Christmas secrets, mistletoe, make-ups, break-ups and some very serious revelations are on the way for TG4’s Ros na Rún this festive season.
Donegal actor Colm Mac Giolla Easbuic, in the role of Mánus Ó Direáin, is at the heart of the drama this Christmas. Colm was recently crowned as the ‘Réalta Óg na Bliana’ in the Ghradam Cumarsáide an Oireachtais.
The Gaoth Dobhair man is a rising star in Irish language media through his acting in Ros na Rún and his presenting on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.
In a preview of this week’s episode, show producers what’s in store for Colm’s character, Mánus: There’s always mistletoe at Christmas and a little festive Ros na Rún romance. It’s apparently under the mistletoe for Manus and Natasha as they appear very flirtatious much to Ché’s annoyance. He’s very put out by Manus’s manner with his sister and his lies and Ché may throw one of his melodramatic walk outs for Christmas, that’s unless Sonny walks in on some cosy festive coupling!
Ros na Rún, the village of so many secrets, will this Christmas showcase what can in many cases be a rather stressful time of year for many people. Issues cover domestic strife, abuse, lies and deceit, lurking under the bright shine and wrapping of the perceived perfection of the Christmas season. What is for many a season full of cheer, romance, fun and frolics can also be a time of extreme loneliness, fear and strife.
Ros na Rún’s excellent story writers bring both sides of the Christmas coin to TG4 screens this season leaving loyal fans on the edge of their seats and with many questions.
The soap opera is broadcasting on Tuesday, 19th Thursday, 21st December at 8.30pm along with St Stephen’s Night 26th and Thursday 28th of December.
The omnibus will broadcast on New Years Eve. Ros na Rún will then bound into the New Year on Tuesday 2nd and Thursday 4th January 2024 with more dramatic stories. Tune into TG4 and the TG4 and RTE Players and follow Ros na Rún on all social media channels.
