Craig Parkinson’s Norman delivers devastating news in Grace season 4 episode 3

As a movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours engrossed in the intricate plots and characters of various shows, I must admit that the recent turn of events in Grace season 4 has left me both saddened and intrigued. Having followed the journey of Norman Potting, played by the talented Craig Parkinson, I find myself emotionally invested in his character’s storyline.


*Warning – contains spoilers for Grace season 4 episode 3*

From the outset of Grace’s current season, it was made clear that Craig Parkinson would be leaving at its conclusion. The actor himself shared this information via a post on Instagram.

After watching season 4, episode 3 – the second last appearance of Parkinson’s character, Norman – it appears I have a clue about how his character might exit the series. In this episode, he shared some shocking news with the team that could potentially signal his departure from the show.

In the course of this week’s inquiry, Norman disclosed to Dr. Edward Crisp that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, hoping to elicit his advice, as analyzing the murderer’s handwriting was crucial.

Following the success of his strategy, Roy commended him for his swift decision-making, yet Norman disclosed that he hadn’t been deceiving – he had in fact been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in a localized area.

Initially, Roy chose not to share it, but later in the show, when the doctor menacingly phoned the station and hinted at his ongoing presence, he disclosed Norman’s cancer diagnosis once more. This time, however, he was overheard by the rest of the team who were on a conference call.

As the rest of the team stared at him in astonishment, Norman remarked casually, “I guess even I can tell that shouting ‘surprise’ isn’t appropriate.

Next week’s episode will reveal the impact of the latest news on the team and Norman, shedding light on its implications for him. Could this event lead to his resignation from the police force?

Parkinson expressed: “It’s been an incredible adventure portraying Norman Potting, running about the streets of Brighton and hanging baddies from the pier at Brighton. I truly hope you have fun watching this season; it’s been a thrill.

As a movie enthusiast myself, I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has watched, encouraged, and even taken the time to say hello during our filming adventures around Brighton and Hove. We’ve got a fresh season of Grace coming your way, and this is our last one together. Here’s wishing you all an enjoyable experience!
