Think it was pretty inevitable though. Getting to the point where Endeavour is catching Morse up, set about 10 years or so before Morse started(82?). Shaun Evans would need to rapidly age into John Thaw. As for the Strange character, well!
I've a sneaky feeling Fred Thursday will be. He didn't even get a mention in any of the Morse series. The only ones who did of course were Jim Strange who became Morse's boss, and dear old Max DeBruyn the pathologist, both superbly played in later life by different actors.Think it was pretty inevitable though.

Agree it will be missed, Roger Allam is superb in it. Going to stick my neck out and predict the main character won't get killed off.
Just love Sara Vickers.
I'd like to think there is a happy ending for Fred Thursday. Several times across Endeavor he has come up against serious crime gangs and police corruption. Maybe he's a prime witness in a major police corruption trial and gets witness protection and a new life with Mrs Thursday far away. Morse says his goodbyes and walks away and never mentions him again to maintain the secrecy but carries Thursday's ethos, honour, sense of duty and fairness with him for life....blimey, I'm filling up here !
