I liked her so much more as Phoebe than Elizabeth Carling

Dervla had so much more presence

[blitzandpieces]

If you like her you'll love this... Dervla is the guest star in the 2008 Doctor Who Christmas Special.

[Soujurn]

Haven't seen it here yet. Didn't she play the villain?

[blitzandpieces]

Yes she did, Mrs Hartigan..

[blitzandpieces]

It was Dervla's decision to go, I do think she regreted it though.

[glamatomic]

Definitely the best Phoebe! Elizabeth Carling ruined the character :(

[fulfillingdreamsx3]

I remember breaking down and crying like a child when her character died in ballykissangel. I loved the pairing of the her and the priest. I was so looking forward to the relatioship developing, but alas, it was not to be. Still a very good actress nonetheless at least in the few acting roles I have seen her in here in the States.

[Babsfanalltheway]

I don't think she sounds American at all - I think because she is married to a British man she has lost her broader Irish edge - she does a lot of things with an English accent so think it's inevitable to start loosing it.

[Georgiahulse]

Light Euro accent?

[marvellousmadser]

Really? I think they're quite understandable, especially a Dublin accent like hers. Although in saying that I'm from Dublin as well, so I might be a bit biased.

[marvellousmadser]

Do you mean the American accent that American's have? Or do you mean that she has an American accent? Some of the comments here suggest that she has one but I think it could not be more Irish.

[triffiks]

when working as a stage manager in london during the 90s i had the pleasure of working on one of her fringe shows at the Cockpit theatre in London. She became a good friend albeit for a short while. Discovered i was on my own one Xmas, gave me her phone number in Ireland and I rang her xmas day and talked to her and her sisters. Unfortunatley have lost touch. I cannot say how lovely this lady is in real life. Shes wonderfull.

[vaudevilleUK]

The American accent was significantly influenced by the Irish...

[Breeslave]

I love Irish voices, but, they are the most unintelligible accents in the english language. She has a beautiful easy on the ears voice with a light euro accent.

[alienatedfreak23]

my god..she was speaking irish. why on earth would she put on an american accent. this is the way she talks
