Save Me Too star reveals guilt-ridden Goz’s ‘desperate situation’ as Nelly makes him lie to the police
SAVE Me Too star Thomas Coombes has revealed his thoughts on his character Goz’s “desperate situation.”
The actor spoke to explain the “dark, dark place” Goz has found himself in a Nelly makes him lie to the police.
The second instalment of the Sky Atlantic series follows Nelly – played by creator Lennie James – as he continues his search for his missing daughter Jody.
Thomas told Digital Spy: “He’s still using his ties, using anything he can [to find Jody] and Goz is one of the people he can rely on most.”
“So he’s pushing boundaries…but those barriers get tested,” referring to Nelly asking Goz to lie to the police.
In the Sky thriller Goz is married to Daisy, played by Remmie Milner.
Thomas went on: “He knows Goz’s most important priorities are his family…they have a pact that they don’t bring outside trouble into the family because Goz has got a history of some criminal elements and he had to drop them as soon as they got kids.
“He doesn’t bring anything home. He makes sure everything is as safe as can be. That’s why [Goz] is hurt, that Nelly’s kind of taken the Mickey.
“But he’s trying to make up for what he did in season one as Goz feels partly responsible for not spotting what was in front of him with the students and their involvement in Jody going missing.”
He explained: “I think he carries that on through these months, so when we meet him he’s trying to make amends to Nelly and trying to make it up to him because he feels the guilt.”
Lennie, the show’s star and screenwriter, has already spoken about plans for a third series.
“I’m putting it all together, or trying to in my head [although I’m] not quite there yet,” he said.
“But yes, I have thoughts about carrying on the story because, this was always an idea for a returning television series and I don’t feel quite that I’m finished with these characters.”
However, Lennie insists the next series won’t focus on Nelly.

The Line of Duty and The Walking Dead actor said: “It’s got to be an idea that encompasses all the characters, because it’s not just about the continuing adventures of Nelly and his search for his child.
“It’s also about what that search or what that journey does for the people around him. So, if I can find one that brings the gang together, then absolutely [there’ll be a season 3].”
