“What I wouldn’t do is move anywhere to try and start again, I should have done that in my late teens but I stayed here and got Fair City very early on. “
However, soap star Sorcha admitted she would consider a move if it was the right fit and Hollywood came calling.
She said: “I would go on auditions and maybe if I got offers then I could make the move, but at the moment I’m extremely happy in Carrigstown and everything else. If it was something I really wanted to do I wouldn’t say no.”
But for now Sorcha would love to work with other Irish actors such as Love/Hate’s Tom Vaughan Lawlor and Peter Coonan.
