HO Brendan the rubbish 'gangster!'
He is like something out of The Commitments.
There are so many things wrong with him and his storyllines that bug me.
1. The ridiculous facial furniture under his top lip.
2. The fact he hasn't got a Northern Irish accent despite him and Cheryl being brother and sister.
3. The fact that a supposedly savvy sister doesn't know what he's really like. I mean they're supposed to be really close.
4. How he was able to set up/rob Malachy so easily.
Also while I'm at it, why didn't Ste (yeah remember his anger management issues) didn't stand up to Brendan or at least punch him back.
I really hope Brendan is in it for the short haul as he is beyond irritating!

Ah so I never knew this, ok then the accent thing can be explained away.
I'm not a moustache fan so maybe that's why I find him a bit creepy. Don't think he's intimidating at all.
I'm with you all the regarding the moustache. It feels like it takes up half the screen when hes talking!
I don't find him all that intimidating either but I'm interested to know who the silent partner he set Cheryl up with is.....
I'm not really buying him as a hard man though, I hope he becomes more realistic as a 'villain' or he doesn't stick around for too long!!!
Give him a chance- he's only been in it 5 minutes
also your comment about the commitments- do you think that all irish people sound like that or is it just him because the commitments were from dublin and so is the actor who plays brendan so therefore they would have similar accents and it's not like he can help his accent
IMO he seems pretty good so far- sinister and quite chilling
the actor who plays him is well known in ireland and has done quite a few things here
It all just seems cobbled together without any proper thought to the character at all.
he came from southern Ireland, the rest are from northern Ireland
Malachy has an idea of what he's like I think esp since veronica was with brendan when he met her
They have exchanged looks about him before havn't they?
I think they know what Cheryls like and theres no point arguing with that.
I havn't formed a proper opinion on him yet but did anyone else find it funny when he did that sort of growl at Rhys? I think that was supposed to show him as some kind of hard man but just me laugh.:D
Scanlan is totally right too, he does have one of them faces!!!
Yeah but he's still family, he met Malachy and Mercedes when they were at Mals mums in Northern Ireland and came over with them it seemed, so he has been living in northern Ireland it seems.
Just seemed strange that Malachy was happy to bring him back as a big surprise for Cheryl and not know what he's really like considering Mal and Chris's mum seemed to know everything about everyone back in chester it just seems strange to go from that to knowing nothing.
people in ireland can be from the republic and still have family in the north- My great aunt is from Leitrim which is in the republic but married someone from the North and so I've family there with northern accents but I have a southern accent
Has anybody else considered that the silent partner is actually Brendan?
So Brendan is Danny Huston, now that'll be a good twist
I'm not quite sure what your point is?
We know they are family and we know they are at least from different areas of Ireland and Brendan has definitely lived in Dublin at some point, but Mal and Mercedes were over in Northern Ireland and it was there they met Brendan and from there Brendan decided to come over to visit Cheryl.
Someone said if he had been living in Dublin then Mal, Kris and Lynsey wouldn't really know him, my point was that he was in Northern Ireland when Mal was there until last week or the week before, so he could've been there longer, and so the small-town gossip should still have allowed Mal to know he was bad news.
On a stupid note...
He looks like he should be a dwarf but he's not. I'm not trying to be offensive to anyone but that's just what I think of when I look at his face.
As long as he doesn't start singing about gold, like all the ones round here do, LOL!!!!
I think that is 4 too long in my opinion.
I have given him a chance and I just think he is a poor actor and does not look intimidating at all, that tash and slicked back 80s hair cut hardly sets him out as someone to be scared of, as gangster he is not.
I am not sure if he is meant to be the new "bad boy" following Warren, but if he is meant to be that then the producers are sadly mistaken, as the amount of time he has been in it already he has proved himself to be poor.
I know it is only my opinion, but I cannot see him doing anything to change my mind as well, as I guess when you take an instant dislike to a character and the actor, nothing will change your mind.
