Despite the scheduling shake-up, some viewers were simply delighted to see the show return. One fan shared: “I can’t wait! Seeing the sunshine on yet another cloudy and wet day here!” while another enthused: “Can’t wait, it’s my favourite programme on TV.” Shantol Jackson, who plays DS Naomi Thomas in the show, has spoken about the heart-breaking scenes with the Commissioner.

She said: “It was devastating. The Commissioner is a beloved character and has been with Death in Paradise since day one – it’s kind of a thing where you never know when someone might go. I think the audience’s first reaction will be, ‘Oh my gosh, is Don leaving the show?’ and ‘Is the Commissioner actually going to die?'”

Tahj Miles, who portrays Officer Pryce, shared how his character deals with the shock: “It hits him very hard, he’s in shock and disbelief. But looking around the team, you think it’s hitting him the least because at the end of the day, Marlon is used to seeing this kind of stuff around him, because of where he came from.
“He’s used to hearing about the shootings of friends and colleagues. But he didn’t ever think that that kind of thing would happen to people that are close to him in the police station, especially the Commissioner, who’s the most respected person on the island, bar Catherine.”
