And we are back once again this week with head writer and executive producer of Grantchester, Daisy Coulam.
Geordie, after getting promoted to DCI, is shot, and I feared his death would be how Grantchester would end.
Was there ever a discussion about whether Geordie would be killed or simply retire?
He should definitely die." And then you're like, "No," because you need that moment on the meadows at the end.
I mean, he died probably about four times in the story meeting, and we just couldn't do it because it's, it's a love story, and you need your two l- lovers alive at the end, I think.
I mean, it is ultimately, at the end of the day, a story about platonic love, and to have, to end this with one of them dead, I think would be a downer of an ending.
