I think it'll be Kate that doesn't make it.
Ted retires, maybe Steve's back means he has to take medical retirement, and no Kate. Means they can free up season 7 to be done with a different set of characters and close off the H storyline.

I’m still not over them killing Stephen Graham off, fucked it if they kill her off too 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m gonna go watch This Is England where they’re both alive 😂
 
I'd rather it ended completely than start with a new team. I don't think it would work for me, I'd be constantly comparing them. It's one thing to take out and replace one character at a time to maintain the same show and slowly transition, but a sharp change to a different cast would be too far for me.

I'm worried for Ted just because of the similarities he has with Corbett now.
 
I've been mulling it over and I really do suspect Kate. We've seen Steve get into a multitude of scrapes whereas Kate always gets away unscathed. I know she was working long hours with AC12, but she fell out with her husband because she was never home... busy being bent as well maybe? Also, if I’m remembering correctly, in Series 2, Richard Akers told Kate that before the ambush, Jayne Akers told him to get in touch with Kate (or something like that?) and Kate told him not to mention this when AC12 interview him. Did we ever get to the bottom of what that was all about?! Also, Dot taking a bullet for her could well have been so that she can carry on what he couldn’t...

I love the big three and agree it wouldn’t be the same without them, but at the same time I feel like we’ll only be satisfied if it is one of them that turns out to be bent/the top dog. Being in anti-corruption, they can expose just enough to look like they’re doing their job, but still prevent plenty of other stuff from coming out. Hmmm 🧐

The more I think about it, the more I agree with you. Kate probably isn’t H IMO but I think she might be bent 😩

I was super convinced it was Kate but then I saw someone pointing out she is H, why did she take and pass on Dots dying declaration? Nobody else was there it would have been easy for her to not record it or delete the recording if she knew it would come back to bite her 🤔

She’s still got to look like she’s doing her job I guess. And wasn’t she the one that came up with the morse code 4 dots thing? Throwing them off the scent maybe...

I agree, however I would go for a Kate series a la Cagney and lacey but that's only cos i totally have a girl crush on her

I’ve just watched season 2 and I think it was because Akers was suspecting he was having an affair with Kate. Could be wrong though

What similarities do you mean?

Corbett was hell bent on uncovering corruption and felt he had nothing to lose which ended up with him going off book and look how that ended up.

Ted has dedicated his entire life to anti-corruption, at the cost of everything, and now his life's mission is being taken away from him so he potentially feels he has nothing left to lose, and obviously he wants to get to the bottom of it all, but at what cost?

Plus there's the connection of them both having shared history from Belfast.

Ah ok....yes, I see what you mean. I really hope Ted doesn't throw caution to the wind and turn crazy reckless in a last ditch attempt to expose the bad guys. We don't want a martyr....we want our Ted in one piece! 😰
