Whilst the identity of three of the corrupt officers was exposed; Matthew ‘Dot’ Cottan (played by Craig Parkinson) who was killed at the end of series three, Assistant Chief Constable Derek Hilton (Paul Higgins) who died in series four finale from suspected suicide, episode three and PCC Senior Legal Counsel Gill Biggeloe (Polly Walker) who was unveiled tonight, suspicions have been thrown into the air over the final corrupt officer. But, there was one scene which left many extremely confused as to why it was mentioned; Ryan Pilkington (Gregory Piper) being interviewed to become a Student Police Officer. “Where I grew up, it was easy to fall in with the wrong crowd,” Ryan explained. “My mum, she was off her face on drink and drugs a lot of the time. “The person who made me see there was another way, to be a useful member of society was a police officer. PC Simon Banerjee (Neet Mohan). He’s the reason why I wanted to become a police officer too, to help people.” Viewers then saw the episode end with an update on each of the main characters and as Ryan was seen passing out, the caption on the screen read: “Ryan Pilkington has been accepted for training as a Student Police Officer.” It is doubtful that the Organised Crime Group’s (OCG) former delivery boy, who became a fully fledged gang member in the current series, has turned over a new leaf and has now become a law abiding officer. And there is also the question of why he mentioned PC Simon Banerjee, who was last seen in series one? Writer Jed Mercurio doesn’t reintroduce former characters for no reason, so could Ryan and Simon be the start of a new storyline? Line of Duty season 5 spoilers: Ryan Pilkington’s secret link to H exposed in major twist? Line of Duty season 5 spoilers: Ryan killed John Corbett It could be suggested that Ryan has been working for Simon since he responded to a call about Ryan, as well as the other children on the Borogrove Estate, causing a nuisceance. Since his surprise return this series, Ryan has been working for the mob gang, helping carry out the illegal dealings of drugs and sex trafficking. Alongside that he was involved in the murder of undercover officer John Corbett/Clayton (Stephen Graham). But him joining the police force could be a way of the fourth member of H planting a mole. This would be similar to the same shrewd move made by the initial gang creator John Thomas ‘Tommy’ Hunter, later known as Alex Campbell, when he installed dodgy Detective Inspector Matthew ‘Dot’ Cottan (Craig Parkinson) after enlisting him as a youth when he worked at the golf club. Therefore viewers could see the storyline come full circle in series six.

Superintendent Ted Hastings (played by Adrian Dunbar) was being investigated by DCS Patricia Carmichael (Anna Maxwell Martin) over suspicions of corruption on Line of Duty. During the questioning on the BBC drama, it was unveiled that Ted was close to John Corbett’s (Stephen Graham) mother Anne Marie who had been murdered. Gill Biggeloe (Polly Walker) managed to convince Corbett that Hastings was the one responsible for the death and he was recruited as an undercover officer in an organised crime group. I reckon John Corbett was the love child of Hastings and Anne Marie Line of Duty viewer The conversation between Gill and Corbett had been recorded and it was played aloud in the interview. Ted was clearly overcome with emotion as he asked for a moment alone, only to break down in tears. It was during the interview that he learnt for the first time that Corbett was Anne Marie’s son. Could Ted and Corbett have a secret family connection to explain why Ted was so emotional? As viewers will know, Corbett was killed earlier in the series as the OCG murdered him. Last night’s episode saw him visit the cemetery where Corbett was buried, and he also gave £50,0000 to his widow. Line of Duty season 5 spoilers: Could Corbett and Hastings be related? Line of Duty season 5 spoilers: Corbett was killed by the OCG Many fans suspect Ted is Corbett’s father and have taken to Twitter to speculate. “Ted Hastings = John Corbett's Dad #justaguess #LineOfDuty,” one fan theorised. A second added: “So I reckon John Corbett was the love child of Hastings and Anne Marie... #LineOfDuty.” “I think Ted is Corbett’s Dad & that’s why he was devastated when he found out he was Anne-Marie’s son & why he has given £50k to his widow #LineOfDutytheories #LineofDuty #LINEOFDUTY5 #LOD,” a third shared. While a fourth questioned: “Corbett was Ted's son right? Hence the 50k at the end? #LineOfDuty.” Line of Duty season 5 spoilers: Ted was overcome with emotion when he found out about Corbett<doc-sep>Line of Duty: Gill Biggeloe sends emergency text FREE now for the biggest moments from morning TV SUBSCRIBE Invalid email Sign up fornow for the biggest moments from morning TV When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

Line of Duty fans are still reeling from the revelation that H was not a person after all but four Caddies from the police force. Now, fans of the BBC drama are already speculating on another character’s true identity and this time it is Lisa McQueen’s (played by Rochenda Sandall). A Reddit theory places her as an being undercover agent for AC-3. She was part of the crime ring of John Corbett (Stephen Graham) and organised his murder when he tried to escape. One fan posed their theory on Reddit saying: “Jackie Laverty had a daughter. In season one, she was named in a police report as ‘Mrs H Laverty’. H. H. H. The title ‘Mrs’ shows she was old enough to be married, and Lisa is old enough to be married. “Is Lisa the child of Jackie Laverty and Tony Gates? Laverty is white, Gates is black, Lisa is mixed race. Lisa is avenging her mother’s death by hunting down bent coppers.” Fans also believe her actions and behaviour mirror that of a police officer. One said: “I’m sure she was about to shout ‘DON’T SHOOT, POLICE OFFICER’ to save herself getting shot, but refrained (and risked her life) in order to continue the investigation.” Actress Rochenda has previously revealed to Digital Spy about Lisa: "I'm not sure she has turned her life around. I feel personally that there's still an element... a little bit of a lie in there. Line of Duty season 6 spoilers: Lisa McQueen's true identity to be revealed? Line of Duty season 6 spoilers: Star reveals difficult future for Lisa I don't think she'll get off scot-free Rochenda Sandall "I don't think it's the end for Lisa. I don't think she'll get off scot-free." AC-3 has never interviewed Lisa and this could very well be because she is one of them. The episode revealed Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) had misread the signs when she was trying to extract information from Matthew “Dot” Cottan/The Caddy (Craig Parkinson) in his dying declaration. She initially thought the shady figure’s name started with H. However, it emerged he was trying to signal towards his hand, which he was using to make Morse Code signals. In episode six, Kate interpreted the signal as “dot-dot-dot-dot” which is H in Morse Code.

Line of Duty: Gill Biggeloe sends emergency text Line of Duty season five ended with the H conspiracy uncovered and truths coming out. The H conspiracy has been at the heart of the last two seasons. The finale delved further into the mystery of police corruption in the force. At the end of season four, AC-12’s head Ted Hastings (played by Adrian Dunbar) was suspected of being H and throughout this season it looked like he could very well be the mysterious figure. Who is H? WARNING: This article contains major spoilers from Line of Duty season 5 Hastings was revealed not to be H. In fact, H wasn’t a person at all. Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) had misread the signs when she was trying to extract information from Matthew “Dot” Cottan/The Caddy (Craig Parkinson) in his dying declaration. She initially thought the shady figure’s name started with H. But it emerged he was trying to signal towards his hand, which he was using to make a Morse Code signals. In episode six, Kate interpreted the signal as “dot-dot-dot-dot” which is H in Morse Code. However, she seemed to realise he was referring to four Caddies within the police force. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER SERIES OF LINE OF DUTY? Line of Duty season 5 saw the big H reveal Line of Duty season 5 saw the big H reveal So, AC-12 has wrongly been looking for a shadowy H figure when really it should have been trying to find the Caddies hidden inside the police service. Season six would logically expect the anti-corruption unit to now try and establish the identity of the fourth Caddy. Gill Biggeloe (Polly Walker) was revealed to be the third Caddy, working for whoever the ultimate puppet master was and trying to frame Hastings. The revelation leads to further questions about who exactly is trying to frame Hastings, who is getting closer to the truth than ever before. Interestingly, Kate looked quite dodgy as she offered up her new interpretation. She also seemed to look a bit shifty as she observed Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) re-watching the footage of Dot’s dying declaration. WHAT WAS DOT'S DYING DECLARATION IN LINE OF DUTY? Is Hastings H? No, seems to the short answer for now. Hastings was cleared of any wrongdoing despite the best efforts of Patricia Carmichael (Anna Maxwell Martin) to prove his guilt. Hastings was found guilty of discreditable conduct but he received a written warning and remained in charge of AC-12. Meanwhile, Operation Peartree was a whitewash and officially closed with the line from the top brass concluding there was no institutional corruption within the police force. However, Hastings still came across as quite dodgy after we discovered he gave £50,000 to the widow of John Corbett (Stephen Graham) - it almost felt like guilt money with the senior police officer feeling he was responsible for the death. But could there be something else there? Line of Duty season 5 saw the big H reveal
