    Guy's this has to be some dream sequence, no way Johnboy was just sitting around with the lads having a few with the state of mind he was in???

    Check out this interview from Tom Vaughan Lawlor "NIDGE" Huge difference in the accents. Definitely my favourite character though. http://www.rte.ie/ten/2011/1127/lovehate_tomwaughanlawlor.html

    If it was a dream sequence then Love/Hate isn't the best show on RTÉ, it's one of the worst.

    Well that episode caught me off guard, I think we may see a few twists yet in the JohnBoy story.

    It's like a social experiment, "If Nidge Had Been Born In Blackrock"..

    BTW, it wasn't money that Nidge took from underneath the decking, it was the deposit receipts for the money being lodged offshore in the scheme his new solicitor advised John-boy to do. If it was money it was a very small amount!

    No, no, Nidge has come good in this series. We never saw it coming, he offed John boy. Nidge is the star of this series. Looking back it was obvious. He got Darren to kill John boy. Now in series three we'll have Nidge as the Don.

    This series is brilliant, the Sopranos of Ireland. As good as anything we see from the the Brits or the Yanks.

    I went for an audition in the original series, despite being a Dub all my life. I failed the accent test. My biggest regret.
    As good as the sopranos? Come on now.

    I think John boy was the least convincing gangster ever and probably the worst character in the whole series :confused:

    Oh and Fran too, terrible acting.

    I think the acting in general is really poor. Ths storyline is all over the place also.

    Good riddance to him, he was becoming increasingly erratic as time went on and he was getting on every one's nerves.

    John is definitely dead I'd say, he was shot in the cheek and his eyes were open. I think the whole thing about the monitor is a metaphor to show that Nidge might not find it as easy to deal with Johns death as he thinks - he was kind of laughing taking the keys out of Johns pockets on the pub floor and when he was going through the apartment - I think the when he saw the video it was to show his "oh crap, what have I done" moment.

    I think the way they wrote John out was great - it was very abrupt, but that's how it happens in those circles in real life, isn't it? The writers are saying "none of the lads at the top can ever trust anyone, and as viewers you can't trust anyone either"

    Cracking episode, I was thinking about it for ages last night after it finished.

    John boy had to be there so it looked like he had nothing to do with the killing.
    Him just standing there was to do with he knew it was Darren and the whole I trust you there all rats comment he knew he had got stabbed in the back in his eyes.

    If John boy died all the problems go away and no one cared if he was dead.

    nah, look at john boy's and darrens chat. he said if you do this were square, you wont need to pay anymore money. would he say that if he meant himself? plus he said your the only one i can trust, what the only one i can trust to kill me? dosent really add up???

    Yea your right Rochey18 JB gone everyone's problem is gone, Have to agreewith Shane10 there aswell, I was beginning to really like Fran in the last episode the look on his face in the hospital was of pure madness gave me a chill in the spine I will say but very disappointed there he got sent down for a glass incident, no way would a guy like that be hanging around for the Gardai & no way the bartender would of grassed him up! Can't see where this is gonna pick up for the next series unless a new top dog comes along to replace JB, the made a huge mistake writing out Brian Gleeson "Huey" he was amazing.

    Yea I love the character Fran should of gave the Nitch Weasel a few slaps after having a word with him, maybe a look down with "Tell that Johnboy I'm gonna get him, ya hear me" Fran looked weak there being all niceties to Nitch.....Can't believe the difference in Nitch's accent from the real guy Tom Vaughan Lawlor!

    Everyone seems so amazed that the actor who plays Nidge doesn't have that accent in real life.

    Have you never heard an actor do a good accent before?

    Even in Gangland most of them don't want or need trouble from each other,there main aim is to make easy big money, also he was full of drink then and hoping it all was a mistake and everything can be glossed over,we know how the drink can make us all mellow and that everything is grand.;)

    I think we've all been brought up on terrible examples of RTE luvvies attempting to do Dub accents, and failing miserably, so it is a bit unusual to see someone actually pull it off. And it's not just the accent - everything about Nidge screams knacker - the hair, the clothes, the wife, the way he moves and drives etc.
