Robert Sheehan Is “A Lone Wolf” In New Love/Hate Series

Robert Sheehan has revealed that his character is going even darker for the new series of Love/Hate.

The actor, who plays Darren in the RTÉ drama, explained in a recent interview with TV Now how his onscreen alter ego has become isolated and has very little to hope for.

“Darren is this kind of lone gun for hire. But that’s the role he takes up… He has very much become a lone wolf. There is very little relief from this life for him in this series.

“Rosie and Mary provided some level of relief from the misery of their existence really but there is none of that now. Everyone has left him,” he added.

Robert plays Darren in the popular drama series which is now in its third series.

And it seems it isn’t just the characters that are getting more intense as the third series, which starts this Sunday, is said to be even grittier according to the Irish heartthrob.

“It’s become an angrier series, more volatile and it sees everyone go a little further down that road and lose a bit more humanity, and in that sense basically become a bit more irredeemable.”

But that’s all the 24-year-old star gave away as he revealed the show producers are still keen to keep as much as possible under wraps.

“We want to ensure people are watching it completely fresh, because there are so many twists and turns and elements you’re not expecting which are a big part of the pleasure of watching Love/Hate.”

That and of course the opportunity to see you Robert!
