TG4's soap, Ros na Rún, returns to the small screen tomorrow night following the summer break and there are some scandalous scenes ahead. Warning: Spoiler Alert!
Following the nail-biting finale before the summer, the new season begins with a weak and battered looking Caitríona, who has been left tied up by Breandán, after she discovered proof that he is a paedophile.

Caitríona may be alive but she has a big decision to make...
She struggles to escape before managing to attract Graínne's attention. However just as she’s almost free, Breandán returns.
Things take an even darker, sinister turn when Breandán takes little Realtín into the forest. Realtín’s disappearance from the wedding has been discovered by her father, Michéal, and he is desperately trying to find her.
When Michéal eventually realises what's going on, he drags Breandán into the forest. He pulls a gun on him and just as Tadhg (Macdara Ó Fatharta) gets a call to say Realtín has been found alive, he hears a shot go off...
