Trigger Point star let slip how they'd die weeks ago in missed comment
***THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE SECOND EPISODE OF TRIGGER POINT***
One of the biggest characters on ITV drama Trigger Point has been killed off in huge scenes.
Fans have been left devastated by the death of one of the most popular characters on the show, but the actor who plays him made a comment about the surprise death weeks before the show even aired. In tragic scenes at the end of episode two, DCI Thom Youngblood - played by Mark Stanley - was pushed down a lift shaft to his death, leaving his on and off girlfriend Lana Washington (played by Vicky McClure) horrified as she witnessed his shock death.
The pair had just decided to give their relationship another try after Lana returned from Estonia to find out Thom was now in a relationship with another woman on the team. However, it wasn't to be for Thom and Lana after he was killed.

Asked if doing the show had made him looking differently at the world, he said: "I’ve got a lot of friends who are part of 3 PARA, and some who have gone into the SAS now after doing three tours of Afghanistan, so there aren’t many stories I haven’t heard from them.

"When I’m playing Thom I do sometimes think I would love to have to go at his job in real life! I’ve always fancied myself as someone who can stay calm in those situations but I’d probably quickly be plummeting to my death still thinking about how to build a life raft. I’d always have hope in my heart that I would solve the issue, in the end."
His comment about "plummeting to his death" no doubt was a hint about how Thom would die in the sad scenes. Mark also revealed how tiring the filming was on the ITV drama, but praised the "great atmosphere" on set.
He said: "I was tired by the end. We did all the action scenes in the first few weeks and then we went into the procedural elements where there was a lot to learn, but there’s such a great atmosphere on set, we don’t stop laughing. The best moments are when someone forgets their lines when something really intense is happening.
"We could be filming in our incident room, ready for a COBRA meeting and everyone gets a bit hysterical because we’re working long days, drinking too much coffee and eating too many sandwiches – everyone puts on about a stone in a week when we do those scenes! But when the pressure is on, your heart starts beating faster and everyone pulls out their best work when it counts.
He added: "There’s such a feeling of camaraderie on this job that comes from Vicky, she really is a great lead to be working with and we always felt like we were in safe hands. She makes sure everything is ship-shape and as hassle-free as possible."
