King Nidge is dead but ‘Love/Hate’ may live on

It’s official — King Nidge is dead, but fans may yet be treated to a sixth season of Love/Hate.

After a typically bloody season five finale, a reported 1m RTÉ viewers were left wondering if Nidge survives after being shot at point blank range, in front of his family, by his Traveller pipebomb-maker nemesis Patrick.

We didn’t have to wait long as Tom Vaughan Lawlor, who plays Nidge, confirmed in a statement that Sunday night’s final scene was his last.
