The character last appeared in season 4, episode 2 of the ITV crime drama in 2019, which centres on the unconventional crime-fighting partnership between the local vicar and Robson Green's DI Geordie Keating in the Cambridge village of Grantchester.
Cameo hopes were quickly dashed, however, when RadioTimes.com was informed that Norton is not expected to feature (although that could be a cover story to preserve the surprise). Instead, he had simply swung by to say hello to his former colleagues, which they spoke about during a recent press Q&A ahead of Grantchester's upcoming 10th season.
"And this guy walks in, very tall, incredibly charismatic, sits in the corner, starts reading a book. And I'm thinking, 'That can't be... that cannot be James Norton?'
"And it was James Norton. And he turns around and he goes, 'WTF!' And we go, 'WTF!' And we sit down and reminisce. And then James came to our [wrap] party, and Tom [Brittney, who played Will Davenport] came to our party, and there I am."
"And it was joyous on so many levels, and [executive producer] Emma [Kingsman-Lloyd] gave us just a knockout speech there, just reminding us all of what a beautiful journey it's been. And that [Norton appearing] was crazy. That was pure coincidence. Kacey couldn’t speak."
"He said he hadn't even been in that restaurant for about two, three years, and he just had literally popped in to have a quick bite to eat before he was going to the theatre," she added.
"So if you want a bit of magic in your life, that's what you've got to do, you've got to watch this."
"But they must also support each other through changing times, family struggles and personal secrets," reads the season 10 synopsis.
"This is Geordie and Alphy's first big series together," said writer Daisy Coulam. "It's about that friendship, which is basically the centre of every series, really, but it's about Geordie... discovering that Alphy maybe isn't quite the glass half full guy that he seems to be, that there might be something more going on under the surface."

Nair echoed that, revealing that Alphy is "going through a lot" in season 10.
