'Love/Hate' Season 4 Premiere Scores Highest Series Ratings Victory
07 Oct 2013 : By Kevin Cronin
Fran in disguise in 'Love/Hate' season 4.
‘Love/Hate’ producers and RTÉ will have cause for celebration today as last night’s season 4 premiere achieved an impressive ratings average of 971,000 viewers – confirmed to be the highest ratings yet for the critically acclaimed Dublin gangland drama.

The action packed episode - which featured a dramatic Tiger Kidnapping with Fran donning a terrifying Halloween mask - kept viewers on the edge of their seats, as Stuart Carolan’s series hit the ground running.

Last night’s figures represented a 53% audience share and a significant increase on the 630,700 viewers who tuned into the ‘Love/Hate’ season three premiere on 11th November last year.

‘Love/Hate’s previous highest ratings were for the season three finale, which aired on 16th December last year, which peaked at 953,000 viewers.

Producer Suzanne McAuley confirmed to IFTN last week that season four will consist of six episodes and a fifth season of the IFTA-winning series is already in development.

Last night’s episode also featured the TV debut of ‘Life’s A Breeze’ actress Kelly Thornton, who won the Bingham Ray New Talent award at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh.

Kelly's younger sister Robyn also appeared alongside her, as the siblings put on a convincing performace as their characters were held at gunpoint during the Tiger Kidnapping scenes.

Also of special interest to Love/Hate fans is a special series discussion panel being hosted by The Galway Film Centre next week, attended by series creator/writer Stuart Carolan, director David Caffrey and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, with further details available here.
