The final episode of the ITV drama Vera premiered in January, and now Brenda Blethyn, the show’s main actress, has shared details about filming the last scenes.
Brenda Blethyn, while on BBC One’s The One Show to discuss her new movie Dragonfly, revealed she was overcome with emotion on her last day filming the TV series Vera. She said she was so upset she couldn’t even speak.
David Suchet, sitting with Brenda Blethyn, described his final day filming Poirot. He said it was a very emotional experience realizing that after 25 years, the last scene was finished and that was it.
After living with a character for 25 years, they truly become a part of who I am. I feel like I know them better than I know many real people.
Brenda Blethyn has been very busy since finishing her 14-year run as Vera on ITV. Her new production company, Dragonfly, has already earned her a nomination at the British Independent Film Awards this year.
Imelda Staunton and Andrea Riseborough have both been nominated for Best Joint Performance for their work in the film Dragonfly, which will be released in UK cinemas this Friday, November 7th.
Talking about her latest movie role, Blethyn explained that many of us likely have a lonely neighbor we don’t really notice. She pointed out that it’s easy to criticize caregivers, but they’re incredibly busy and doing their best – everyone is, really – and sometimes people inevitably get overlooked.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, actress Brenda Blethyn discussed the film’s themes of technology and generational differences, recalling a simpler time. She remembered eagerly waiting for the postman to deliver handwritten letters from loved ones.
Communication has really changed. It started with phone calls, then moved to emails and texts. Now, people often just respond with emojis – like a thumbs-up to answer a question. It makes you wonder what that even means!
You know, it’s funny thinking about how we used to connect. When letter-writing faded, at least the telephone allowed for a real conversation. But now? It’s all this digital stuff, and honestly, I worry about older generations. They didn’t grow up with it, and it’s just not as easy for them to navigate. It feels like something’s lost when a simple chat gets replaced by screens and apps.
Dragonfly explores the growing issue of loneliness in modern society. The story centers on Elsie, an elderly woman who forms an unlikely friendship with her younger neighbor, Colleen. As Colleen helps Elsie with everyday tasks like shopping and cleaning, both women find companionship and a renewed sense of purpose, bringing joy back into their lives.
John is angry at Colleen for taking on duties he’s avoided. This creates a lot of tension, leading to unexpected and dramatic events in a powerful story about life in modern Britain.
