The actor plays the recurring role of DI Nicola Rogerson in the BBC's juggernaut crime drama, who first appeared as a flame of DI Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) in the show's second season.
Chong returned in 2021 for the sixth (and most recent) season of Line of Duty, where it was revealed that Rogerson was still in touch with Arnott – and that he was considering a career move out of AC-12.
When last they spoke, Rogerson put a halt on his transfer application at his request, with Arnott feeling that there's more he has to offer anti-corruption after all.

If Rogerson is to be involved in any potential future storylines, it could possibly signal a change of heart, with actor Chong telling press at the Saturn Awards that enquiries have been made about a seventh season.
She said (via MailOnline): "So I have been asked about a season, is it seven? Yeah. Potentially Nicola Rogerson will be back for season 7."
The actor didn't say any more than that, but her comments follow a recent interview with co-star Compston, where he told The Times that the Line of Duty cast were all booked up this year, but that he'd like to don Arnott's signature waistcoat again soon.
"If there's a story Jed wants to tell, he'll come to us. As soon as there's some news we'll let you know, but right now there's nothing there," he added.
Chong was attending the Saturn Awards – an annual celebration of sci-fi, fantasy and horror – as part of the Star Trek family, where she currently holds the regular role of La'an Noonien-Singh on spin-off series Strange New Worlds.
The show was a major contender at the 2024 ceremony and will no doubt vie for more accolades when it returns this year with its third season.
