Well-known Roscommon woman stars in Centra Deli Drama

Well-known Tulsk B&B owner Anne Sheerin, aka Daniel O’Donnell’s biggest fan, is starring in the finale episode of Centra Deli Drama – Ireland's newest soap opera which was written by Castleplunkett woman Sharon Mannion.

Centra has brought deli life to the small screen with the launch of ‘Centra Deli Drama’. It’s Ireland’s newest soap-opera inspired ‘dramedy’, exclusively created for social media and bringing the entertainment and true ‘Irishness’ of community life to audiences everywhere.

In the finale episode released today on Centra’s social channels, viewers are treated to a cameo performance by Anne Sheerin who is captivated by Cork hurling legend Patrick Horgan, just as she was by Daniel O’Donnell.

Written by comedian and actress Sharon Mannion (Bridget & Eamon), Centra Deli Drama stars Jennifer Zamparelli and Cheryl Fergison (of EastEnders fame), alongside a cast of familiar Irish faces and surprise cameo guests appearing in each episode - from a famous Father Ted priest Neil McCaul (A.K.A Father Terry) to Paudie Moloney (The Paudfather), the breakout star from RTÉ’s The Traitors Ireland.

Filmed in Centra’s Drumcondra store in Dublin and featuring Centra deli staff and a star-studded line-up of performers including Amanda Stewart (Young Offenders/Hardy Bucks), Carl McGuire (Penny Dreadful), Sorcha Morgan (Fair City), Job Oueno (Vikings) and David Nulty (The Tudors), the series celebrates what Ireland’s leading convenience retailer, Centra, is best known for - its people, quality deli food and playful Irish spirit.

The "Centra Deli Drama Finale - ‘There’s more to life’" is serving up a last helping of pure Irish pandemonium. This episode features surprise appearances from Daniel O’Donnell’s biggest fan alongside hurling legend Patrick Horgan.

In this episode Sarah unexpectedly goes into labour right by the deli counter, turning the store into a scene of utter chaos. Amidst the excitement of a new baby, Sharon's attention is still gripped by the missing lottery ticket, especially after Josh admits to having found it, only for it to have disappeared once more. Adding to the commotion, Liam's past as the person who famously slipped on the RTÉ Six One news is finally brought to light. A memorable cameo also features Daniel O’Donnell’s biggest fan (Anne Sheerin), whose enthusiastic focus shifts to GAA hurling legend Pa Horgan....’he’s here, he’s here’.

The episode’s biggest twist arrives as Mrs. Whelan makes a dramatic exit in a luxurious black Mercedes, revealing herself as the true holder of the winning lottery ticket. While Sharon experiences a heartfelt reconciliation with her long-lost sister, her lottery dreams vanish, leaving her visible disappointed as Mrs. Whelan drives away.

Centra Deli Drama comprises four hilarious two-minute episodes, with the finale episode having dropped today. Tune in on @Centra_Irl (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube).
