It's all over apparently, at least according to Lawrence Kinlan, who played Elmo on Stuart Carolan's hit drama, but sure he is only a bleedin' rat anyways.

In an interview with Independent.ie Kinlan said; "Nidge is definitely dead. He’ll never be back, and I don’t think the show will ever be back.

“It was great while it lasted. I hope they don’t bring it back because it ended on such a high and it would be nice to keep it that way.

"You would want it to come back for selfish reasons."

It had been thought that while the show wouldn't return this year, a sixth series may still be on the cards, but with Traveller Patrick at the helm, who of course was the one who offed Nidge at the end of season five.

We can't help but agree with Lawrence that it may just be best to leave it on the high it went out on, but at the same time, we do still think we might get on board with any of these theories...
