Stars bid farewell to Derry Girls: 'I love her and I will miss her very much'

As the final series is launched, Nicola Coughlan and other members of the cast explain why they'll miss it so much 
Stars bid farewell to Derry Girls: 'I love her and I will miss her very much'

Derry Girls: Nicola Coughlan, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, Saoirse Monica Jackson, Louisa Clare Harland, Dylan Llewellyn. 

It’s been six years since Nicola Coughlan stepped on to the set of Derry Girls for the very first time. A journey the actress describes as nothing short of “mad”, it’s a period that will forever be immortalised by plaid school uniforms, elaborate dance routines and the outspoken views of a particularly vocal Catholic nun.

But as audiences ready themselves for the third and final series of the sitcom, its cast are pensive. With the gates of Our Lady Immaculate College poised to close on their characters for the final time (or at least on television, given creator Lisa McGee’s big screen ambitions), breakout star Coughlan and co-star Jamie-Lee O’Donnell have already begun lamenting the loss of their on-screen companions.
