British drama series, Vera, whose lead role is played by Brenda Blethyn (Vera Stanhope) has revealed that she has an accent. She shared that she has been so good at doing her Geordie accent to the extent that she was able to convince locals to believe she was born and raised in the North.

A fan once shared that the showed offered a “tumble dryer mash-up of North East accents.”

Another person also shared, “I love Vera, I do, but the Geordie accents are not good, as someone from North East they are tough to hear.”

Why does Vera always wear a hat?

Actress Brenda Blethyn revealed that she always wore a hat due to a skin condition the character had based on the original story from the book.
