Grantchester fans ‘in tears’ as huge star says bids | UK News
Grantchester devotees had been left reaching for the tissues as Reverend Will Davenport bid a closing farewell to the village.
In the heart-wrenching episode aired on Wednesday (15 January), Tom Brittney’s character, Will, departed amidst tear-jerking moments.
The emotional goodbye between DI Geordie Keating, portrayed by Robson Green, and Will had ITV audiences welling up as the beloved duo ended their partnership.
Will revealed to Geordie his choice to tackle a new problem in Newcastle, which led to Geordie initially concealing his sorrow. Despite giving Will the cold shoulder as his departure loomed, Geordie finally expressed his assist for Will’s new starting.
Viewers flocked to social media to share their reactions, with quite a few fans confessing the episode moved them to tears, studies Cambridgeshire Live.
One viewer posted on X: “Still sobbing @tombrittney Knew it would be hard to say goodbye but not that hard #Grantchester.”
“Didn’t want to. Hoped I wouldn’t. But in the end I had to. Cried my eyes out at the end of this episode of #Grantchester Farewell to #WillDavenport,” one other shared.
A 3rd admirer commented: “I’m 29 years old and it’s been a while since I cried at a TV show as hard as that,” whereas one other said: “Gosh, that was emotional. Great acting from @tombrittney and #robsongreen. #grantchester.”
Yet one other fan expressed: “Am crying my eyes out at #Grantchester Grantchester! ! @GrantchesterUK.”
Tom has referred to as it the “hardest decision of my life” to depart his position as Will. Speaking earlier than the episode aired, he mentioned: “I spent five or six years, and the happiest years of my career so far, in doing Grantchester and playing a character that had so much depth and complexity and it was just a happy place, I’m sure you’ll hear that phrase plenty of times I’m sure.”
“But I think all good things have to come to an end and I think it just felt like the right time to put a full stop, let’s say, on Will’s story and see where they took the story without him.”
“I think Will had such a passionate and fiery start and I think you saw him go through everything and come to a reasonably happy ending. As sad as it was to leave, I think he left in peace and that felt like a good place to end it.”
