With only two episodes left in Line of Duty’s sixth season, some fans have hypothesised that Thurwell will play a significant role in the future, potentially in an as-yet-unconfirmed seventh series.
However, viewers were quick to recognise the actor playing Thurwell, Bloodlands’ James Nesbitt, leading many to assume the character will have a significant role in the coming episodes.
From cliffhangers to hidden clues, there was much to digest in last week’s episode of Line of Duty.
Thurwell was only glimpsed on a computer screen, as a photo pulled up by Steve Arnott (Martin Compston).
