For ages now, audiences and force members alike have been struggling to find out who the mysterious 'H' is. Is it Hastings? Is it someone else? Is it Hastings again because that honestly seems to be the only logical explanation?
In fact, it ended up being none of the above, because 'H' doesn't actually exist.
Or rather, it does, but it's not just one person - it's a group.
Yeah, they actually went there.
The revelation came as Dot Cottan was trying to explain via morse code that he is actually part of a foursome of cops in senior positions that have connections in organised crime circles.
As Dot is (spoilers) dying, DS Steve Arnott notices that his hand is twitching as he struggles to tell the guys what he should have just revealed a long time ago and saved us all this stress - that 'H' isn't an initial at all.
"'H' is not an initial," Steve says, just as shocked as we were. "It's a clue. Four dots, four 'Caddys', four police staff in league with organised crime."
You got it, mate.
Naturally, audiences were divided enough about whether this was a decent pay-off, or simply an easy way out of a storyline that had taken on a life of its own.
