Based on the best-selling book by Ann Cleeves about Vera Stanhope, ITV's drama first premiered in 2011 and has told many gripping stories over the course of 14 years. Along the way, we have also welcomed and said goodbye to several characters, and although David Leon left "Vera" in the role of Joe Ashworth in season 4, his return in season 13 as Inspector became a wonderful moment for the long-running show. Since it was confirmed that the series "Vera" is ending, we have been eagerly awaiting the return of our beloved detective Vera with a mix of excitement and sadness. Knowing that the 14th season of "Vera" will be the last when Brenda Blethyn dons her iconic macintosh as Inspector Vera Stanhope, means that the final episodes have always been destined to be bittersweet. However, the fact that fans will get a few more episodes of "Vera" to bid farewell to her as she deserves, is something we are very grateful for.
