Fair City star Adam Weafer has told RTÉ Entertainment that he is just as excited as fans of the RTÉ soap to find out who killed his character, Cian.
After drugging former girlfriend Dearbhla and making many enemies in recent months, Cian met a grisly end in Sunday's episode.
Just like the viewers, Dublin actor Weafer is now looking for clues.
"The last scene I read was the last scene I've done," he said. "I can only imagine from the writing, and how good it's been lately, that there's going to be loads of twists and turns.
"I suppose the most obvious suspects are the two of the lads (Tommy and Zak) standing over me, but I think how that plays out looks like it wasn't them. It really makes the viewers question everyone. I've been saying that Cian doesn't burn bridges - he seems to blow them up! Anyone could be after him, which is great!
"The first thing I said to Brigie (de Courcy, Fair City boss) was, 'Is it good?', and she goes, 'It's great!', and I go, 'Well, let's go for it then!' I think some of the best scenes I've ever done have come up in some of these episodes."
Weafer confided that he had been hoping for a more action-packed end.
"It was quite a gruesome death; you only see him dead, you don't see it happen. I kind of wanted a big fight scene at the end and a struggle and getting thrown over the table like Stone Cold Steve Austin! I wanted all that, they wanted to keep it as more of a who's who!"
"I think, to be honest, I had a feeling that something like this was going to happen," he admitted. "You just want a full, rounded story, as in I never wanted to play a pantomime villain. I think it's good that it came to an end, because you don't want to see these things get dragged out either.
"The fact that he got murdered is great for the viewers. It's a who's who and all that and it's gruesome. I suppose if he got arrested or if he was on the run, it kind of leaves a question mark. I think for me, personally, it's nice to just put a full stop."
As he signed off from the show, Weafer saluted the people he has met in Carrigstown.
"I think the sad thing was more missing the cast and crew who are so great and having that routine," he said. "You never get a routine as an actor for more than a month maybe - and then the rest of the year you're just questioning being an actor!"
Looking to the future, Weafer has his own short film that he is hoping to turn into a feature. It is set in another Dublin area close to his heart - Ringsend.
"I wrote a film over lockdown and I made the short," he said. "There's a few great actors I have attached to it like Peter Coonan and Denise McCormack and stuff.
"I'm back doing some rewrites, I have a producer on board, and we're going to try and enter the short into a few festivals and get finance that way. I'm going to reshoot a couple of scenes, just to give the short a more rounded feel. It's exciting.
"I wrote about a family growing up in the flats and a musician and a brother coming out of jail. It has a lot of light and shade. I like when there's music attached to a storyline, and I like a good cheesy ending as well - so that's what I'm going for! I won't leave the viewer feeling weird and needing a shower after seeing my film!"
In the meantime, the identity of Cian's killer will be revealed.
"It'll be great!" laughed Weafer. "I'm going to sit down and watch it with a nice cup of tea and be like, 'Who the **** just put me out of a job?!'"
