Are you missing Johnny Ward’s character in Fair City? You certainly wouldn’t be the only one, and Johhny Ward himself has shared his thoughts on his possible return to the show.
Last year, the actor returned to his role as kidnapper Ciarán Holloway for the show’s 30th anniversary, and now Johnny is thinking of a permanent return – as fans have been seeking a comeback.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Johnny revealed, “They miss him, and that’s what I am getting a lot.”
He continued, “People saying, ‘You wouldn’t go back into Fair City, would you?’ And I say, ‘Why? Is it not good?’, and they say, ‘Ah no I just want more kind of violence and grittiness and stuff like that’.
“But look, the first time I did it I got spat on, I got hit across the head by a woman down in Cork,” he said, referring to an incident when a fan attacking him over the kidnapping storyline.
“The second time around it was just people were happy to see him back.”
He then added, “It is very much a lovely family and I would go back in a heartbeat, I really would.”
