Quotes
Beverley Callard
Actress and Fair City cast member describing her loss of consciousness on set
“I've been at work this week, filming the most amazing scenes, really good, great scripts. It was all going swimmingly and then today, I've no idea what happened to me. I was all ready to start a new scene, we just sat there getting ready, about to run lines, and I sort of… the only way to explain it is I lost consciousness for a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes, which was very odd.”

“I'm awaiting the results of these other tests, some of these biopsies they've taken from my stomach. If anyone else has had this please let me know because I don't know at all.”
