Fair City heads into its 24th season with the return of the formidable pair of Renee and Ingrid.
The pair – played by Una Crawford-O’Brien and Vivienne Connolly – are guaranteed to cause havoc in Carrigstown in their own inimitable way.
Renee Phelan had gone with Heather and Eleanor when they followed Brendan to South America, following the latter’s conviction for the murder of Renee's son Floyd. But now she’s back!
“It’s exciting, “ Una Crawford-O’Brien explained to RTÉ TEN when she was asked about returning to Carrigstown during RTÉ Television’s New Season launch.
“Well, she’s going to cause a bit of havoc – I hope,” she says. “I’ve been in Brazil, so I’ll be coming back with a bit of a business as well and maybe for a bit of pleasure.”
Given that she's been away in Brazil, is there any chance that there's someone new and exotic in her life?
“For the moment, she’s single,” Una says rather coyly. “But things might change, who knows? But she does want to cause a bit of trouble.”
