In a recent statement, “This City is Ours” star James Nelson-Joyce expressed his interest in bringing back Sean Bean should the series be renewed for additional episodes.
Last Sunday, I tuned into the fresh drama that made its debut on both BBC One and iPlayer. This gripping series delves into a power struggle within a crime family based in Liverpool, all stemming from the demise of their leader and patriarch, Ronnie Phelan (Bean).
In this rephrased version, Nelson-Joyce takes on the role of Michael Kavanagh, Ronnie’s trusted lieutenant and eventual killer, opposite Jack McMullen as Jamie, the hot-headed offspring of the deceased gangster. Both characters vie for control over the criminal empire.
Although Ronnie’s demise serves as a crucial turning point for the plot, some viewers who are fond of Bean may find it disheartening to witness his character being written out once more. This observation is shared by Nelson-Joyce, who expresses a wish that we could have seen more of him in the story.
“Like, let the audience see how the good times were – that’s what I’m fighting for.”
In simpler terms, Nelson-Joyce shared that he didn’t mind Bean’s character being removed from the series, as he considered it a privilege to have acted alongside him during their time on the show.
Nelson-Joyce added, “He’s truly legendary, and a joy to collaborate with. It’s a privilege to be working alongside him.
During the filming of the violent scene, we felt a little sad too, since it meant parting ways with someone we enjoyed collaborating with.
Nelson-Joyce’s genuine admiration for Bean was evident in both his character portrayal and actions, with Ronnie taking on the roles of trusted mentor and caring father figure to Michael throughout “This City is Ours.
In the course of performing our death scene, I inquired, “Is there any way we could approach this with utmost reverence, despite the fact that I am supposed to kill him?
Instead of removing the glass from his hand, setting it back down, and straightening out his dressing gown, he subtly tended to him. Then, uncertain about whether to engage in a conversation or not, I whispered, “Ronnie, wake up.
