The Leaving Of Louie

Louie Gleeson left in a blaze of controversy but it wasn't the first time.


Never far from trouble, Louie Gleeson had an eventful time in Carrigstown. He must have had a magic touch because he seemed to get away with murder.

In the crazy world of Carrigstown, it should be noted that Louie did not actually murder anyone but he certainly got up to no good. Affairs, a drug habit, his battle with Bob, jilting Carol at the altar and finally an attempted kidnap of his son, Louie di not make life easy for himself.

After defying blackmail and finally revealing his affair with Ingrid to Carol at the altar, Louie's world crumbled very quickly after. His feud with Bob finally erupted into violence when Bob thwarted his attempt to bring Jack away with him and Louie was forced to leave under the glaring eyes of Carrigstown's residents.

We decided to trawl the archives for some of Louie's more dramatic moments. Click here to see what he got up to.
