Death in Paradise: Old Character Returns, But There's a Twist?

Calling all Death in Paradise fans! The sunny Caribbean detective show is back with a new mystery, and it sounds like a doozy! But that's not all – a familiar face might be returning to the island paradise of Saint Marie very soon.

Farewell Marlon, But Hello...?

We said goodbye to Officer Marlon Pryce (played by Tahj Miles) last episode. He left the team to be with his sister in Jamaica. But fear not, because Death in Paradise works fast!  A new episode airs this Sunday, and a teaser hints at the return of an "old face."

Who's Coming Back?

The show isn't giving any clues away just yet about who this mystery guest star might be.  The synopsis for episode six is intriguing, though! It says an "old face" returns to Saint Marie, but not everyone is happy to see them.

Could it be a former detective?  

Maybe an old friend of Commissioner Patterson?  We'll have to wait and watch to find out!

A Murder in an Elevator?

The new episode also promises a head-scratching murder case. The team will be investigating the puzzling death of a tourist who was stabbed...while alone...in an elevator!

A Bucket List with a Twist

Things get even more complicated when the investigators discover the victim's bucket list.  Here's the strange part: a trip to the Caribbean wasn't even on it!  What was the victim really doing on Saint Marie, and who wanted them dead?
