JP Hooper’s Return: A Moment Fans Have Been Waiting For
After departing the series in 2021, Tobi Bakare made a surprise comeback in the opening episode of Season 14. His return instantly sparked speculation about whether JP Hooper could be making a permanent comeback to the hit BBC drama.
When speaking exclusively to Flickcore.us and other media outlets, Tobi teased his future, saying with a grin: “So I’m in this episode…”
Could JP Stay for Good? Here’s What Tobi Bakare Says
Delving deeper into the discussion, Bakare explained that actors ultimately serve the story and don’t always have control over the direction their characters take. However, he hinted that if the storyline makes sense, there’s always a possibility for more:
“Sometimes our job as actors is to service the story, and you can’t dictate what that story is. But if the story makes sense, then your character being there makes sense. For me, the story made sense. Whether it’ll make sense next year, or the year after… we’ll see!”
This cryptic response has left fans eagerly guessing—could there be more JP Hooper in store for Death in Paradise?
What’s Next for JP Hooper? Tobi Bakare Weighs In
While Tobi remains tight-lipped about his future on the show, he did share insights into what he envisions for JP’s development.
“JP has a strong moral code, and everything he does stems from that,” Bakare noted.
He expressed excitement at the idea of exploring deeper layers of JP’s personality, including how he handles moral dilemmas and grows into an authoritative figure within the police force.
“It would be interesting to see that code get challenged a bit more. We’ve touched on it in past seasons, but there’s still room to push the boundaries.”
Returning to Death in Paradise: A Nostalgic Experience
For Bakare, stepping back onto the Death in Paradise set felt like coming home. The actor expressed immense gratitude for the outpouring of love from both fans and the production crew:
“It’s remarkable—people still come up to me saying they love my character and asking when I’ll be back. Sometimes, you don’t truly realize the impact of your work until you step away from it.”
His return to the island of Guadeloupe was equally heartwarming, with crew members welcoming him with open arms:
“Even when I went back to Guadeloupe, I had so many crew members excited to see me. I didn’t even know I was coming back myself! You never truly know the impact you have.”
Will JP Hooper Stay in Death in Paradise? The Verdict
While there’s no official confirmation on JP’s long-term future, his return in Season 14 has reignited fans’ hopes. With Bakare himself open to revisiting his character’s journey, the door certainly doesn’t seem closed.
For now, we can only hope that JP Hooper’s story isn’t over just yet!
