's little brother. Oh yeah, have to agree about Leo Dowling and Harry too..

Oh definitely, Laura is bad, I'd slap her across that sarky little face of her if she were my sister, with her nasely voice and stupid glasses lol

And then there are the gangsters that shot and killed Derek the 3rd or 4th LOVE OF MY LIFE Niamh's boyfriend.
Actually it would be so much easier and take less time if you were to think of the good actors in this soap.
So lets see there is .............still waiting...............no can't think..............still waiting.......................truth is there are none.

I'm usually the last to defend Fair Shitty.. but in fairness, it has a few good actors and actresses. Just not enough to overshadow the numerous chronic ones.. The following characters IMO, are well-acted: Carol Meehan (she's probably the best in the show), Bella Doyle, Rita Doyle, Jimmy Doyle (well, he's not too bad..), all the Phelans, Niamh, Paul, Dermot (the one amusing character in the entire show), Damien, Mags, Mike and Robin. Err.. so we've about 15 rays of hope out of 50. (well, there are 50 characters listed on the Fair City site.. but some have left, and some new ones are omitted..)

Very generous tonight Garbage Ok will give you Carol she is a good actress. Jimmy Doyle has been around for so long now I'm totally enured to him so I can't say if he is good or not. Rita wrecks my head and should go back to Moore Street and sell her fruit and veg not be annoying me on telly. Dermot is funny and can be good when the need arises. The rest of them............ off to Dunsink dump with the lot.
