HAPPY Valley viewers are convinced they know who is helping Tommy as the series finally returned.
After a seven-year hiatus the hit BBC drama returned on New Year's Day for its final ever series.
Actress Sarah Lancashire has reprised her role as cop Catherine Cawood.
The first episode ended on a nail-biting cliffhanger as Catherine received intel from Sheffield prison - where her late daughter's rapist is serving time.
Viewers watched as earlier in the episode she had been told that her grandchild Ryan Cawood (Rhys Connah) had been visiting his father from prison.

His visits were apparently being aided by an unknown man and woman.
While Catherine at first didn't act on what she had heard because it was "fourth-hand information" she eventually started to worry.
As the first instalment came to an end, her colleague Inspector Mike Taylor gave her an update.
"Got some intel for you from the prison in Sheffield," he said, adding: "You're not going to like it.
The credits then rolled leaving viewers in suspense.
But fans think they know exactly who is helping 16-year-old Ryan visit his dad behind bars.
They're convinced it's Catherine's sister Claire.
Taking to social media, one said: "I’m putting money on it that’s it’s Claire taking Ryan to the prison #HappyValley."
Another wrote: "Claire? No, you didn't, please. I better be wrong #HappyValley."
#HappyValley did not disappoint, I’m hoping it’s not Clare and Neil taking Ryan to visit the prison…..cliffhangers," said a third.
