A Farewell to DI Neville Parker: A Journey Worth Remembering
Season 13 marked the end of an era for DI Neville Parker, played by Ralf Little. His departure from Saint Marie was a bittersweet moment for fans. Neville's time on the island was filled with personal growth, thrilling cases, and a deep connection with his team, especially with Joséphine Jobert's DS Florence Cassell.
Ralf Little shared his thoughts on leaving the show: "My time on Saint Marie has come to an end – what an end! New adventures await Neville, and he got to sail away into the sunset with his best friend. It’s been an absolute privilege and a pleasure to bring Neville Parker to all of you and to share his quite profound journey with you."
Little's portrayal of Neville won over audiences, and his exit leaves big shoes to fill. However, as the actor himself mentioned, "The future is in good hands." And those hands belong to the talented Don Gilet.
