Bryan Murray shares Alzheimer's story to help others

The 73-year-old, who plays Bob on the RTÉ One show, told the magazine that it is"not the end of the world".

Murray, who also starred in RTÉ's adaptation of Strumpet City and UTV/RTÉ co-production The Irish R.M., was joined for the interview by his real-life and onscreen partner Úna Crawford O'Brien, who plays Fair City's Renee, as they recounted events leading up to his diagnosis. "We were both touring with a play, Halcyon Days by Deirdre Kinahan," Crawford O'Brien continued."I noticed Bryan's lines were difficult for him. He'd get irate if I were to say anything, so later, on holidays, I asked if he'd get his memory checked. He had the tests and got the diagnosis.""The producer of Fair City, Brigie de Courcy, said they'd do anything they could to support me.

Next April, Murray will be back on the stage where his career began - Dublin's Peacock Theatre - in a new play written for him by Deirdre Kinahan.

All good wishes to Bryan.

I honestly wish all the best to Bryan and his family. I know it is not an easy journey. God bless.
