There was a well known local TV personality for viewers in the North East to recognise in Vera's series finale, with the star in question absolutely delighted at being handed the 'amazing' opportunity to star in the drama.
After series 11 was cut short y ITV in early 2022, Vera fans' patience was finally rewarded last month when the much loved show made its long awaited return to kick off a run of six new episodes. Vera's return to its 8pm Sunday night slot has given viewers 12 hours of unmissable drama, as the final feature length instalments of series 11 kicked things off, before being followed straight after by the new offerings of series 12.
The last of those was The Darkest Evening, which definitely proved to be one of Vera's most intense episodes to date as Brenda Blethyn's famous character was forced to confront her past and her family after being caught up in a violent storm. And news of the storm which brought about all the chaos was delivered by a man very much in the know when it comes to meteorological forecasts - ITV Tyne Tees weatherman Ross Hutchinson.
