Line of Duty thread 7: do bent coppers get their comeuppance? This is a spoiler free zone fella!

Thread prepped and ready to go Boss.

My theory for why Steph was outside - maybe it was a scene the shot later as a ‘pick up’ and they couldn’t film inside for some reason (covid, availability of the actual home owner, continuity) so filmed outside the house instead. I think that scene was needed to close off the Steph storyline (with Steve basically going cold on her) as the main purpose of her being in this series was to reveal Ted’s involvement in the £50k. My guess is we won’t see her again.

Steph also saw the painkillers and reported them to Ted. The drug testing team then suddenly appeared. Now Steve is getting messages from Occ Health. 🤔

Thanks Jane. Have found and ordered a job lot one from a UK store.

I’m really intrigued as to who is watching the football at Steph Corbett’s house. I hope this isn’t a Jed herring. And why does steph know who Steve supports to be able to give him football bants about his team not being in the champions league.

Steph herself more than likely!

Indeed. No reason why Steph couldn’t be a football fan and have football knowledge, despite not packing a pair of testicles.

If it was Steph herself, she wouldn’t have answered really nervously that it’s cheap enough in the package, she’d have said it’s because she wants to watch Liverpool.

I don’t have bollocks and have a season ticket for my club. I know women can like football. It’s just her response would have been totally different if that was the case.

I'd forgotten about the football thing but Connected is right; she did answer as though she was lying.

I just assumed he knew she supported Liverpool after making fun of Steve

I thought steph was being cagey about the football by down playing how expensive the TV package was so Steve didn't wonder where she got the money from. Nothing else underhand going on!

That was my take on it.

I was curious as to why she went outside for the call though. Surely the house is big enough to move to a different room, bearing in mind it's bloody winter when it's set.

Omg I clicked on the wrong thread, it was the spoilers one I need to CAHM DOWN

As you were.
I thought the Steph/ footy channel comment "being cheap as chips" thing was to divert Steve from his nosing into her finances . But hes a nosey dogged investigator and saw through it.

Yes I thought her comment about the cost was to stop Steve wondering about her finances

I think the post someone made earlier about Covid filming restrictions is the most probable reason.

Did you get this one *@IntermittentParps* ?

I want that one

But they could have just filmed Steph taking the call sitting in a studio set of her kitchen / lounge / bedroom.

She definitely looked skulky.

Probably easier to stand outside than build a whole set.

And then she made up all that bollocks about a life insurance payout.

Believe you me, fella, if the police wouldn't pay out a death in service benefit because Corbett had gone rogue, neither would an insurance company pay out anything.

Steve knew it was bollocks and went to look for the money / source of funding.

They could have borrowed my kitchen. I've got tiled walls and everything. She could have leant by the kettle.

I think the % of single women with football packages is far far lower than that for women in couples.

Remember with enough circumstantial evidence you can build a case. MNers have LTB for less.

Jo's messaging.... I'm entertained that this is meant to be an uber secret secure anonymous service but she seems to open her laptop and barely has time to type in password 1234 before she's in, and ALLL MESSAGE HISTORY IS RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN! It takes me longer to access Netflix

Agree, where is the encryption!!

Also, you know those bernard phones they all get...never get sent the instructions with them. Don't know about you lot but I can't just easily jump from one brand of phone to the next without a full tutorial....
