I wonder if this guy would fit a part in Love Hate?

Id agree. Alot of complaining about the fact a few ex cons were used in the show but to be honest for authenticity purposes i have no problem. They have served their term firstly and people would complain if the scene didn't look realistic.

Received the box set as a christmas present and have watched it all
over the last few days. Wasn't so fussed on Season 1, but stuck with it
and Season 2 was a serious improvement, where the show grew in confidence,
and Season 3 was the best of the lot. Glad Nigeweasel didn't get the deadener though,
for me he's at the heart of the show and would really miss his scenes with Fran.
Also looking forward to Fran finding out about Nigeweasel and Linda Mark 1.
Definitely the best series from RTE to date, fair play to all involved.

I would like to see a main man come in who doesn't take drugs. A smart guy who can take over for a good while.

JohnboyMc · 01-01-2013 12:38pm

I knew The Dazzler was alive. He was at the New Years Eve concert in College Green last night!

Lucy and Harry · 01-01-2013 12:58pm

That was a bullet proof kevlar hoodie he was wearing so he did not die.

"but the 'RA girl, Lizzie, shot you Daz,
she filled you full of lead.
Takes more than guns to kill a man,
said Daz, and I ain't dead...
...said Daz, and I ain't dead"

sung to the air of 'Joe Hill' :rolleyes:

Can we have a whip round to shoot Daz again, just to make sure

It's the Nidge weasel...with hair :O

He looks like Alan from Two and a Half Men...

He also looks like the chap that was shot and killed last week.

Got a new T-shirt for Xmas.... Hope Fran approves

05-01-2013 12:37am

LOL. The Sunday World actually have put a nickname on the lad who was clipped (in real life) last Friday. Christopher 'Git' (or Gih) Warren

Do any of these gangland figures actually have a nickname or is it only when the Sunday World report on them?

EDIT: Look at the picture of Paul Warren in this link... the spit of Dazzler

Anyone know where I could see/hear an interview with Tom Vaughan Lawlor? (the actor who plays Nidge).

I'm eager to hear his real voice, because I've been told it's almost like Edwardian-English...miles aparts from his Nidge accent!

I've looked all over Youtube and checked the "Behind the scenes of Love/Hate" clips but nothing.

There's a bit of him speaking normally there. It's fecking bizarre, like a completely different person.

Edit: Turns out Nidge's missus is northern as well. Didn't know that.

I feel they killed off Hughie way too quick too.

I hated Hughie's guts. He got what was coming to him the spanner. I didn't really feel bad about John Boy dying because he was getting psycho. They didn't dwell on it a lot either.

Jaysis, Love/Hate is good, and probably the best thing RTE have ever had a hand in (Glenroe & Reeling In The Years notwithstanding), but on a par with the top echelons of the big hitter American shows it is not.

Brian Gleeson had it nailed. He kept S1 going on his own imo. Had he not been as unpredicable and volatile the show could have been well doomed to failure imo.
Nidge wasnt as central to the plot in S1 so therefore didnt have as much impact despite the odd funny moment.

Hughie wasnt as funny as Fran or Nidge despite one or two good lines. Truth is he was absolutely despicable and thats the sign of a real villain. He probably mirrors alot of real life characters all over Ireland.

s1 John Boy was well in control but when his deputy Hughie went he spiralled quickly out of control.

Would have been interesting to see how John Boy dealt with Git and the RA alright but if truth be known is there probably wouldnt have been too much of a story there. Aido gets shot, John Boy wouldnt blink an eye as like Nidge he knew they were 'taking on a whole army' and if Dazzler retaliated he'd be clipped. Besides, Darren only retaliated in order to show his loyalty to Nidge and the gang. He was blinded to the faults in Nidge whereas he knew John Boy was scum.

In fact had Darren not pipe bombed Dano's car outside the Napper then there probably wouldn't have been need for any interaction with the RA only to pay them the extortion money every now and then. Nidge and the rest were too cowardly to get involved with them whereas Darren was a fearless liability.

Dano and Darren almost run as parallel albeit on the opposite side of the fence. Both are absolute liabilities who do things off the cuff against orders of their bosses but purely down to loyalty and commitment to their respective 'causes'

RTE did catch up substantially by showing it though.

I think that American shows on the whole have been using the same formula for decades, so are well used to churning out shows conveyor-belt style. They've got it down to a fine art, but not all of them are better than Love/Hate despite the money thrown at them.

You can get it on DVD fairly widespread I would imagine or from the RTE shop.

HULU in America have it to stream I think.

One criticism I have of the American shows is that the plot based ones, well they 'lose the plot' in a manner of speaking. Revenge, for example, started off with so much potential but its now going round in circles. Still watchable but people are starting to get frustrated. In one way the American tv companies almost have more money than sense.

Sometimes a small stream can produce better quality fish than a river, a lake or even a sea and basically RTE/Octagon have churned out the finest of Salmon in Love/Hate.

The beauty of Love/Hate is while there is continuous storyline within a series, it doesn't feature as much in the next series. You have elements of John Boy popping up this series but only serving as a means of being a vehicle to Nidge's increasing paranoia and stress.

I do think however the RA could feature next season and that is because they practically own Nidge's ass now. He'll be gun running and what not for them from now on. Fran is totally off their radar and that infamous bony finger of Gits could well make another appearance.

Very very interesting to see what Stuart Carolan does with the next season and thats another beauty. You'd wonder just what is he going to churn out.

I think that John Boy's long-lost psychotic brother should be invented and introduced after he busts out of some foreign prison after twenty years for drug trafficking and mass-murder. :eek:

Nidge's character seems too weak to play the hardened gangster, and Fran went from being an out and out villain to a comedy character.

Ah I wouldn't go that far with Fran, yeah they really upped the comedy level with him but he is still a total psycho.

It fits with the story too, he just got out of prison is trying to get back on his feet and have a bit of fun. There are still glimpses of how crazy he is e.g with Donna and holding onto Git's finger.

Basq · 08-01-2013 8:06pm

Started last Thursday on the first episode and have been watching an average of 2 - 3 a night... so am starting episode 3 of season 3 tonight.

It's a damn fine show it must be said.. although did laugh at each season ending with Darren potentially being killed or.. well, being killed.

Aidan Gillan's accent waves wildly between American and Irish.. but I'll forgive him as John Joe was a cracking character... don't get me wrong, wildly OTT but just a sheer mental case that was great fun to watch. Best thing about him was that every time he stared intensely at a character for longer than 2 seconds without talking, you'd get the impression that character was a goner.

Sheehan is very good in it but Lawlor as Nidge steals every single scene he's in.

Unfortunately just can't warmed to Killian Scott as Tommy.. he can't do moody and deliver dialogue without chewing the scenery.

Wasn't really a fan of Fran when he was introduced initially but am loving the comedic side he brings to the show... the show would be a helluva more run-of-the-mill without himself and Nidge with the one-liners.

Unfortunately, social media and various newspapers revealed all about the end of season 3.. which was unfortunate but unavoidable.

Anyways, gonna finish the 3rd season over the next few nights.

Agree. I think hes a great actor too.

knucklehead6 · 08-01-2013 9:44pm

When you think about it, what's the timeframe for season 3? Can't be more than a few weeks.

That would explain the comedic aspect of Fran. He was in jail, got out in EP1, and was out for fun before rattling back into his previous life.
