Filming on the new series of Vera switched to Newcastle on Monday, when the cast and crew of the hit drama, were snapped shooting scenes, rather aptly, right next to the Crown Court.
With Vera now having fans gripped for over a decade, anticipation is always high for each new series and, earlier this year, after an edge of the seat end to series 12, ITV announced that DCI Stanhope would be back for some more sleuthing, will production on the 13th series getting going at the end of May.
The new series of Vera has brought about a number of significant changes in personnel, the biggest being that Kenny Doughty quit his role as DS Aiden Healy and the man who he replaced as Vera's sidekick, David Leon is back, after his original exit left leading lady Brenda heartbroken. Ibinabo Jack has also now left Vera, with former Hollyoaks star Rhiannon Clements, coming in as a newcomer to DCI Stanhope's team, DC Steph Duncan.
