Product Information

Anti-Villain: Frances Drummond. When Catherine finds out Ryan's new tutor is someone who's been visiting Tommy Lee Royce in prison, she surprisingly doesn't flip out. Instead, she notifies the police of her fraud ( she'd been impersonating her dead sister), and goes to her house while she's under house arrest just to ask her why she did it. Later, she finds evidence that she was just one of many woman Royce had been grooming, and empathetically breaks the news to her. Overall, the series goes to pains at the end to stress that she was as much a victim of Tommy's grooming as any of his other victims. Never My Fault: With the exception of Joanna's murder, Rob Hepworth tries to downplay all his other misdeeds when things come crashing down on him.

One of the chavs who harasses Darrell, who later gets his collarbone broken with a hammer after the latter has had enough. Also counts as Mugging the Monster. Bittersweet Ending: The series ends more sweet than bitter. On the bitter side, the main characters still have to live with their addictions and trauma. Joanna's parents and her own girls have to deal with the loss of their daughter and mother along with their father Rob going to prison for his crimes. Another family has to deal with the devastation when Faisal Bhatti is exposed as Joanna's murderer, and life in "Happy Valley" still has its ongoing problems with drugs and organized crime. But, on the sweet side, all the main characters do get relatively happy endings. The head of the Halifax Mafia gets taken down. Tommy Lee Royce is finally gone and with him his rein of terror. Catherine herself retires, finds peace, and is ready to move on and go on an adventure. spoiler:Tommy Lee Royce, who douses himself with petrol, downs alcohol and pills and sets himself on fire.

Catherine eventually gets the National Crime Agency (essentially the British FBI) involved with the kidnapping case. Their superior resources prove useful to the investigation. Churchgoing Villain: It is strongly implied Royce has converted to Christianity during his time in prison, if the prayer beads and cross tattoos on his head and wrist are anything to go by. However it appears to be purely cosmetic, as he is still as deranged as he was in the previous series. FeelingTheirAge: Catherine, after she runs down multiple flights of stairs and sprints several hundred metres across a council estate to chase down a drug dealers van. AND Digital, in collaboration with Calderdale Council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority, will announce the relaunch of the Halifax Digital Festival on Tuesday 14 November at a reception at The Crossley Gallery.

Really? Daryl said that, and Alison reported it while semi-comatose? We’ll take it, because it sets in train the end of John’s attempt to get away with murder. “It makes you seem a little bit … unhinged” Ann also aspires to be one by the end of the series, as during her time in captivity she was forcefully injected with heroin, but refuses to succumb to the addiction. By the end of the third series, she is still drug-free. Council Estate: Many are seen throughout the series, including where Tommy hides out after his run in with Catherine. In early 1997, MacFarlane was gunned down by two Hells Angels associates brought in from Montreal. Wendelborg's decomposed body was found in October 1998 in the woods of Harrietsfield, Halifax County. He had been badly beaten and died of a forced cocaine overdose.
