Brenda Blethyn, known for her role as DCI Vera Stanhope on the long-running ITV drama show, recently shared details of her living situation with her husband of 15 years. Following her departure from the show after 14 successful years, Brenda opted to step away from her iconic character.
In a surprising announcement last year, Brenda confirmed her decision to leave the show, with her final scenes airing in a Christmas special and a two-part series earlier this year. Expressing gratitude for her time on the show, Brenda praised the creators, cast, and crew for their talent and camaraderie.
Post her stint as Vera, Brenda has shed light on her current living arrangement with her husband, Michael Mayhew. The couple resides in the same building in Kent but chose to occupy separate apartments due to their differing preferences. Brenda humorously shared how they now enjoy their own spaces while still sharing meals and activities together.
Brenda had previously disclosed that her choice to exit Vera was driven by her desire to spend more quality time with her family. Despite her love for the show and her on-set family, she felt the need to prioritize her personal life and reunite with her loved ones, including her beloved dog, Jack.
Reflecting on her decision to leave Vera, Brenda acknowledged the importance of balancing work and family commitments. She highlighted the significance of cherishing her time with loved ones and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work on the show for over a decade.
