It's that time of year again, when we all must analyse and discuss every single image taken from the set of Love/Hate in an attempt to guess the forthcoming season's storyline. It's terrible craic altogether. Sadly this year there is no 'Darten' speculation to be made, that poor fecker is long gone, although the rumour mill has been rife saying the cast will lose another major character in the next season. AND it's been said that this is the penultimate series too. Pretty sure this is grounds for meaning anything can happen though. Oh dear.

Everyone seems safe and well so far however, if these pics are anything to go by. Check them out below!

Here's Nidge and the lads on the bus, so we know there's going to be a bus involved.... hmmmm.

Fran and Elmo's missus hanging out....Affair? Affair!

And now we can see them hanging out in a 'Strictly No Parking/Loading Bay Area Only'.... the mind boggles.

Oh no wait, she's back with her fella in this shot, but no wait, look who's beside her...

Here's Nidge with some new recruits, ah no, these are just fans of the show, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor being sound out.

But it's not a real photo unless it's a Selfie these days...

The man himself...

Frano again...

And Elmo! His real life lady just had a baby too yesterday! See pic below...

 Aww...
