In the script, Mully's father [Lochlann Ó Mearáin, 47] is a conman who exploits his child's innocence as part of his schemes. 

And in scenes filmed on Friday, Olivia's character Joy attempts to protect the teenager after his father comes looking for him and the cash that he stole as he fled. 

During the tense plot point, Lochlann could be seen shoving Olivia out the way as he made a beeline for Charlie who was sat on the floor. 

Olivia fell to one side after the shove, with her new shoulder length hairstyle falling into her face.
