Ex-Line of Duty star reveals they re still accused of being H
Owen Teale says he is often confronted in shops about his character.
Line of Duty spoilers follow for the season six finale.
Line of Duty finally revealed the identity of the fourth H in its season six finale, a revelation that divided fans just as much as (if not more than) the
Game of Thrones finale. And to the surprise of some viewers, it wasn t the dodgy Chief Constable Philip Osborne.
But that hasn t stopped viewers from continuing to suspect Osborne, with actor Owen Teale, who played him, revealing that he is still regularly accused of being H.
Teale would love to do new season of Line of Duty rte.ie - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from rte.ie Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The Line of Duty ending was perfect – you just don’t know it yet
Convinced that Jed Mercurio’s finale wasn’t explosive enough, or that H was too banal? Then you just haven t been paying attention

Here’s an alternative scenario. We watch a grey-jumpered figure being led into AC-12’s infamous “glass box” interrogation room. This is him, this is H. The camera lingers on the suspect’s back before cutting to the doleful gazes of our three AC-12 heroes. The interview begins. The camera cuts to the face of our suspect – Chief Constable Philip Osborne.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.
In hindsight, the nation s feverish excitement before last night s Line of Duty finale feels a bit silly now.
Don t get me wrong, I was caught up in it as much as anyone (well, maybe not quite as much as the people tweeting bizarre theories like Chloe Bishop being Tony Gates daughter). It was hard not to be tantalised by the prospect of finally getting answers after almost a decade.
