Having played no-nonsense sleuth DCI Vera Stanhope for 13 years, Brenda is now stepping back in front of the camera for a final time as her legendary alter ego, with it being confirmed last week that the two new feature-length episodes will be the show's last.
However, before filming for the final few episodes has even finished, fans are already speculating for who might replace her as they hope for the much-loved show to continue.

Posting on social media, a few fans have suggested that Happy Valley's Sarah Lancashire dons the trenchcoat instead.
Not quite ready to let go of the series and posting to a Facebook group, one user said: "I think Vera should carry on. Someone should come in to take over and Vera shows them the ropes.
They become close and trust each other and then Vera knows she can happily retire knowing her work will carry on in good hands."
Vera episodes are available to watch on ITVX.
