Death in Paradise fans have been sharing their hopes for a replacement in the BBC crime series' lead role after current star Ralf Little was rumoured to have quit.
The BBC One show, based on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, changes up its British detective character every few seasons and has previously starred Ben Miller, Kris Marshall and Ardal O'Hanlon. Ralf has been playing DI Neville Parker since 2020, but viewers have been speculating that the show could be due a change at the top yet again, after Ralf appears to have gone quiet on fans.

I like Neville very much, but they don't generally keep their detectives for too long." Someone else added: "It's very much time.
The fish-out-of-water trope is getting tired.

On the one hand, Neville really seems to belong on St Marie.
On t'other hand, I feel that some of the cast are just phoning it in now. Perhaps a change would give it a boost. I really don't know," and
