5
6	[[folder: Detective Chief Inspector Natalie Hobbs]]
7	-->'''Played by''': Katherine Kelly
8	----
9	* DirtyCop: Downplayed. After keeping [[spoiler:Duffy's alcoholism]] secret, she has the evidence disposed of after it is exposed.

16	* EndearinglyDorky: Tony is a dorky FatherToHisMen but is also extremely popular with them, and he has a ShipTease with Hobbs.

20	[[folder: Detective Constable Vanessa Warren]]
21	-->'''Played by''': Rochenda Sandall
22	----
23	* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Inverted. Vanessa loves her job but hates the limelight, which leads into HoistByHisOwnPetard.
24	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Vanessa has no desire to be well known or to move out of the unit. Her more restrained, quieter demeanor leads to Julia not suspecting her at all when Vanessa does what's supposed to be a routine interview with her, and that leads to Julia SayingTooMuch. Vanessa immediately tries to back out of the interview and to leave it to someone more experienced, but Tony and Natalie tell her she can't because Julia is comfortable talking to her.

47	----
48	* PapaWolf: Emphasises his protectiveness of his [[spoiler:fictional]] daughter when speaking with Dr Fallon.
49	* ScaryBlackMan: The shoutiest of the team, user of a DeathGlare on Dr Fallon. It's at least partially an act to rattle Edgar and get him to start talking (which works), but he can still be very intimidating.

71	-->'''Played by''': Creator/DavidTennant
72
73	A medical doctor accused of the murder of his stepdaughter.
74	----
75	* BitchInSheepsClothing: For the brief moment he actually converses with the police, he seems to be a well-intentioned, if strict, stepfather looking out for Nicky's well-being. [[spoiler:Bastard's lying through his teeth.]]
76	* FauxAffablyEvil: Attempts to pass himself off as a loving stepfather to Nicky. [[spoiler:Couldn't be further from the truth]].
77	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Since the police didn't have enough evidence to charge him, he would've gotten away with it had he just kept his mouth shut. But once he starts talking, his arrogance rears its head and he insists on "proving" his innocence by directing Tony's attention to the bruises on Nicky's body, which appears to prove he couldn't have killed her due to the established timeline. In doing so he inspires Duffy to take a closer look at the photo of the bruising, which causes him to notice the evidence that proves Edgar's guilt; something that would've been overlooked completely if Edgar hadn't felt the need to prove his superiority by exonerating himself.]]
78	* PaedoHunt: Accused of raping and murdering his 14 year old stepdaughter.
79	* TheStoic: Initially just stares into space repeating "No comment".

86	----
87	* BigSisterInstinct: Stacey's sister murdered her boyfriend, but Stacey attempts to take the fall for her.
88	* LowerClassLout: Stacey is a stereotypical "chav" with a tracksuit, a thick London accent, and prejudicial views. However, she's [[NotMeThisTime not the real killer.]]
89	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She calls Hobbs a "dyke", and refers to her sister's boyfriend as a "black bastard".
90	* TakingTheHeat: Is attempting to do this for her sister.

97	----

103	The wife of a double murderer.
104	----
105	* BitchInSheepsClothing: She seems to be a sweet lady, with Vanessa taking a liking to her. [[spoiler:She committed the murders and framed her husband.]]
106	* SayingTooMuch: Her rant about what it's like to be married to a murderer, [[spoiler:which reveals that she knows details of the murders that are not publicly available. She also mentions buying sleep medication for her mother, tipping Vanessa off that she had access to the same drugs that were in the victim's system.]]

131	A businessman, convicted a decade prior for the murder of his business partner, now accused of another murder.
132	----
133	* TheAlibi: A photo shows him on a cruise on the day Annabelle Ashcombe was killed. [[spoiler:He'd flown to one of the places the ship went into port after killing her and boarded there, making sure to be photographed so it would look like he was on board the whole time.]]
134	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His attempt to get his sentence reduced by pinning the murder of Alfie Ince on an old acquaintance does nothing other than draw attention to his own involvement.]]

136	%%* TheStoic: As much as Fallon.
137	* [[spoiler:WouldHurtAChild]]: [[spoiler:He murdered Alfie Ince to protect himself after Alfie saw the body of Annabelle Ashcombe, who he had just killed.]]
