'I bump into people on the street, they say, "You're on Fair City, I don't watch it myself"'
Maria Oxley Boardman is already waiting at a table when I arrive at the hotel. We text, because at first we cannot find each other. “I’m going to stand up. I might be a bit hidden,” she messages. She stands, I see her waving, and wonder how I possibly missed her. It’s not just the tall, striking, model thing; Maria has been playing Dearbhla Dillon on Fair City for four years now. Even if you don’t watch the show, her face is likely to be vaguely familiar. She gets stopped and recognised all the time, she tells me.
