Scottish woman keeps looking at the guy with Down’s Syndrome like she knows him (awful descriptions but I’ll learn the names as time goes on :skull: )

I'm a bit wary of Ryan becoming a bit too involved in the primary plot.
Hopefully, he remains the side character or just a random face of the OCG because, not to be mean, the actor sucks.
Marsh.
28-03-2021, 10:02 PM
In fact I was a bit confused about how a PC has replaced a PS (not sure what distinctions between the positions tbf) but Jo knowing who he is explains that.
I also can't remember if Kate or Steve have ever actually met Ryan before? Or was Kate "recognising" him just a nod to the audience.

I did wonder if Kate had met him too, before someone on line reminded me she briefly interviewed him.
It's a bit of a stretch for her to think she knows him virtually immediately for me though. Although, considering he almost cut off Steve's fingers, I have no trouble believing Steve would know him.

Also you guys seen how blatant they're being in having us think Buckells is the new "Caddy"?
His office has golfing pictures all over the walls and he even has an actual bag of golf clubs behind his desk where he sits. :joker:

There’s a theory going around that:
DC Chloe Bishop, the new recruit of AC-12, is Tony Gates’ daughter.
Apparently back in series 1 when all the affair stuff came out (body in the freezer etc) Tony mentioned he had two daughters - Natalie and, yep, Chloe.
Marsh.
30-03-2021, 05:21 PM
I seem to remember some storyline where they were privately educated and one daughter was always playing the piano for him and took lessons, so he was in need of money to pay for all that or something. :laugh:

Could be revealed this series honestly. I’m hoping she pops up again.

Tony was 37 in S1 and Lisa was in her [mid-late] 20’s last series which was set 18 months before this one if I heard rightly. Chloe is now also in her [early-mid] 20’s.

Brilliant series so far! Line of Duty never fails. My only one negative about this series would be the casting choice for Ryan. I know they like to keep the continuity of the original actors but he’s not menacing enough at all to be an OCG leader.
Other than that though, perfect TV as usual. Kelly MacDonald is fantastic as Joanne and the ambush scene with the gunmen tonight will go down as one of the shows best scenes ever.
I think it’s gonna be Terry Boyle revealed next week possibly?

Her dad/uncle can't have ordered Vella's murder, he died in series 2.

I’m guessing Nesbitt is being set up to be the S7 lead. I think Carmichael is a red herring and Yusef off EastEnders or the blonde female Chief Inspector is the fourth man.

I've binge-watched this entire show and can't believe I never watched it beforehand, lmao.
I didn't quite know what to make of series one but did enjoy it as a whole once I finished it. Series two & three were phenomenal, though. I loved Lindsay Denton as a character, she was so amazingly complex, and Keeley Hawes played her so well. Series four was enjoyable because I liked Thandie Newton, and it was somewhat refreshing that the storyline wasn't so focused on the OCG and planted the seeds for 'H'. Series five was the one I enjoyed the least because I think they just laid the 'Hastings is bent' storyline on too thick, and I didn't care for Stephen Graham's character or anything to do with the gang. This series has been excellent, though. I just genuinely hope we do get some insight into who 'H' actually is, but I think it'll end with one of the main three already knowing who it is, and series seven will be about figuring out whether that character is or isn't bent.
It has got to the point, though, where the build-up in terms of who 'H' is has been so good that regardless of who it turns out to be, it'll probably be a letdown, lmao.
Also, Kate is a literal goddess.

They’ve added a new bit onto the end of the advert for Sunday’s episode - Ted in the interrogation room again with Carmichael’s voice playing over saying the usual intro when the tape starts...
“Interview with Ted Hastings in the presence of his solicitor...” or something along those lines.
Interesting...

She was such a fantastic character. I went backwards and forwards wondering whether she was bent or not, but in the end I liked her too much to care, lol. I don't particularly like Steve as a character, so I loved it when she threw him under the bus and got herself out of prison.

Love Lindsay :love: one of the best TV characters of all time. I agree about S4, I liked the breakaway from the OCG network storyline, they nicely tied it in at the end though. Roz was a fantastic character too :love:
I loved John Corbett and S5 myself. I found myself really rooting for him and was gutted at his demise :sad:. The first two episodes were a bit slow but I think it picked up in the latter half. Patricia Carmichael and Lisa McQueen are great characters too.
My personal ranking is:
S2 > S4 > S3 > S5 > S6 > S1
But they are all fantastic I think tbf.

Thought long and hard and this is my final theory as to who “H” or the fourth man is... I think...
As much as everything is pointing towards Osborne being the fourth man and there’s absolutely no doubt he’s so dodgy and it would make sense and basically make the whole story come full circle...
I just don’t think it will be him. I just think an obvious ending to all of this wouldn’t do the show justice.
If anything, I’d rather them conclude it’s him, have US 100% believe it’s him, get him in the infamous interrogation room and even charge him BUT at the end it’s revealed TO US that it’s actually bloody ANDREA who’s behind everything.
Andrea’s pulling all of the strings without a care under Osborne (maybe she’s got dirt on him) and framing him for her own role as “H” to finally become CC, manipulating Carmichael (who isn’t dodgy at all but in fact just trying to further her career by being blind and completely obedient to dodgy superiors to rise up the ranks as quickly as possible) who Andrea has put in place as AC-12’s new leader once Ted gets the boot after taking the early retirement - convenient for Andrea as Carmichael is basically just out to brown nose her and take orders to impress, thus not questioning decisions Wise makes - however dodgy.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Hastings does actually retire and if there’s another series he’s working “rogue” to snuff out Andrea at the top from the outside.
Hope that all makes sense I was kind of thinking as I typed. :joker:
TL,DR: Andrea is “the fourth man” and is framing Osborne as “H” to get promoted to Cheif Constable. We the viewer will know that they have the wrong H and the real H is actually now in charge of the whole ruddy show.

I’m confused because Buckells was shaking like mad when Jimmy was killed in a cell. Surely H wouldn’t be shaking like that :laugh:
I took it to mean H wasn't the huge criminal mastermind everyone assumed, he was the cowardly messenger for everyone else to get away with their misdeeds through him and he was rewarded with the career he didn't deserve.
Also that people like Osbourne wouldn't leave himself in situations like Buckells where he's that easily taken down.
I took it that they're all corrupt in their own ways. Carmichael was never going to investigate the top people because she's too concerned with her own career, probably the same with Andrea Wise turning a blind eye and getting rid of the Yusef from EE guy is an easy cop out etc. Showing corruption is always there you're never going to cut it all away because selfish people are selfish people.
It will be interesting to see the direction the show would take if it were to move forward. Would Carmichael pursue Ted for what he confessed should his appeal against his retirement be successful?
