Series 9 Rumours & Speculation

[Maike]

I'm pretty sure that RA was told to say exactly what he did say. It was great publicity for Spooks that he did so many interviews for Strike Back and could talk about Spooks as well. And in the end he gave away nothing of substance, he just drove us all mad! As it has been officially announced that HN is in the new Kudos/BBC show Outcasts and currently filming it is hardly a spoiler that she is not around.

However she could very well have survived the explosion and make an exit early in series 9 (saving Harry's life at Foxhills???). Until now everyone has survived the cliffhanger and and those that wanted to leave did so early in the new series (MM, RPJ, MR) and got a proper good-bye by everyone mourning them, I doubt that series 9 start half a year later with no mention of Ros's fate at all. And RA mentioned the Nightingale storyline will be wrapped up and the home secretary/RG will make an appearance, so episode one may deal (partly) with the aftermath of the explosion.

MTA: I'm pretty sure RA mention somewhere that episode one deals with a cargo ship (explosion on a cargo ship?) so that is probably when the piracy expert comes into play.
