‘Grantchester’: Robson Green & Tom Brittney on Season 7 Relationship Woes
Preview
The vicarage has a new occupant as Season 7 of the Masterpiece Mystery! series Grantchester opens in summer 1959.
Police inspector Geordie Keating (Robson Green) is cohabiting with his crime-solving best friend, Will Davenport (Tom Brittney), while trying to win back estranged wife Cathy (Kacey Ainsworth). “He thinks she’s just going to come back,” Green says, “but the more time he spends away from her, the more detached they become.”

In between cases, Reverend Will’s love life gets steamy, and complicated. He falls for Maya (Ellora Torchia), a gal he encounters at a jazz club, but there’s another contender in town: Cathy’s spirited niece Bonnie (Call the Midwife’s Charlotte Ritchie), a young widow with an adorable son (Isaac Highams). One of the ladies calls Will an “incredibly entitled ass.”
“Will is a little bit restless and is kind of a newly sexually liberated vicar,” Brittney previews, noting that his character has “to sort out who he is and what he wants in life.”
Meanwhile, former curate Leonard Finch (Al Weaver) is still on the scene. Sporting a turtleneck where his collar used to be, he opens a poets’ café! He also provides devout vicarage housekeeper Mrs. Chapman (Tessa Peake-Jones) with support when she loses her faith in God.
Prepare for a shocking finale to the six-part season, which marks a milestone for Brittney: He’s now appeared in more Grantchester episodes (26) than original lead James Norton. How blessed we are!

I am disappointed that Will has continued to engage in casual sex. He thinks he is falling in love with a woman. Or is it just lust? Foolish to risk his job and worse, to risk a pregnancy without being in a committed relationship.

He does seem to be tossing it about rather casually for the 1950’s. Did the Brits get the pill before us? That said, i love the characters and the stories. Took me a while to get over Sidney.

Maybe he changes into civvies and pedals to a neighboring village for condoms.

I’m disappointed in Will’s casual sexual encounter. One night stands don’t befit a vicar.

I've always been a fan of Robson Green, but throughout this series he's seemed tired and sad even beyond the character's mood.

He does seem world weary most of the time.
