Fans of Line of Duty can have reason to have fun, as Christina Chong has confirmed she’s been asked about returning for season seven of the hit BBC drama. The actress, who portrayed DI Nicky Rogerson in series two and 6, spilled the beans through the Hollywood Saturn Awards, revealing her potential return
“So I actually have been asked a couple of season, is it seven? Yeah. Potentially Nicola Rogerson will probably be back for season seven,” she said, per DailyMail.
Christina Chong’s Role In Line Of Duty
The explosive 2021 finale of Line of Duty saw the unraveling of the infamous H, revealed to be the bumbling DCI Ian Buckells, leaving fans on the sting of their seats. Christina first appeared on the show in 2014 as a part of the Major Violent Crime Unit and even became romantically involved with DS Steve Arnott, turning informant for him and the team.
Martin Compston’s Desire To Return
Nonetheless, Chong isn’t the one star to hint on the show’s return. Martin Compston, who played DS Arnott, expressed his eagerness to reprise his role, revealing he’d “prefer to pull his waistcoat out again” if a brand new season were to materialize.
Compston admitted that despite the uncertainty, the show’s creator, Jed Mercurio, would bring them together if he had a story to inform. “I just don’t know. I’m busy next 12 months. Vicky’s ridiculously busy, so’s Adrian. If there’s a story Jed desires to tell, he’ll come to us,” he reasoned. “As soon as there’s some news we’ll let you already know, but immediately there’s nothing there. I’d prefer to pull my waistcoat out again.”
Martin joked, “I like a waistcoat but I can’t wear them now; it’s like putting on Steve’s character.” The host Chris, 50, asked the query on everyone’s lips to search out out if it’s coming back any time soon. Martin, while throwing one other hint, replied, “’I really like that individuals ask and the love that individuals have. When people stop asking about it it’ll be a tragic day. I do love that but, you don’t want to offer fans false hope because people get excited.”
He added, “We’re not planning anything immediately. We’d like to do one other one in some unspecified time in the future but we’re all working next 12 months on other stuff.”
Adrian Dunbar’s Tease About Latest Script
Compston’s comments come after co-star Adrian Dunbar, who has played Superintendent Ted Hastings from the very starting, suggested that the show’s creator has been working on a script for season seven.
“The one I didn’t get in, which is form of a extremely good Irish one about not stopping things happening is, ‘Don’t stall the digger’” he told Ryan Tubridy during an interview with Virgin Radio UK. “That’s a superb one, isn’t it? Like, you already know, ‘You’ve got to maintain going’ That’s entering into the subsequent season.”
In a dinner meeting last 12 months, the core solid—Vicky McClure, Martin Compston, and Adrian Dunbar—gathered with Mercurio to debate possibly bringing the hit show back to the screens. While there aren’t any official announcements, the signs are all there: Line of Duty might not be finished just yet.
