Paul Kaye has landed his first role since his departure from Vera left his co-stars and ITV viewers gutted.
Paul,. the star who rose tro notoriety in the 90s and as spoof journalist Dennis Pennis, quickly became a big favourite when he joined the Vera cast as pathologist Dr Malcolm Donahue, with fans, particularly enjoying his barbed banter with Brenda Blethyn's on screen alias.
Paul's departure from Vera was confirmed by Brenda herself, before the new run had even kicked off on ITV. Dr Malcolm played a key role in the 'missing' episodes of series 11, which viewers had waited nearly a year to see, before bowing out in series 12 opener Against The Tide. And Dr Malcolm didn't leave the fold without aiming a few last jabs in Vera's direction,. firstly condemning her for "trampling all over," before bidding a final farewell to DCI Stanhope by telling her: ""Thanks, it's been fun. ...sort of!"
