It is rumored to be the culmination of the masterclass and the whole cast is determined to make this one special.
The whole cast sobbed in the opening episode, “it must’ve been hard for them to continue in the absence of Helen.” A fan said.
Harry Kirton, the 23-year-old said his character Finn Shelby is someone who needs a lot of guidance in the story and Polly’s presence is missed. “I think others felt the same in their own way.” He added.
The covid outbreak has disrupted the filming for quite a long time and until this happened there was hope that Helen will be in the last season but she couldn’t. The writer Steven Knight added.
The show paid tribute to the character with a three-minute silence and lighting a Gypsy caravan with her body and belongings.
