Brenda Blethyn, 76, has paid tribute to her “loyal” co-stars on the popular ITV series. Looking back at her 13 years on Vera, she described the cast’s devotion to the programme as “phenomenal”. While some stars of the show have left, many have remained since it began airing back in 2011.
The actress’s portrayal of Vera Stanhope has helped to grip fans from the start, with crime drama fans often at the edge of their seats as the detective begins to piece together the clues in each case.
As the leading lady, Brenda has watched the show – and the cast – flourish from the start.
“The Vera crew are great,” she recently remarked. “Very loyal. When you consider we started filming Vera 13 years ago now, it’s mostly the same crew today.
“And a lot of local people as well. The loyalty to Vera is phenomenal.

“There’s lots of young people who come in to work on the show and they only know Vera from off the telly.
“So they are all petrified when they come in. I make a point of being daft or making a joke to put them at ease.
“And if they intimidated, they want some advice, I will give it.
“But they are such talented young people, I usually learn from them. It’s great.”
