Sarah Lancashire has left 'panicked' Happy Valley fans convinced either she or co-star Siobhan Finneran might meet their maker in the show's finale, after something her character Catherine Cawood said near the end of Sunday's episode.
Nine years after its explosive debut on the BBC, the smash hit Sally Wainwright drama will come to an end this weekend, with BBC One set to gather one of its biggest audiences 2023 for the last ever episode. Things were set up nicely for a thrilling conclusion when Tommy Lee Royce escaped from court and cycled off to freedom at the end of episode four, with a showdown with Catherine looking very much on the cards.
Having been left furious by sister Clare betraying her by taking grandson Ryan to see his dad Tommy in prison, Catherine was left shell shocked by the news that Tommy had escaped and became desperate to protect her family against him. However, there is clearly no love lost between her and Clare as, after Clare suggested they could all take an extended holiday abroad, Catherine gave her very short shrift.
