the seventh series of the popular ITV1 drama will be the last.
He says both he and the crime drama’s star Kevin Whately had agreed to call
it a day.
In the show, which followed on from Morse after the death of John Thaw,
Laurence plays Detective Sergeant James Hathaway and Kevin is Inspector Robert
“Robbie” Lewis.
Confirming the end of the show, Laurence said: “Kev and I have decided we
want to do other things, otherwise it all gets a bit samey.”
Laurence, whose next job is playing a squaddie on stage, also said he and
wife Billie Piper plan to move to the US to pursue work there.
I personally think this is a good idea, as seven series will be more than enough of this series, and it will give the actors a chance to go on and do other things. I wish Laurence and Kevin the best of luck in whatever they decide to do next, and I look forward to seeing these great two actors on screen soon in something new.
