They have an explanation for this, apparently they wanted Emmett Scanlan to play another character a while ago but he wasn't available then and they really wanted him to join so he agreed this time then they wrote in that Cheryl and Brendan were half brother and sister and that Brendan grew up in Dublin because Brendan was originally meant to be Northern Irish but it would have caused confusion with Emmett's accent.
