Actress Aoibhinn McGinnity has admitted she was dying to meet a real life Trish when she was filming Love/Hate.
The Monghahn star played Nidge’s wife in the gangland series since the beginning and revealed she wanted to talk to a real gang lang wife like Trish.
“I always wanted to meet a real-life gangland wife, but it just didn’t happen,” she said.
“And after a while I just had to trust myself and not overthink it. With Love/Hate, the dialogue does the work for you.

“You don’t have to do much homework when the script is that good.”
Aoibhinn, 28, said she never likes to over-prepare when it comes to acting roles.
“I was told I work instinctively,” she told Image magazine.
“You can learn your lines inside out, but you really have to feel like her, and whoever you’re acting alongside.
