ITV Gone fans are convinced Michael Polly is covering for someone after viewers spotted his suspicious behaviour
ITV’s Gone viewers are suspecting that Michael Polly is hiding a “big secret”, asserting that he isn’t the murderer of Sarah Polly.
Audiences will recall that music teacher Sarah vanished, only to be later discovered dead in the woods near her home. An unidentified individual strangled her before discarding her body and fleeing the scene.
Detective Annie Cassidy has been investigating the enigmatic death, with a chilling twist revealing Sarah’s husband, Headmaster Michael, as her prime suspect.
In tonight’s (March 16) instalment of the six-part series, Annie and her team start to view things differently as new information continues to surface.
It’s undeniable that Michael’s behaviour has been peculiar since his wife’s disappearance, so it’s hardly surprising that he’s attracted suspicion, reports the Mirror.

He wasn’t the only one under scrutiny, as Sarah’s lover Stephen Sedgwick was also interrogated about their locations when Sarah went missing.
Michael maintained his innocence, but the police remained sceptical, given that Michael had a potential motive if he was aware of his wife’s infidelity.
Regrettably, the police lacked sufficient evidence, leaving them no option but to release him. However, Annie wasn’t prepared to let the matter rest, opting to interview Michael at his residence and secretly record him.
She quickly observed that his daughter Alana was absent, but he maintained that she was with her grandparents because she wished to care for them during this difficult period.
Yet he struggled to sustain his falsehoods as he subsequently broke down and admitted that Alana had gone to her grandparents to escape him, acknowledging he was responsible for the affair.
During his conversations with Annie, it became evident that his account didn’t hold together, and viewers at home were swift to identify Michael’s peculiar conduct.
Numerous viewers suggested that he is “covering for someone” and the actual murderer might be his daughter. One fan posted on X: “Michael didn’t kill his wife he’s covering for someone @davemorrissey64.”
Another asked: “Is he protecting someone? #Gone.” A third added: “Michael didn’t do it ,so who did , the daughter #gone.”
Meanwhile, one viewer applauded: “Wow, what an episode the 2 leads are incredible. The tension. Eve Myles and David Morrisey what chemistry.”
