Jordan was in his 80s when he passed.
Irish actor Tom Jordan, who played Charlie Kelly in Fair City, has died.
Jordan has played Charlie in the series since 1989, and planned to have continued acting in the role into the future.
According to RTÉ, Fair City executive producer, Brigie de Courcy, paid tribute to the late actor, hailing him as “the heart of Fair City.”
“This is devastating news,” de Courcy said in a statement.
“Tom Jordan was the heart of Fair City. He played Charlie Kelly from the very first episode and was a huge part of our plans for the future.
“A consummate actor, and a strong advocate for his colleagues across the industry, he will remain a legend for the viewers and for everyone who had the privilege of working with him. Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.”
