Nev was also a horrible character in Line Of Duty! I too took some time to get used to liking him in HV Smile

Shows the calibre of the actor, doesn't it? @seagulldown . Can't get the creepiness from under your skin.

Cheers @TwoMonthsOff - enjoy!

but what about Kevin weatherall Vs Mick in Benidorm 😭 again proving what talent we have here

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 20:23

I need a Benidorm fix now 😭😭😭

Is it possible that Darius and his brother were friends with TLR way back when Becky "got in with the wrong crowd", as Daniel put it? I can't even type where my thoughts are going with that one...😢
Would that shared history explain why Darius has sprung him, although agree with others that TLR is probably more of a liability to him now he's trying to gain some respectability.

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 20:28

@bettytaghetti
many PP’s have said it would be good for a prequel to be written…..I think it would be, the writers have surely bumped that idea around.

I loved George Costigan ever since The Beiderbeck Affair, but he was a really horrible, foul, Fred West type in Scott and Bailey, and he played that character so well it even colours my view of Nevison. It took me a long time to come round to Nev being a goodie.

People have been speculating on Nev being the one who got the phone in for Tommy and that he is the Top Man in the OCG - but do you think there's any chance that he will be the one to "off" Tommy - beating Grandad Beetroot, Darius, Catherine, Claire and Our Ryan to the punch?

Show quote history

Ooooh that would be grand if Nev bumped him off!!

TiaraTaraxx · 01/02/2023 20:36

I thought the same for the first series but persevere, it gets really good in the second series after all the storylines and relationships have been set !

Hels20 · 01/02/2023 20:50

Gosh - had no idea Nevison Gallagher was Patrick Fairbanks in LoD.

Sean was the classic ‘bad boy’ and good looking ,photogenic in his younger days, he’s a brilliant actor and he hasn’t gone down the route of veneers and Botox and hair plugs, I do think he’s a presence in everything he’s been in

Amazing in Dead Man Walking.

Agreed- very good actor, but I don't think Kev will haunt me the way that Nasty Joe from S&B does. I really still find it hard to watch George Costigan without seeing that character.

Steve Pemberton was also excellent in the re-makrr of Mapp and Lucia - he had big shoes to fill though. Georgie will always be Nigel Hawthorne to me. (Was still sorry they didn't complete the full books though)

Was just coming on here to say that. He was unbelievably creepy as that character aswell. Glad he's back as Nev!

Deadringer · 01/02/2023 21:48

Sean Penn is a great actor but not attractive imo, he is all nose, chin and elbows.

Sean Penn looks like Fenella the witch from Chorlton and the Wheelies.

Tigresswoods · 01/02/2023 22:17

I can't go all the way back in this thread but I'm going to assume someone has already bought up "Rita, Sue & Bob too"?
