Vicky McClure: Trigger Point unravels "complicated relationship" in season 2

"Myself and Mark have a very complicated relationship, and when we go into the next series there's a lot to play on with that," she revealed.

Asked by host Alex Jones if the series would "unravel a bit of that", McClure responded simply: "Oh yeah."

For his part, Stanley said: "When the second series starts, Vicky's been away actually. Lana's been away in Estonia, dealing with IEDs and training in that aspect.

"And I'm still for SO15 and our relationship has got a lot of unanswered questions and seeing each other isn't necessarily what we expect."

McClure went on to explain that the fact that they lost a lot of characters in the first season naturally took an emotional toll on both Lana and Thom, from which they were still trying to recover.

"So the fallback on that and seeing Lana and everybody... and the repercussions of it, you know, we really wanted to honour that this series and make sure that the reality of what that must be like is thought out.

"And there needs to be a break, so Lana effectively has a break and then comes back and, you know, things have changed."

"Yeah, she messes things up!" Stanley interjected, only for McClure to counter that it was actually Thom who messes things up.
