This is so sweet!

Fair City’s Stephen O’Leary has opened up about the sweet way his mum helped him prepare his audition for his role on the show.

“Usually when I have to do a self tape, I get one of my actor friends in Dublin or one of my buddies near home to help. But because I was home in Cork, I had to wait for my mum to come home and we did the scene together. He said, “One of my first jobs out of college was The Field by John B Keane in The Gaiety Theatre. Geoff Minogue, who plays my on-screen dad Tommy, was in that production so we knew each other before I started on Fair City.

“We all got along so well. Geoff had been in it for years, so he helped calm me down and show me the ropes, you know?And there was trouble brewing in Carrigstown this week as a hungover Damien crashed the company van into a bollard — and Zak was on hand to witness it. Later on, Damien pressed Zak on the situation with the van repair — and lied to Rafferty to cover his tracks, which sparked its own complicated web of lies.While the Carrigstown resident has landed himself in no shortage of trouble over the years, Stephen told how he reckons there’s something different this time around.

“And I think that we saw a small bit of that around Christmas, when he had that storyline with the character Maria. I think viewers saw a different side to Zak then, where he had a bit more sense about him and it was a nice storyline.Stephen told how he reckons Zak is driven by “money and getting up in the world” and how the Carrigstown resident is a “lovely part to play”.
