Could Vera be replaced by Joe? ‘She’s coming to the end of her time in the police force’

Could the ITV series carry on without its namesake?

Actor David Leon has only recently returned to ITV show Vera, but could his character Joe Ashworth eventually replace her?

David originally played the role in the very first series of Vera in 2011. He stayed for four series, until 2014, when he left to pursue other projects.

In the interim, he starred in TV series The Refugees, In the Dark, and Gold Digger. He even popped up in Silent Witness in 2022, playing Oscar Harris in the five Amanda Burton episodes.
