The next episode of Vera looks set to be an emotional one for the cast and fans alike, as not one, but two stars, will bow out at the same time.
There was some exciting news for fans of the long-running ITV drama on Thursday when channel bosses confirmed that, after some question marks over its future, it will be back for series 13, which is set to go into production soon. So far this year, die hard Vera viewers have got to see six new episodes of their favourite Sunday night favourite: the 'missing' parts from series 11, that they'd been waiting a year to see and then four feature length episodes from series 12.
Things hurtled to a dramatic conclusion in series finale The Darkest Evening, with fans even concerned that Vera could be a goner, as she fell to the floor as gun shots were heard. Thankfully, DCI Stanhope was fine and lived to solve another case.
