Talking Derry Girls

Marie-Louise is being an individual on her own in New York City! She says she misses Jeanie and Pauline but distracts herself back stage with actor Matthew Broderick who is in a play with a “Derry Girls” connection!

Only one of the Talking Derry Girls goes on a Road Trip this time. Marie-Louise heads to NYC, where she sees the American premier of David Ireland’s play “Ulster American” . David is a writer and actor who played Clare’s daddy Sean Devlin in “Derry Girls”. ML goes back stage to meet actors Matthew Broderick, Geraldine Hughes and Max Baker, and director Ciarán O’Reilly, at the Irish Repertory Theatre, off Broadway.

The Talking Derry Girls spoke to Roisin after the series premiere in Belfast and wondered how she felt now that six months' work and a year in production had reached an audience.

In How To Get To Heaven From Belfast she plays Saoirse the writer of a hugely successful crime drama The Murder Code. Together with Robyn and Dara she forms the trinity of friends with a shared past that they might rather forget.

She is engaged to the director of her show, the very dull Seb, but can’t help flirting outrageously with the hot cop Liam. Who could blame her?

The Talking Derry Girls chatted with Darragh before the series premiere and wondered how he was feeling prior to the launch.

He plays Garda Liam Kells aka The Hot Cop, with a sideline in mechanics. Diet Coke break anyone? 

In ‘How to Get To Heaven from Belfast' as Garda Liam Kells, he has left Dublin in mysterious circumstances and is now stationed in the sleepy Donegal village of Knockdara. ( Directions available on request)

He gets to flex his investigative and actual muscles as Saoirse’s will they/wont they love interest. Interrogation and taking down of particulars a speciality.

He certainly got the measure of the TDGs.

The Talking Derry Girls caught up with Caoilfhionn prior to the red carpet premiere in Belfast.

For How to Get to Heaven from Belfast she plays Dara, one of the leads, friend of Robyn and Saoirse. She is the live-in carer for her mum.

She is gay but suffocated by her Catholicism. All in all she's a hot mess of friendship, faith and fear! (All similarities to the Talking Derry Girls are purely coincidental!)

Robyn is one of the Holy Trinity of friends alongside Dara and Saoirse. 

She is formidable and has THE best wardrobe. A woman who manages to slip in manicures and highlights between school runs and doing the laundry for 3 boys. She is smart, self assured and ‘effs and blinds’ like a sailor with a Belfast accent. 

The Talking Derry Girls caught up with her before the series premiere in Belfast . The chat soon turned to friendship, Tayto crisps and just what is in that pink bag…
