Rhys Connah has ruled out Happy Valley ever returning, after fans inclluding soap star Lisa Riley called for it to come back and be centered around his character Ryan Cawood.
Nine years after it made its explosive debut on BBC and after three absolutely thrilling series, Happy Valley's finale aired on BBC One on Sunday night and Ryan was right at the heart of the action. Grandson of Sarah Lancashire's lead character Catherine Cawood and son of her arch nemesis Tommy Lee Royce, Ryan was a main character in Happy Valley from the get-go as Catherine was determined to keep the youngster apart from his villainous dad, the man who raped her daughter and drove her to suicide.
After Tommy ended up behind bars, a woman obsessed with the criminal contacted him in prison, before taking her infatuation further by faking her identity to get a job at Ryan's school in a bid to bring him closer to Tommy and turn him against his family at home.
