When is it back? I'm sure I read somewhere that it would be back in April. Does anyone have any theories about the storyline or characters?

The AC12 triumvirate comprising Hastings, Arnott and Fleming will definitely be back.

What about Roz Huntley? and her rather drippy DH ?

Wil Nige feature? and will we find out how and why Maneet was being blackmailed by Hilton?

I can't wait, frankly.

I think Corbett believes he is doing the right thing

after the first episode I thought Lise was undercover but have now changed my mind and she now has some doubts about Corbett.

I too thought that Cafferty might have been having an affair with a woman - probably Lise

Cafferty has possibly been primed to point the finger at Hastings

Hastings is not H

Compo guy will turn out to have some connection with OCG

I agree, rollergirl he aimed for and missed the cop deliberately, and the other chap clocked it.

Did we see greying Ted with both a corby trouser press AND an ironing board today? Maybe the travelodge isn't so bad for him, after all. I also agree that if he were H, he'd probably be better off.

But, what if Roisín's new chap is from an OCG? And he has to rescue his fair lady?
He love that. But then he'd probably die.

yumyumpoppycat · 07/04/2019 23:51

Tinstar really good point that Lisa might be a daughter of someone in the police and out for revenge as that might explain why she has a police vibe going on.

So if Hastings isn't H then scanning through the characters on Wikipedia DCS Hargreaves is a possible H - when googling his name I saw he is thought by some fans to be a possible H. That could also explain why Steve's girlfriend is being highlighted as she is in his team so might now either be in trouble or having to work for him.

Why would people call this person H though if H is an initial - surely it is a pretty big clue to their identity?! Maybe H stands for something else - H could even be a woman - pretty weird there aren't many women characters with a H name, other than Ros.

Italiangreyhound · 08/04/2019 00:23

Xmasbaby11 I hated episode one and now I am right back in there! So agree with you.

"I agree they are making Hastings look guilty so hopefully that means he isn't!

As long as Kate, Steve and Hastings are intact by series end!"

Italiangreyhound · 08/04/2019 00:38

Sid we all expect Mrs Fella to say 'I've met someone"?

Can I put a theory out there from season 2?

The money in Lindsey Denton's home might have been planted IMHO. Not by Steve IMHO! But I think she would not have been stupid enough to get Steve to carry it into the house. So many places to hide money. Why have it in your bedroom while under police scrutiny?

Any way just a thought!

Italiangreyhound · 08/04/2019 01:19

tinstar "Did Cross my mind she might be DCI Gates' daughter avenging his death but probably not enough time has passed since series 1." Bloody bell you are sharp! That is plausible.

I did think she may have ulterior motives for bring on the gang!

I think it is unusual

At least two people referee to her a 'mixes race's. I thought she could be middle eastern, Greek, or just dark-haired Caucasian so the fact so many people refer to her mixed race seems odd. But I think too old to be related to Gates.

And yes, last week so "... nervous and subservient ("tell me what I can do to make it right"). But this week, especially the scene with the computer, she was very much in charge."

Yes whenskiesaregrey suspicious of Sam!

wowfudge · 08/04/2019 06:16

She is clearly mixed race.

Hels20 · 08/04/2019 07:24

Although actually when you look up the lise actress on the internet - she does not look mixed race

Hepzibar · 08/04/2019 07:24

I need to watch it again - I'm too tense first time round.

Would Kate be suspicious - Steve casually says they should put surveillance on the house with the injured cop and 5 minutes later turns up with a full armed response team at the exact same time as the baddie?

And, if Kate is now doing 9-5 because she's DI, who is doing the undercover work?

(Travelledtoofar OFITN is my all time favourite!)

oldmum22 · 08/04/2019 07:27

Ted is not guilty of anything corrupt. The poor man is naïve and a little bit of a romantic but he isn't guilty.

foxessocks · 08/04/2019 07:35

My dh did point out yesterday that H may not be related to a name as that would be too obvious, it's just a nickname so could actually be anyone at all? Which I hadn't even thought of 🤦

Northumberlandlass · 08/04/2019 07:43

During the hijack, I think that the other guy was going to kill the ‘honest’ copper & Corbett took a shot which missed him (and therefore made him dive for cover) & the other guy (don’t know his name was suspicious).

I think Corbett is good, but his moral compass is a little off. He killed them in the first hijack as they were bent, but no one died in the one last night because they were honest.....

I think the photo they showed was Cottan & I think Kate & Steve’s ‘look’ was because he’s still alive ...... 😮

AngelinaNeurosurgeon · 08/04/2019 07:44

Would Kate be suspicious - Steve casually says they should put surveillance on the house with the injured cop and 5 minutes later turns up with a full armed response team at the exact same time as the baddie?
That’s what I thought too. And surely the gang are now asking why all those armed police happened to be there when they did the cash drop?

Also whoever Cafferty pointed to can’t be H surely because H wouldn’t have made himself known to her, it would have been one of the minions who made contact and blackmailed her?

Northumberlandlass · 08/04/2019 07:44

But Steve keeping stuff from Kate is not good! I kept shouting ‘Tell her, tell her’ 😬

OOh yes maybe she IS Gates' elder dd....it seems plausible enough to me. OMG that would be a great plot twist. Shock

Do Ted and Róisín have children.
I've only seen one LoD series and this one, hence my ignorance.

NoWordForFluffy · 08/04/2019 07:48

She's too old to be Gates' daughter. The oldest wouldn't have even got to 20 yet I don't think.

I don't recall mention of children for Ted and Roisin.

TeachesOfPeaches · 08/04/2019 08:09

How did nobody get hurt or die during the gun hijack???

pinkandstripey · 08/04/2019 08:15

I don't get the theories around H - the reason AC12 are calling the top dog H is cos that's all Dot managed to blink when Kate asked him to name the guy in charge in his dying declaration. So Corbett's comms inspector using H makes no sense, how would she know?

pinkandstripey · 08/04/2019 08:16

teaches armoured cars and officers trained to know how to duck!

And there would so be a tracker in that van!

Merril · 08/04/2019 08:20

I don't think it's Dot she pointed to. She got two photos out of the box marked AC12 current personnel. It's got to be somebody who's still alive. There wouldn't be anything shocking about her picking Dot out as we already know he's bent.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 08/04/2019 08:23

TeachesOfPeaches I was just going to ask the same thing.

I agree that Lise is most likely some type of 'avenging angel', hence why she is framing her OCG as the 'good guys'. Also, maybe she's better off showing her hard side when there's no likelihood of bloodshed?

Not sure what to think about Corbett - he could be showing himself because he knows AC12 is onto him. As someone said, a double bluff?

LutherRalph1 · 08/04/2019 08:32

But why was teds laptop running the same communication software that Corbett and Lise were using?!

greenpop21 · 08/04/2019 08:35

Please not Ted!

greenpop21 · 08/04/2019 08:37

Teaches I think the bullets were blanks. But how come the other OCG members aren't asking questions about that?
