Paul Kaye was involved in an on-screen spat with Brenda Blethyn in his final episode of Vera, with his exit from the ITV show leaving fans gutted.
Paul, who shot to fame as shock journo Dennis Pennis back in the 90s, has been a popular member of the Vera cast for the last few series, with millions of viewers enjoying the banter between his character Doctor Malcolm Donahue and Brenda's leading lady Vera, with the pathologist and no nonsense detective often trading verbal lows over how to handle things.
It was Brenda who confirmed Paul was leaving Vera earlier this month, with her telling ITV: "Paul is one of the most positive people I know. No matter what the circumstances he’ll find something positive to say. There was total respect between Vera and Malcolm along with some very dry humour from him.
