Brenda Blethyn is "over the moon" to welcome David Leon back to ITV drama, Vera.
The show will be back for its thirteenth series with a very familiar face as actor and director David returns to the ITV drama as the much-loved Joe Ashworth. Joe stood alongside Vera for a number of series, but was replaced by Kenny Doughty, who plays DS Aidan Healey when Joe made the move away from Newcastle upon Tyne.
However, David will be back as Joe for the new series as Kenny quits the ITV drama and actress Brenda Blethyn has shared her excitement at being reunited with her former co-star.
