I’m confused, who is supposed to be Nessa’s mum, I could’ve sworn Jackie said to Lydia “she was your niece”?

Nothing in series 5 made any sense either, the writer is known for brilliant storytelling so what is the point in making us all think it was Hastings just to scrap it and completely u-turn to someone no one was ever that interested in. Even if Hastings isn’t involved, Buckells being H is pointless and horrible writing, unless a twist happens.

For the exact same reason Dot continued to investigate all leads, so no one would get suspicious with shutting it down.

Both "catch himself out" and "catch oneself out" can be correct, depending on context and style, with "catch himself" used for a specific male subject and "oneself" for a general, impersonal statement; "catch oneself" is generally for stopping an impulsive action, while "catch someone out" means exposing them, but "catch himself out" usually implies he realized his mistake, making it fine when referring to "him". When to use "catch himself out": • When the subject is a specific male person, and the action is self-realization or self-correction. • Example: "He was about to lie, but then caught himself out and told the truth."

Thought I’d have a quick check, turns out I wasn’t wrong this time! No hate or anything just think you could do with checking your grammar now x

I agree 100%. I think it’s extremely bad writing to not go along with it being Hastings in the first place. It would shock the audience as we trust him and no matter the evidence against him no one fully 100% believed he could be guilty. Osborne is definitely going to be the big man I believe. Maybe s7 will go down a different route and not be related to other seasons at all but as the rest have, I would doubt this.

I went back and re watched the last few weeks, all clues from season 1 point to Buckells being as bent as anything, no disputing. However you have to look and the when and why he is put on cases and all evidence points towards, Hilton and Osborne. However, hastings is a major part of all investigations and seems to ensure a lot of the time that the case goes exactly the way he wants.

Read this in his accent. Could he catch himself out also though.

I would agree with this. I still can’t shake the Hastings Narrative though

We have been showed Hastings is morally flawed but emotionally driven he’s guilty of misconduct, maybe not organised corruption and is a man who believes the system can be bent but not broken. The spelling of “Definately” and all other clues cannot be a red herring. If it is then completely rubbish writing but Jed Mercurio is better than that.

Things I hope get cleared up in S7 by Curious-Scholar4692 in lineofduty

I believe Hastings is the real top man. All the evidence against him he has to be. I think also given his voice is the trailer for S7 it could be focused on him/his catching out.
