‘Im glad hes still a part of this journey,’ says the actor of his back-from-the-dead costar.
SOPE DIRISU:[Laughs] Me too, me too.
And my mum’s pleased as well.

Someone asked me at the premiere, ‘What’s it been like this year without Joe on set?’
And it wouldn’t have been the same without him.
I’m glad he’s still a part of this journey.

Yeah, with Joe, it’s better in than out.
But he’s a fan favorite.
Why is he dead?'
Has it been hard keeping his return a secret?Not at all.
I quite enjoy finding different ways to evade the answer.
It wasn’t necessarily supposed to be that way.
It wasn’t thrown together, but there was this freneticism to creating it.
There was a bit of guerrilla-ness to it.
It felt like we were skiing off-piste.
There was so much of this season that I just enjoyed.
That arc in this series is just incredible.
People have got them to look forward to for sure.
And I assume there is going to be some sort of face-off between your character and Sean?
I mean, you did shoot him in the head.
He can’t be very happy about that.But he didn’tdie, right?
Not many people get shot in the head at point blank and survive.
I think there is some gratitude that should be shown for that.
