what would you do with this crack. I'm not sure if its been filled as i didn't do it but its still noticeable. I don't know whether to just paint over it or to open it up and then fill it with plaster and then paint it. 
Would you just paint over this ? I dont know the history of the crack

Presented with a crack like that in plaster, I would enlarge the crack, brush in dilute PVA (in the hope of "gluing" the edges of the loose plaster to the brickwork). When dry I would fill with toupret flex and fill (it is available in tubs or caulking tubes). It is like a caulk with reinforcing fibres. Like caulk it shrinks back. Leave it for a day or two to shrink back. Then fill with a filler of your choice.
I have only been using it for about 5 years, I have been very impressed with the results. Particularly because I haven't had customers phoning me to complain a year or two down the line.
