In a recent interview with SFX, Whithouse revealed that the fifth series finale will feature "cameos from two guests" who featured in Being Human's fourth series, but he absolutely ruled out return appearances from any of the show's former cast, including Aidan Turner, Russell Tovey and Sinead Keenan.
"Mitchell isn't coming back, because he's dead. And so are George and Nina!" he insisted.
So that's that. But the show boss did enthuse about his new big bad, Captain Hatch, played by the ever-fabulous Phil Davis.
"It’s a brilliant performance," he said. "Imbued with such presence and danger, and that effortless evil that Phil does so well. I wrote it, but I’m genuinely chilled by some of the stuff he does. And he’s not afraid of making himself look ghastly.
"Hatch goes through a transformation as we get towards the end, but up until that point Phil was happy to make himself look utterly rancid!"
And for his part Davis seemed pretty pleased with the character, too: "It was irresistible, because it’s so well-written. He’s very clever and very funny. He kills people with a smile on his face – or persuades them to kill themselves.
"I want the audience to enjoy his evil and be scared of him at the same time. I want them to be laughing and then stopping dead."
Whithouse also tantalisingly teased that the series finale will leave us guessing, saying: "There will be much discussion about the end…"
Much as we love Mitchell, George, Annie and Nina, we can't wait to see what's in store for our favourite supernatural misfits.
Being Human, starring Damien Molony, Michael Socha and Kate Bracken, will return later this year.
