This is a time I remember well, this should be interesting.
Gerry Adams voice was always dubbed, when we finally heard his voice it was so disappointing, we all preferred the actor 😆
The Price sisters were famous (or should I say infamous?)

Update for American fans - Say Nothing premieres 14 November in the UK on Disney + and on HULU in the US!

Oh congrats to Damo!!! It will be very good to see him in this more serious type of drama & my son has Disney :D Agree with u Ellie :) in Ireland we know the history very well. Looking forward to an accent closer to his own!!!

Say Nothing is available to watch now, on Disney + and Hulu! 

 

I have just finished binging  📺 on Disney+ (couldn’t help myself!), and wow – what a powerful, compelling drama. The story dives right into The Troubles and follows the Price sisters through some intense and deeply moving scenes. I found the portrayal of Dolours and Marian especially engaging; they really carry the story with such raw emotion and complexity, and their journey feels both harrowing and inspiring.

Of course, I was really excited to see Damien’s new role. He plays Stephen Rea, Dolours’ husband – a significant role, but I have to say, it’s disappointingly brief! His character appears only briefly in 2 key episodes, and while he adds depth to Dolours’ story, it feels like there could have been more for him. Still, he makes a strong impact with what he’s given, bringing that familiar charm and intensity we know and love.

Damien first appears in episode 5, “Evil Little Maniacs,” where we catch a brief glimpse of him as Stephen Rea, an actor whom Dolours notices while at the Royal Court Theatre watching his play in London on the night before the bombing. His role expands in episode 7, “Theatre People,” where he and Dolours meet and begin a relationship following her release from prison. While the series doesn’t explicitly depict their wedding or the dissolution of their marriage, we later learn from Dolours in episode 8 that their marriage has ended—a storyline informed by real-life events—as she grapples with the emotional aftermath of her choices and the toll of her trauma.

I’ve post a few screen photos below (not screenshots, actual photos of my TV screen, apologies for the quality) to give a peek of Damien, check out his hair!

 

 

 

 

 

p.s question for those who remember Damien's very early work - is anyone else having a 'Tis Pity She's A Whore moment?
