Honeysuckle Weeks to lead 'Death in Paradise'?

Another season of 'Death in Paradise' has ended on March 24, 2024. Ex-DS Neville Parker (Ralf Little) sailed off into the sunset with the love of his live ex-DS Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert).

With Ralf Little having exited 'Death in Paradise', fans have immediately started to speculate on who could replace him as the lead in the series.

I personally would like to see Alan Davies play a sort of Jonathan Creek-like type of detective.

However, should the BBC want a female to take on the role for the first time, then Diane Morgan is now is the 6/4 favourite to be the next DI on 'Death in Paradise'. Diane Morgan is best known for her portrayal of Philomena Cunk, an ill-informed investigative reporter.

The producers of 'Death in Paradise' might have a surprise candidate for the role of the new Detective Inspector. According to a newspaper article, Honeysuckle Weeks is a firm favourite to become the lead detective on 'Death in Paradise'. She is now 4/1 to takeover the role.

The Telegraph calls her an 'inspired choice'. 'They could do far worse [than choosing Honeysuckle Weeks]', claims entertainment expert James Leyfield.

And, well, Honeysuckle Weeks' latest theatre tour, 'Calendar Girls', has just ended. So, she's free to travel to Guadeloupe Saint Marie.

We wait with bated breath.
