Fresh from the series that has gripped the nation, the banished and murdered The Traitors Ireland cast will be in studio on Friday to share some behind the scenes stories.

Recently murdered Christine, original Traitor Katelyn and father and son duo Paudie and Andrew will sit down with Patrick to look ahead to next week’s much-anticipated final and to confirm if Paudie really is a hugger.

RTE viewers will also be hearing from BAFTA award-winning writer, actor, and comedian Aisling Bea will join Patrick to talk about joining the cast of Dublin-based Netflix series Grown Ups.

The eight-part drama series, which is based on the best-selling novel by Marian Keyes, follows “the chaotic lives of the Casey clan, a noisy, tight-knit Irish family, who are bound together by a tangled web of loyalty, resentment, money, memory and love.”

Kildare native Aisling will also chat about the inspiration behind her forthcoming stand-up tour Older Than Jesus and why she’s proud to be the face of Oxfam Ireland’s Second-Hand September.

Renowned authors Marian Keyes and Stefanie Preissner will join Patrick to chat about The Walsh Sisters.

Based on Marian’s blockbuster novels Rachel’s Holiday and Anybody Out There, the new six-part series is a darkly funny, emotionally raw drama about five Irish sisters- Anna, Rachel, Claire, Maggie, and Helen – bound by love, history, and a tendency to self-destruct.

The two authors discuss bringing the five fiercely funny, flawed sisters from page to screen, and reflect on the joy, chaos and emotional depth that make this story so enduring.

Rising Irish actor Anthony Boyle will also be in studio to chat about his latest role in the new Netflix drama House of Guinness. Created by Peaky Blinders mastermind Steven Knight, the eight-episode drama will chronicle the remarkable true tale of the Guinness dynasty in unprecedented detail.

Anthony will discuss his whirlwind journey from Belfast to Broadway and reflect on what it means to him to bring the story of one of the most famous Irish families to a global audience.

Finally, Patrick will be sitting down with Gillian Sherratt and Stephen Morrison, the parents of Harvey Morrison, a nine-year-old boy who died earlier this year after waiting seven years for scoliosis surgery.

Harvey eventually underwent surgery seven months before his death, but by then the severe progression of his spinal curve meant it could no longer be fully corrected. He passed away on July 29 after a short illness and years of pain during which he struggled to breath.

Gillian and Stephen will share the heartbreaking story of losing their son with viewers and and speak out why they have formed a campaign in his memory.

International rockstars Ash are also set to make an appearance on Friday night’s show, with the Co Down rock band set to perform their single Which One Do You Want?
