The much-loved series Death in Paradise made a welcome return to screens on Monday evening, delighting fans with a rerun of one of the show's popular episodes from 2020. Viewers were overjoyed to see their favorite characters - Ralf Little as Neville Parker and Shyko Amos as Officer Ruby Patterson - once again despite both having departed from the show. The episode featured Tobi Bakare as Officer JP Hooper and Aude Legastelois as Detective Madeleine Dumas, who have also left the show.

Set against the exotic backdrop of Saint Marie, the police team is thrown into action investigating a murder that disrupts what should have been a joyous occasion - an aunt brutally killed at a beauty salon on her niece's wedding day. Complications arise when suspect number one turns out to be Ruby's former sweetheart, who is also the wedding's groom, adding a personal twist to the case. Audiences flocked to Twitter to express their excitement and engage with fellow fans.

One fan humorously noted: "Good thing only one murder happens at a time since it takes the whole police department to solve one case #DeathinParadise." Several others couldn't hide their glee, posting: "Oooh Death in Paradise is on," and "It's raining outside so it's sunny time #deathinparadise," reports the Express . The return of Neville Parker stirred up particular joy with tweets like: "Thank you BBC for putting an episode of Death in Paradise on with Neville Parker #ralflittle#nevilleparker.
