Personal Note: Not just Sisley, but Shaun also pulling double ICAC duty.... o_O
Would have been more refreshing to see Ron and Bosco in a comedy together instead, but at least Ron has a different role this time around....
Definitely sounds as though Nancy will be playing the big boss....
Ben and Candy pairing up again after "A Kindred Spirit"!
