Darlene Curtis: Last News

DEATH in Paradise fans have praised newcomer Sergeant Naomi Thomas after she replaced Florence Cassell on Friday's episode. BBC One viewers were devastated after Florence said an emotional goodbye to San Marie and DI Neville Parker after her undercover mission came to an end earlier last month.

After six years solving murders on Saint Marie, DI Neville Parker (played by Ralf Little) has called it a day. He left the island on a boat and sailed into the sunset with DS Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert).The whole episode teased a ‘will they, won’t they’ ending for Neville and Florence - and up until the last minute it looked like Neville would be leaving alone as he rejected Florence who put her feelings out on the line. Neville was sticking to the plan to go solo travelling, however as he prepared to leave, he was pulled over by DS Naomi Thomas (Shantol Jackson), Officer Darlene Curtis (Ginny Holder), Officer Dwayne Myers (Danny John-Jules) and Catherine Bordey (Élizabeth Bourgine), who they questioned why he was letting Florence go.
