Danny John-Jules Admits to Annoying Cast Members with Antics
Death in Paradise fans adore Danny John-Jules for his charismatic portrayal of Officer Dwayne Myers. However, the actor recently admitted to having a habit that "annoyed" his co-stars during filming. What was the culprit? His fluency in Creole!
“I used to annoy everyone because I could speak the local language,” Danny shared. “The mayor couldn’t believe it when I started speaking Creole despite being born in England. She nearly fell over!”
This playful revelation has only endeared the actor further to fans who already appreciate his vibrant personality on and off the screen.
Don Gilet Joins Death in Paradise as the New Detective
The much-anticipated 2024 Death in Paradise Christmas special will introduce Don Gilet as Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson. Gilet steps into the spotlight following DI Neville Parker’s (Ralf Little) departure after five years on the series.
In a statement, Gilet expressed his excitement: “Being offered the lead role in Death in Paradise feels like a deeply loved and incredibly precious jewel has been placed in my hands. This is a big show with a big heart, and I’m determined to honor its legacy.”
Fans are eager to see how Gilet’s Wilson navigates the mysteries of Saint Marie while bringing his unique flair to the series.
What to Expect in the 2024 Christmas Special
The upcoming Christmas special promises mystery, drama, and a touch of humor. Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington) discovers a British detective vacationing on Saint Marie—just as the pressure to find a new DI heats up. Detective Wilson’s holiday plans are cut short when he’s ordered to stay and solve a baffling case.
A Double Santa Shooting Shocks Saint Marie
The case kicks off with the shocking murder of two Santas, both seemingly shot with the same gun at the exact same time. Celebrity songwriter Tony Hurst (Steven Hartley) becomes the second victim, adding urgency to the investigation. As Wilson’s no-nonsense approach clashes with DS Naomi Thomas (Shantol Jackson) and Officer Darlene Curtis (Ginny Holder), fans can expect sparks to fly both professionally and personally.
Officer Dwayne Myers Faces a Family Surprise
While the new DI tackles his first case, Officer Myers looks forward to a peaceful Christmas fishing trip with his father, Nelson (played by Ram John Holder). But an unexpected phone call threatens to derail their plans.
Reflecting on his time working with Holder, Danny John-Jules said: “I first worked with Ram John Holder in 1985. He’s always been an inspiration—a true legend. And he’s 90 now! Working with him is like sharing the stage with Laurence Olivier.”
