Whose DNA?: Line of Duty thread 6 -May I remind you to post to the letter of the MN law, the letter - no spoilers or you will be served with a reg 15.

[passwordnotsecure]

In preparation as we know we will need a new thread for tomorrow night.

@TheSpottedZebra yes. I got the age wrong for Hunter. He'd have been 14, but Jo's rage at her mother's photo makes me think she blames her mother for something

Raiding the sites I mean

@excelledyourself

So has Jo's mum abused her brother and became pregnant with Jo?

Someone posted Hunters year of birth as 1965, so he'd have been 11 when she was born. Jeezo.

Guess if mick could be a dad at 12 in eastenders .....

My guess is Kate and Ryan shoot and kill each other leaving Jo as the only witness.

She will then say Ryan forced her to meet with Kate at gunpoint after following her to the restaurant where they were originally supposed to go.

That way she can explain Ryan's fingerprints in her car and not be directly accused of killing her.

I don't want Kate to be dead but Jed is an evil bugger when it comes to killing off key characters....

I've no idea at all who H is but think it's probably not Carmichael. I think she's just a very ambitious character who thinks after investing Ted previously that he's not all he cracks himself up to be (with some justification it has to be said).

@Graffittiunderpass

As an aside I think Steve is gonna hold that 50k over Teds head to get out of doing the drug test

I thought Steve already did the drugs test which is why occupational health are chasing him? Maybe not

I think Ryan shot Jo...and then Kate shot Ryan.

I got that wrong @Blondeshavemorefun He'd have been 14

@itsalifetimesworkfella

Can't see LOD doing Bobby Ewing stuff

Go back to the car jacking episode. You never see the face of the man who is killed. I think they did a switcheroo. And the body was burnt beyond recognition but they wouldn’t have dna checked it because ‘obviously Tommy’. I 100% think Tommy Hunter is still alive.

@Netaporter

This was spotted tonight tho’...😳

Bloody hell!

I think I read somewhere that Tommy H was only 12 years older than Jo, so incest with his sister?!

Wonder by what percentage has the Googling of “what does homozygosity mean” risen tonight :o

I don't think Ryan's going to survive. He's confessed to Corbett and Maneet's murders, he wouldn't cooperate with the police and he's hardly going back to work. Can't see there's much further character development there.

Think Kate will survive, on the basis that I think they would have left her death as the ending if she were to go. Finding out she's died at the beginning of episode 6 wouldn't provide the necessary lasting impact that her role deserves.

Not sure about Jo. She's got too many loose ends to go yet. Will she enter into some kind of deal?

Also quite pleased Buckles will be released. I know he's a useless copper but I felt a bit sorry for him!

@TedisnotH

Yeah, I think Kate is still AC 12, deep undercover

When Ted met Kate in the underpass he said he understood why she left AC12 and took the blame for that himself. She’s not undercover. I think he just said that because he’s fond of her and he treats her as one of his own.

That’s what I thought Ted meant too. She will always be important to him no matter what.

Didn't someone on here last week suggest Tommy may have nonced his sister? Fair play, if so.

I also think Tommy’s alive. Definately

I also definately believe Tommy is alive.

@Zampa

Can anyone remind me why Hastings told Banks about Corbett being undercover?

Because Corbett tortured his wife

@IcedPurple

I find Carmichael style characters too annoying to watch.

Yeah she's not really a character, more a caricature of the ball breaking bitch boss.

She needs a twirly moustache and a cape to swoosh. Didn’t mind her last series, but she hammed it right up tonight. It was almost parodic.

Does anyone else get serious Nicola Walker vibes from Carmichael? It’s the way they both speak. Everytime she speaks I feel like I’m watching Cassie speak to Sunny.

Anyone else also needs to go to sleep but zero chance of that happening? 🤣

What an episode

Kate was totally take in by Jo. She made a mistake we haven’t seen her male a mistake before

Thanks @MazekeenSmith!

I need to listen again to the gunshots but I'm thinking someone else shot both Ryan and Jo, stop them talking?

How are we meant to sleep tonight? Could do with this being on a Friday night so I have the whole weekend to puzzle!

I'm probably alone in finding the very end of the episode very unsatisfactory. 'You drop it'. 'No you drop it' (repeat ad nausea).

Took the tension out, and made it faintly ridiculous (almost like meerkats 'oh she hung up')

Ask Alexa 'who shot who in line of duty'
