Her lip-reading skills become essential to the team, who have her looking through CCTV in order to interpret what the gang are saying in order to gain the upper hand.
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Code of Silence is returning for a six-episode second season after the success of its first run.
The show amassed a total of 20million streams on ITVX across the whole series.
A release date for the next instalment is yet to be confirmed.
Speaking about the news of the series’ return, actress Rose said: “I’m so proud that Code of Silence has been recommissioned.
“The response to the first series has been incredible, and it means so much to be part of a drama that not only keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, but also puts a Deaf character at the heart of the story.
“I’m really excited to see where Alison’s journey goes next and to be working again with the wonderful cast, crew and creative team behind the show.”
