Awww remember the lovely Lana
Former Fair City star Tatianna Ouliankina was turned down for a role in Coronation Street -- because she was too glamorous.
http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/around-town/sorry-tatiannabut-youre-much-too-sexy-for-streets-of-corrie-1977083.html
So, let's see. She was called in to audition for the part of a down-trodden woman. She went to the audition in ballgown and tiara. The producers gave the role to someone who had read the script and made an effort to look like the character they wanted.
This gets translated into actress language as "I was just too glamorous!"0 -

All of my questions were asked so that's six of my questions asked
Dean Dowling has had as many women as he has had hot meals, but now the Cassanova is torn between Kylie and Tracey. Who will he choose?
We caught up with Michael Sheehan and put some of your questions to him.
What is your favourite thing about Fair City?
It's hugely challenging for an actor. The speed at which we work is unlike any other TV show in the country. We do two hours of drama a week! Movies get years to do that amount! I love the way something comes up in the script that frightens you, because you don't know how you're going to play it, but you always find a way. Someone said to me at the read through of the Christmas episode (which is fantastic) "What actor of your age, in the country, is getting such meaty scripts?" I feel very lucky and privileged. It a tremendous place to work.
What is Dean's favourite food?
I remember doing a scene where he was talking in depth about an Indian takeaway in London. So I'll say Indian.
What do you do when you are not in Fair City?
I'm very into Boxing and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu. Boxing is a big passion of mine, both participating and watching. I'm a bit of an anorak to be honest when it comes to that sport. I love it. I'm hoping to get to the States in March for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. Very excited about that fight!
Who are your favourite actors?
Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Robert De Niro, Mickey Rourke, Daniel Day Lewis and Tom Hardy. In theatre, Marty Rea and Ian Lloyd Anderson.
You have a very funny relationship with Robert, are you good friends in real life?
We are good mates yes. In Fair City, you are usually put in a dressing room with the character you will be doing scenes with that week. So, it always used to be Andrew (Troy), but now it's Sam. He's only alright!!!
How did you get into acting?
I was working as a trainee solicitor in London. I didn't like it. So I Googled "Acting schools Dublin" because I fancied coming home and always wanted to try acting. I applied for the first full time course that came up. Auditioned and got it. Did 2 years of drama school and that was that
Do you enjoy your scenes with Tracey?
I do. When I first learned of the storyline, I was delighted, because it was a chance to work with Hilda. I have learned a hell of a lot from her over the past year. I think she is one of the best actresses in the country, and it was a fantastic opportunity for a guy like me, who hasn't been in the business that long, to learn as much as I could from her. She has really helped me.
Have you a girlfriend in real life?
Yes I do. I actually met her on the set of fair city actually!
Are you similar to Dean in your way with women, or are you a one woman kind of guy?
I bet my girlfriend wrote that, just to check on me!
Are you a good cook in real life? And if so, what is your favourite dish to cook?
Yes, I'm pretty decent. I have some Jamie Oliver books and like to do a bit from them when I have the time. I do a fine roast chicken.
What would you say are Dean's biggest regrets?
I would definitely say, the Sandie affair and the resulting fallout with his father is his one big regret. He loves his father and still looks for his approval I think. I don't think Leo has ever fully forgiven him. Even more than Tracey or any woman, Dean's relationship with Leo is the one he values most.
Who do you enjoy working with the most?
Tracey, as I've said before. Dave Duffy (Leo) is a great guy and I enjoy doing scenes with him. He is very funny. Tony Tormey (Paul) has been great to me with advice too. He's been doing it 20 years so I definitely take on board what he says.
Why has Dean taken so long to break up with Kylie?
I think it's been a mixture of bad luck and the fact that he cares about her and wants to let her down gently. It's never an easy thing to break up with someone, especially if it's for her step mother, and he's finding it very hard to do.....at the moment.
Will Dean & Sandie ever start up a romance again?
Charlotte Bradley (Sandie) is a very beautiful woman, so I wouldn't be against it.
What would you like Dean to do over the coming months?
He needs to break up with Kylie first and foremost anyway, for everyone's sake. I just like to leave it in the hands of the writers. They do a wonderful job and its very exciting getting new scripts every week
Dean's juicy storyline with Tracey and Kylie comes to ahead in the next few weeks so stay tuned to see what happens.0 -

I really can't stand Dolores right now, she is making the character very unlikable especially ripping up the picture of Lara :mad: I always nearly type Lana when I say the name

This review of the week in Fair City has had me laughing away today:D:D
Finally, let's have a gawk at Fair City. Still trying to get Kylie to break up with him, Dean got Louie to 'refuse' him a few days leave for her fathers funeral in London *yawns*. Seriously, how does she not get the message? I mean, having to actually beg your fella to stay and comfort you in your time of need, now come on, even the worlds dumbest person would see that something wasn't right. Anyway, by the end of the week, Dean and Tracey realised that they were being selfish and agreed to attend the funeral. Niamh found out that the IVF wasn't a success. At first she played it cool, telling Paul that she wasn't upset and wanted to build a bridge. While having lunch with Connie and Yvonne, Niamh couldn't help with becoming uncontrollably upset that Yvonne was with child while she was unable to conceive. Dolores and Lara continued to bicker over Jane and while the later got a trial job at the Hungry Pig, she became furious that Malachy and his house mate were reluctant to believe she had turned over a new leaf. 0 -

Mean; just mean
Like look; whats not to like
Everything one could want; There has to be someone else who sees the sex appeal
Anyway.....more importantly Malachy needs to grow a pair. He's letting Dolores walk all over him; he should have told her to f**k off when she came home as he was heading out with Jane. Beginning to like Louie a bit more even if all the talk between himself and Dean about scratching each others backs was a bit off the wall.0
