Death in Paradise's new star Don Gilet appeared on BBC show before - but as a very different character
ok.co.ukFollowing the announcement that Don Gilet is the latest British actor to take on the lead role in Death In Paradise, eagle-eyed fans of the hit crime show have pointed out that Don has appeared in the popular series once before.
It turns out that Don was in the first episode of fourth series, Stab in the Dark in 2015 in which a rum distillery owner named Elias was murdered during a seance on the island of Saint Marie.The episode, which also marked the first appearance of fan favourite character Florence Cassell (Josephine Jobert), had DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) investigating the businessman’s death, and eventually deducing that the murderer was Elias’s employee Andre – played by Don Gilet.
It’s not the first time that a Death in Paradise guest star has become the show’s star. Ralf Little, who recently quit the series as DI Neville Parker, originally popped up in an second season episode called A Dash of Sunshine – though he didn’t play the murderer.
