Shetland fans have been left convinced they know who killed Annie after a huge twist.
Annie had worried her friend Tosh (Alison O’Donnell) when she said she wanted to talk about something, but when Tosh went around to see her the next morning, she was missing. However, they later made a devastating discovery when Annie was found dead on a building site owned by her estranged husband Ian.
Another man called Anton Bergen was found dead in the same building, whilst Noah managed to escape but he did have blood on his shirt, leading to fears he might have seen what happened to his mum.
In a huge twist during the second episode on Wednesday, November 13, we learned more about Annie’s past life. She had a love for maths had headed to university as a 15-year-old, where she was recruited as part of a spy network, with Professor Euan Rossi involved too.
However, some fans are convinced the new information now “proves” who killed Annie.
“Professor to kidnap Noah next? #Shetland,” one wrote, whilst another suggested: “Noah is definitely the professor’s son. That’s prob why the dad keeps going off on benders #shetland.”
However, another fan of the show is convinced Annie died for a completely different reason. They shared: “My thoughts on #shetland I’m guessing the daughter who is ‘ill’ & was cared for by Bergen, doesn’t actually have any illness. Annie Bett was there the day Bergen confronted the parents and she was killed in the crossfire. It’s munchausen by proxy (induced illness).”
Alison – who plays Tosh – previously confessed she was “really excited” by the show twist.
Speaking to Radio Times, she said: “I was really excited [by that twist]. I knew that there was going to be this sort of MI5 element before I’d even read the script, and I thought that’s really cool.
“I was in the middle of reading the Richard Osman books at the time, so I was like, ‘Oh, I know all about this.’ And I think it’s really fun territory because you get so much for free with that one.”
She quipped: “All these people are professionals at skullduggery, so there’s so much to be mined there.”
