Grantchester fans struggle to embrace new vicar as ITV series has recurring issue ITV viewers were left gutted when Tom Brittney announced he was hanging up his vicar's collar after a nine-season stint as the beloved Will Davenport in the hit detective series.
Taking over from James Norton, who originally played the sleuthing Sidney Chambers for four seasons, Brittney has passed on some wisdom to his successor, former Hollyoaks star Rishi Nair- advice that was once imparted to him by Norton himself.
Meanwhile, Nair's co-star Robson Green, the ever-present Geordie Keating, chimed in with his own nuggets of wisdom, emphasizing the importance of team spirit: "They love it as much as you do, no one's judgemental, there's no ego around there, that's all in my trailer," he said with a chuckle.
As Detective Geordie and Alphy begin to develop their own dynamic duo, echoing the bond once shared with Will, fans have been vocal about a particular gripe: the constant nods to Will's character are making it tough for them to embrace the change.
Brittney opened up during a Q&A, revealing some behind-the-scenes banter: "I remember you [Nair] came into the hotel when we were filming, it was the first time I saw this handsome man and we just chatted", reports the Express.
