Blackie Connors Blackout

    I can't find any pictures of Blackie Connors on the internets or the google.

    There are pictures of Miley, Biddy, Dinny, Dick Moran etc, but none of Blackie Connors.

    I even found this fella. I think it's Blackie's cousin, Johnny Connors.

    Is anyone else currently experiencing the same outage?
    Are Blackie Connors pictures down for everyone else?

    I choose to appropriate this at face value.
    You are very very welcome my good man! :D


    It's so depressing, I think because it used to be on Sunday night's and that meant the school week was almost upon us.

    He's obscured by credits at 25 seconds and is turning away at 1:06.

    He's very elusive.

    One of my favourite lines from any soap opera was spouted by Blackie Connors. Upon hearing of Johnny's missing dining table, presumed stolen by another group of travellers, Blackie claims that it's ''probably down in Rathkeale by now'' :D Classic!

    Well, Biddy and Miley were characters in Glenroe, so I'm assuming Blackie was too
