It\u2019s already been confirmed that Douglas Henshall will not return<\/a> for season 8 of Shetland<\/a>, with Jimmy Perez set to leave at the end of the latest chapter.<\/p>\n

The details of the detective\u2019s departure are currently unknown, but fans will certainly be hoping for a happy farewell, especially after his passionate kiss with Meg in the latest episode.<\/p>\n

In the season 7 premiere, we also discovered that Duncan has no plans to return<\/a> to the islands following his release from prison, signalling the end of Mark Bonnar\u2019s time on the show.<\/p>\n

And in a shocking turn of events, we might now be bidding adieu to another character following a dramatic moment at the end of episode 3.<\/p>

With Connor still missing, Tosh volunteered to check out a location that could deliver some key evidence, and possibly even Connor himself. Jimmy offered to go in her place but she was happy to fly solo on that occasion, and off she went.<\/p>\n

She was directed to the ruins of an old building \u201cout in the middle of nowhere\u201d, behind which was a caravan that had seen better days. On entering and surveying the scene, Tosh deduced that it was \u201cConnor\u2019s safe place\u201d.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the episode, his sister Abbie had informed Jimmy that when the family lived in Glasgow, her brother had become embroiled in drug dealing in an effort to protect their dad Danny, who was in prison at the time. If Connor wanted his dad to remain safe, he\u2019d have to comply with their terms and conditions.<\/p>\n

During her search, Tosh rang Jimmy to give him an update but while she was on the phone, the detective accidentally activated a tripwire. As the timer began its countdown, she desperately tried to escape but the caravan door was locked, refusing to budge.<\/p>\n

She then moved to a window but again, it would not open, her time almost up.<\/p>\n
