Brenda Blethyn: The secret of Vera's success 

Just love Brenda Blethyn, as a serious actress and a comedic actress. Very few actor's can do both. A true legend, that deserves more recognition xx

Brenda Blethyn is absolutely one of the most talented artists of our time. She's just incredible. She is even more appealing in "real life." Very down to earth, very intelligent, very real. Great lady.

Brenda Blethyn is a brilliant outstanding actress! And her Vera is one of the best series on earth. I truly love her!

I really love her skill as an actress, I often forget she is a person behind her character. The Vera character is so believable too.

I love that woman. She is so talented and very simple.

Vera's competence is what comes through - no need for high fashion, swelte bodies instead Intelligence, Honesty, Caring, Knowledge is valued

Brenda Blethyn is terrific... love her as VERA. VERA is spot on real... adore her.

Wonderful character and person!!!! I understand why she is so much liked. She deserves the success, she is sooo true, natural, lovable even when nervous and impatient... GREAT!

I watch at least one episode every day. Seen them all about 4 or 5 times. Great show, thanks to Brenda.

I really love Brenda as Vera. I watched it on TV before reading the books. Now I’m hooked on the both.

Love Brenda Blethyn. She’s such an amazing actress and a credit to her industry.

I just love Brenda

The greatest show on tv, I’m my opinion. She is beyond wonderful! Love her!!!

Love you Vera!

I just wish for this show to continue forever...hope this show never ends...Brenda such an amazing actress.Waiting eagerly for the next season ❤️

Vera is a down to earth character with a cheeky grin that says “don’t worry I’m on to you” Brenda Blethyn is such a great actor she makes Vera very believable long may she reign please, please please .

Love Brenda Blethyn

"Are you Mussolini?" Loved that scene :D So funny!

She's so talented, versatile and REAL!

She looks so good, I can't believe she's actually 69 years old. I noticed her as Auguste van Pels in 'Anne Frank: The Whole Story' and have loved her since.
