Kenny Doughty has been thanked by a Coronation Street star for the support he gave to them on Vera, in an emotional response after the actor announced he'd quit the ITV drama after eight years as DS Aiden Healy.
Kenny hinted that either he had walked away from the hit detective drama or that the show itself was coming to an end, when he posted some behind the scenes photos on his Instagram grid, along with the rather cryptic caption 'thank you for the memories.' His post sparked panic and speculation amongst Vera fans as to what that meant for the future of the much loved Sunday night favourite and it was on Instagram that Kenny confirmed that he had quit his famous role as Brenda Blethyn's sidekick.
Addressing fans on Monday evening, Kenny wrote: "After 8 years & 35 Vera films I’ve made the difficult decision of handing over DS Healy’s badge. I can confirm I am leaving Vera," before going out to thank Brenda, the rest of the Vera team and fans for all of their support.
