‘MobLand’ Star Reveals Why He’s “Very Happy” With His Plot Twist Character Death
In the sixth episode of *MobLand* Season 2, Jan discovers that “Jamie”, the man she has been dating, is actually Donnie, a fixer working for her enemy Kat McAllister. She confronts him at his flat and shoots him; actor Alex Fine confirms that Donnie is dead and says he is “very happy” with the way the character’s story ended.
Fine describes Donnie as Kat’s equivalent of Harry Da Souza: he carries out her orders, including keeping watch on Jan and drawing her into a relationship as a deception. He says there was no genuine romance between Donnie and Jan, and that he had expected Donnie’s story to end in death, though he did not know when or who would kill him. Fine was pleased that Joanne Froggatt’s Jan delivered the fatal shot.
In short
- Jan discovers Donnie’s deception and shoots him.
- Alex Fine confirms Donnie is dead.
- Fine says Jan was the right person to kill him.
Explained simply
MobLand is a crime drama about rival families and the people who work for them. Harry Da Souza is a fixer for the Harrigan family, handling difficult tasks on its behalf; Kat McAllister is a rival with her own network of operatives.
Jan is connected to the Harrigans, while Donnie works for Kat. His assignment brings him close to Jan under a false identity, making their relationship part of the conflict between the two sides rather than a straightforward romance. This background helps explain why trust and loyalty are central to the story.
