Dallas and Happy Days stars film Irish pub documentary with visit to iconic Cork bar

Dallas star Patrick Duffy and Happy Days actor Linda Purl have been on a tour of Ireland and recently made a stop at one of Cork City's most iconic pubs. The pair, who have been in a relationship since 2020, posed for photos in the famous Hi-B bar. They are believed to be filming a documentary about Irish pubs. The TV stars previously visited Ireland in 2022 to trace Duffy's Irish roots and to film the pilot episode of a new TV series. Duffy shot to fame in the late 1970s and 1980s when he played Bobby Ewing in the hit American soap Dallas. Purl is best known as Ashley Pfister, Fonzie's girlfriend, in the US sitcom Happy Days. Posting a picture on social media, the Hi-B said they enjoyed a "great morning of filming" with the two stars in the bar. "Really looking forward to seeing the documentary at Christmas." The Hi-B, or the Hibernian Bar, is renowned for being one of the smallest pubs in Cork. Located on Oliver Plunkett Street, the bar has become synonymous with its mobile phone ban, with staff encouraging punters to enjoy conversation and each other's company instead.
