SMOTHER actor Lochlann Ó Mearáin today reveals his distress at his character Rory Dwyer having to violently hit his son Callum in the RTÉ show.
And Lochlann believes such incidents have exploded in real life due to cabin fever tensions in lockdown homes. We tried to make it as real as possible, he explains about the assault. It was quite a heavy backhanded slap in a public place, it s difficult. It s really hard to apologise for something like that, it s really not acceptable. I know it s a coming-of-age thing for a lot of young boys, that tension builds up between a son and a father, it s a natural enough thing, of the boy turning into a man.
