CITY TALK RTE Fair City star lifts lid on behind the scenes filming and reveals ‘iconic’ character he wants to return

He told RSVP Live: “There’s a lot of repetition. You can film something so many times and you think you’ve moved onto the next scene, but they have just changed camera angles and they are doing it all again from a different angle.
“That is where our skill comes in as actors, to keep things fresh and make it sound like it is the first time we have said those lines every single time.
“That is what we are there for and that is what our training allows for.”
George also revealed the one former cast member he’d love to see back on set – actress Hilda Fay, who played Tracey McGuigan on the show.
He said: “She is iconic and I think she is one of the finest actors that Ireland has ever produced. My god, if I got a chance to dance with her on set again, I would absolutely love that.”
The actor also shared a story line that he would love to see with his character and his on-screen dad Ray.
He said: “They need to go to Gaelteacht for some reason and they end up in Tígh Thaidhg’s having pints in Ros na Rún.
“It is the crossover episode we all need and I am putting it out there. We have to make it happen.”
RTE Fair City viewers were all left saying the same thing after Mairead and Dean rekindled their romance.
In last night’s episode, James faced a serious threat from his money lender, while Ray and Doug thought they could manage the garage alone.

But Dean denied anything is going on with Ger and admitted that he still cares for Mairead.
