BBC's Death In Paradise fans have discovered Don Gilet's previous role as he steps into Ralf Little's shoes. Don Gilet, known for his chilling portrayal of Walford serial killer Lucas Johnson in EastEnders, first appeared on the BBC One show in 2015, where he played a villain during Kris Marshall's tenure as detective Humphrey Goodman.
He was cast as a murderer who offed the owner of a rum distillery during a seance. Show bosses have revealed that Don will make his debut as the new detective in this year's Christmas special, before returning to the show for a fresh series in 2025.
While fans celebrated the move, applauding Don as the first black actor to take the lead role in the show, they also took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to recall Don's original Death In Paradise appearance, reports the Mirror. One fan wrote: "Ah ha was in Series 4 Ep1, got rid of 2 people! Think avid fans wouldn't notice! But welcome anyway Don Gilet, you're going to be brilliant, because you're such a fabulous actor.
Have to admit some brilliant actors have passed through Death in Paradise." Another commented: "I like him but I guess this throws contingency out the window", while a third added: "he's already been in it as a killer of his boss at a rum distillery... Why must TV shows keep doing this I love Death in Paradise but now I can't watch because I just see him in the part he played in it." One fan mused over Don Gilet's former role and the possibility it could open doors for unexpected plot developments: "Are they going to acknowledge his previous involvement in the show, or just make him a new character? Twin maybe? ".
