Love/Hate's Laurence Kinlan bringing Christmas to Dublin on Thursday – as he switches Xmas lights on

Love/Hate star Laurence Kinlan will be switching on the Christmas lights in Dublin this Thursday.

The TV actor – who plays Elmo – will hit the switch on the Grafton Street lights at 5pm.

He will be swapping his gangland life as he kills the crowd with kindness, following the finale of Love/Hate on Sunday.

And Laurence will be joined by The Original Rudeboys, who will play a series of tunes as he turns Dublin city centre Christmassy.

Yesterday, Goss.ie told how Laurence has been left in the dark on whether there will be a season six.
