ITV The Bay fans issue same complaint about 'outrageous' series six ending
Viewers who tuned into the series finale of ITV drama The Bay failed to hold back their disappointment as one particular aspect left them outraged.
The popular detective show came to a dramatic end on Tuesday night (March 11) as series six concluded with another hair-raising episode.
With DS Jenn Townsend on the case to find out who was behind the killing of student Hannah Dawsons, fans finally discovered that professor David Wallasey was responsible for her murder in an attempt to save his own reputation.
But in a dramatic twist, as the story wrapped up and with the police force relieved by David's confession, viewers were left stunned when DS Karen Hobson was unexpectedly suspended from her role.
With replacement boss DCI Josephine Harding calling the shots, Karen was suspended on the grounds of previously failing to issue an apology to the officer from the vigil.
But the swift departure left viewers rather upset. Heading over to social media site X, fans were quick to express their disappointment, with one writing: "Oh no no no poor Karen this is outrageous."
Another echoed: "Karen doesn't deserve to be fired!" A third said: "Brilliant finale!!! Glad it ended with the family enjoying time together. I really hope there is going to be another season and that Tony will bounce back and Karen will be reinstated as it wouldn’t be the same without them."
While a fourth viewer added: "I love #thebay but they did Karen dirty! Justice for Karen Hobson, she had nothing to apologise for! Get her reinstated, heck get her a promotion!! @ErinShanagher. Glad she didn't apologise & stood her ground."
Meanwhile others couldn't help but sing the show's praises as the remarkable season came to an end. One impressed fan write: "The bay is so incredibly written, not only does it portray the usual connotations of a crime show amazingly, but also invests in the characters emotions and explores reasons why they make decisions, it gives it depth and makes it relatable, pls say there’s an s6 coming."
Another also shared: "Another great series of the Bay really hope we get another as I love this show and think the cast are fantastic!"
The Bay is available to watch on ITVX
