Line of Duty - rewatching s1-5 before start s6 - WITH SPOILERS?

[Suzysuz]

I can see the new threads without spoilers, but is anyone rewatching 1-5 to spot any clues / left open stories/characters before watching the new season 6?!

I'm currently on s5 and I'm close to putting up one of those AC-12/Homeland style boards with pictures, links with string etc 😳🤣 seriously... I have notes 🙈

It may just be me... hence possible end of thread....!

And yes I am sad (!) but am going through a tricky time and this has been an entertaining distraction 😊

Reporting for duty.

Just one thing to be going on with - Jackie's body. She was still in Terry's freezer in S5. Miroslav remarked on it. Shortly after, Jackie's body was found (after a number of years - she disappeared during S1 as I recall). The freezer (if we are assuming it:s the same one) has now been disposed of and I'm wondering "why now?. Its disappearance seems to be connected to the framing of Terry. No doubt the answer lies in S6.

I'm in. I'm recovering from a v stressful period at work and LoD is a great distraction!

I've just rewatched S2 and 3 as it looks like some of the threads from Danny Waldron's list and Denton's case might reappear in S6. I'm watching the new series but won't share any spoilers

Mother of God! 😁
I thought I may be a thread starter AND killed in one 🤣

Some of my questions / may lead nowhere or may crop up....

S1 was all of Jackie Laverty's body found? I may have missed that and wasn't sure on the MO of keeping it after Tony Gates died

We only get mention of her ex husband, Andrew Laverty, as them being divorced and him having been a millionaire.... might he crop up? Did he divert Jackie to invest in the OGC's?

PC Banajee - he's the really nice PC who tries to help in s1, I hope he comes back up and hope he isn't bent now..

I'm also reckoning on more coming from -

Nigel Morton (maybe? He had the same background in vice with Mike Dryden)

Les Hargreaves.... he held back on the tracker found at the car ambush scene which could have helped Lindsey Denton (although didn't in the end as it had been on her car...)

Ah sorry you've already answered a query! Yeah I don't understand why hold onto that.... I do think there is something to come out of that....

Thank you for keeping any s6 spoilers undercover 😊

Ah Waldron's list... I kind of watched that season in the background as had thought of it more as Dot's background and him hiding that, I might need to pop back and check what names were on that again....

Hargreaves was shot by Corbett wasn't he?

Yep. No more from Hargreaves unless in zombie form.

Ah that must've been end of s5 I'm rewatching now and had forgotten. Darn it I thought something may come out there 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet but Ryan's Social Worker in S1 was called Hargreaves.

Jolly worked alongside Les Hargreaves (can't remember if it was Serious Crimes or Murder Squad.

There's also a theory that "good cop" Simon Bannerjee" was not only instrumental in inspiring Ryan to become a cop but may also have been corrupting him. Bannerjee was with the other, lazy cop when Terry called for assistance in S1. Could there be a Ryan/Terry/ Bannerjee connection.?

(Probably a stretch too far but you never know...).

Yes yes I remember in the Ryan's interview there were about 6 reps for him weren't there.... I might try and loop back and rewatch that little bit...

And there was a social worker, not sure if one we actually 'knew', that was killed on the same docks bit that Hilton was killed on? It was referenced but can't recall if we had met/seen that social worker or was linked to the historic child abuse.

I'll be so gutted if PC Mannerjee (sp?) is now bent, he was so lovely and trying in s1 but we see how the corruption can spread like with Maneet even within AC-12 ☹️

Suzysuz that Social Worker was Oliver Stephen's-Lloyd. We didn't meet him, but we saw his picture. I think it was Joe Nash who approached him during the Sands View abuse. His death was attributed to suicide I think but yes, he was found on the same jetty as Maneet and Hilton. Steve referenced him later in a conversation (with Kate I think) at the scene.

Yes so I checked back, in s1 when Ryan gets interviewed, the social worker is JANE HARGREAVES.... no mention of her anywhere else which I can see (although did miss this anyway! 😳) and no mention if she is linked with Les Hargreaves.... coincidence or not....?!
