Neil Dudgeon has played DCI John Barnaby in Midsomer Murders since 2011, but fans have been left concerned that he could be replaced - with one Vera star the favourite to take over
Kenny Doughty, known for his role in Vera, is the bookies' favourite to replace Neil Dudgeon if he ever decides to leave Midsomer Murders. Despite Neil having no plans to exit the ITV drama, fans are worried about a potential replacement.
Speaking to the Newcastle Chronicle, Betway spokesperson Chad Yeomans said: "We make the ex-Vera star Kenny Doughty the favourite at 4/1 to replace Neil Dudgeon should he ever stand down as DCI John Barnaby." Midsomer Murders enthusiasts on a dedicated Facebook fan page have been rife with speculation over the future casting of the show's lead detective. One fan pitched the idea: "If Neil Dudgeon ever retired from the show, I think we should bring back Daniel Casey in his place as Chief Inspector Gavin Troy."
