I loved Vera's character. Terrifically played by the wonderful Fiona Spence she showed Vera indeed as a prisoner of her own life, taunted through the years by her own mother and then when she sadly passed away Vera was left alone - a prisoner of her lonliness.
I did feel sorry for her at times, the women quite rightly gave her a hard time but she did have a soft spot for old Lizzie. I really wanted Vera to be lucky in love before she left the series but alas her career meant the world to her and nothing was going to get in the way of her sitting in the governor's seat!
