Ryans Hope made television history this fall when the show sent two of their cast members to Ireland to tape the show! Michael Levin (Jack Fenelli) and Kate Mulgrew (Mary Ryan Fenelli) flew to Ireland in mid-October along with creators/headwriters Claire Labine and Paul Avila Mayer, and director Lela Swift. They traveled throughout Ireland, filming scenes for the shows that aired in late November and early December.
It was a hectic and hardworking trip for both cast and crew, who worked from early morning to late in the evening, every day of their seven day visit. But despite the hard work, it was a marvelous adventure for everyone involved.
The shows creators had always wanted to make a trip to Ireland and film members of the Ryan family in their ancestral homeland. Jack and Marys remarriage provided an extra special reason for the tripthe perfect spot for a romantic honeymoon.
Viewers watched as Jack and Mary toured the lovely Irish countryside, stopped at Blarney castle, pubs, and historic spots in Dublin and Limerick; wandered through castles and cairns; and visited relatives.
Congratulations to Ryans Hope for a charming and very beautiful daytime television first. |
