Additionally, there’s Kevin Harvey as Bobby Duffy, Saoirse-Monica Jackson as Cheryl Crawford, Darci Shaw as Melissa Sullivan, Adam Abbou as Freddie and Bobby Schofield as Bonehead.<\/p>\n

A teaser for season two dropped back in June<\/a>, and although brief did give a look at returning characters Michael and Diana.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool-set drama focuses on a power struggle in a gang led by Sean Bean’s Ronnie Phelan \u2013 who was killed off in the last season.<\/p>\n

The new episodes pick up from where things were left, as “Michael and Diana have barely arrived in Spain when they are dragged back into the fold to answer questions around Ricardo\u2019s death”.<\/p>\n
