New Death In Paradise guest stars revealed with Siobhan Finneran and more
Siobhan Finneran, Scarlett Alice Johnson and more have joined the cast of Death In Paradise.
Siobhan Finneran and Scarlett Alice Johnson are joining Death In Paradise.
The hit BBC murder mystery show is returning for its 15th season, and a whole host of new guest stars are heading to Saint Marie as the police force is tasked with discovering the truth behind more killings.
Joining the cast this time round in guest roles are Happy Valley actress Siobhan, and former EastEnders star Scarlett.
Also joining the fray are Spooks' Hermione Norris, Ghosts co-creator and actor Ben Willbond, and Gavin and Stacey star Steffan Rhodri.
The synopsis for the upcoming series reads: "Whilst attempting to connect with his recently discovered half-brother Solomon (Daniel Ward), Mervin's newfound familial happiness soon turns to frustration as he discovers the pair are not quite as similar as he hoped they might be.
"Elsewhere, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington) is left facing the consequences of his recent absence from the island.
"After some no-nonsense advice from old friend Catherine Bordey (Elizabeth Bourgine), Selwyn sets out to rebuild trust — though winning back Saint Marie may prove easier said than done.
"Detective Sergeant Naomi Thomas (Shantol Jackson) and Officer Sebastian Rose (Shaquille Ali-Yebuah) help new recruit Sergeant Mattie Fletcher (Catherine Garton) find her feet.
"But with shadows from Mattie's past beginning to surface, her arrival may bring more complications than anyone bargained for."
Meanwhile, returning star Don Gilet - Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson - has given a hint of what to espect from Mattie.
He said: "There's definitely something of a rebel in Mattie. We haven't had that rebellious element, really.
"She's a bit younger, probably a similar age, give or take, to Officer Seb Rose, but she's seen a lot more. "She’s a sergeant and she’s more experienced and is always on the front foot, whereas Seb is going through his rookie stripes.
"It’s great seeing how the two of them connect – there’s a nurturing side as well as a rebellious side. She’s a great addition to the team."
