Other eagle-eyed viewers pointed out that Nora could be seen elsewhere in the latest batch of episodes. "I'm 99% sure that the girl in the wanted poster is Nora, Tom's oldest daughter, if you look closely, you can even see her name there!" someone wrote, referring to a scene in episode 14.

Did you spot Nora in the episode?

Nora is the oldest of Tom's three daughters. Her mother is Welsh actress Estelle Morgan and she was born not long after Tom graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy in Glasgow, where he studied drama alongside James McAvoy and Outlander star Sam Heughan. 

Tom told The Daily Mail back in 2012: "Estelle and I were friends at drama school in Glasgow and got together two years afterwards. As it was coming to an end she fell pregnant and wanted to have the baby. We tried to make it work but it didn't."

Tom, who now lives in the US with his wife Meaghan Oppenheimer, recently revealed that due to Covid-19 restrictions in California he wasn't able to see his daughters for seven months.

Speaking to The Guardian, he said: "It's been excruciating. There is a part of you that isn't there when they're not around, I don't ever really want to be in that headspace ever again. Trying to remain positive while the world is falling apart and having your children away from you and not knowing you will see them was just…Yeah."
