Classification	Main cast
Profile
Occupation	Detective Inspector

DI Neville Parker from London in the UK and became the new Honore Police inspector after the departure of DI Jack Mooney. He initially hates everything on the island, and has severe allergies, but his main allergy is mosquito bites. After he checked through the crime scene of his first murder case, he plans on catching another plane back to the UK, but his flight was cancelled by Commissioner Patterson. DI Parker moves into the shack, but in the middle of the night, he couldn't stand the mosquitos, and checks into a hotel. After solving his first case, DI Parker collapses and has an injection. He moves back into the shack as the police budget wouldn't let him remain in the hotel. After solving a murder case in episode 8, he plans on flying back home, but a talk with a blind actress about her attempt to face the challenges of her condition prompted Parker to change his mind and decide to stay as inspector permanently. At the start of series 10 he has continued to struggle to adapt to life on the island, but the returning DS Florence Cassell helps him embrace Caribbean life more.

Family Brothers 5 unnamed brothers Spouse Patrice Campbell (fiancé; deceased)

At the age of 27, Cassell replaces Fidel as Sergeant at the start of Series 4, and later is promoted to Detective Sergeant when Camille Bordey leaves midway through the series. She works efficiently and gets along with all the team, establishing a strong connection with Goodman when she is promoted. She is sent a note by Camille in order to know how to 'control' Goodman, and they both drink to Camille after she helps solve her first case as Detective Sergeant. She is very intelligent and always observes suspects carefully for any clues. In the team's visit to the UK, Cassell proved more willing to explore little details of life in Britain than Myers, although she still found the Guinness thick for her taste. In Series 8, Florence is revealed to be in a romantic relationship with Patrice, a new character. He proposed to her in the third episode and they became engaged. However, after one of Patrice's friends was arrested for murder in the fifth episode, Cassell overheard him talking to someone on the phone about the crime, and followed him to an old boathouse, where she was shot at the end of the episode. At the beginning of the sixth episode, she was able to call JP and get the rest of the team there in time to get her to the hospital, but they soon discovered Patrice's body in the boathouse. Cassell was devastated at the news, even as the subsequent investigation confirmed that Patrice's friend had been psychologically manipulated into committing the previous murder so that the real guilty party would receive a major inheritance. Talking with Jack about how he coped with the death of his wife, after the killer was arrested, Florence decided to leave Saint Marie and move to Martinique with relatives to get away from the memories of Patrice, but Jack and the others assured her that her spot on the team would be open if she ever decided to come back. In Series 10, two years on from Patrice's death, she returns to the island after her 'successor', Madeline Dumas, takes a job opportunity in Paris and takes Officer Ruby Patterson on secondment with her, leaving the island short-staffed and prompting the Commissioner to ask for her help.

Replaces Florence Cassell as a new police officer in series 4, episode 5 when she is promoted. He is 21, and the youngest member of the team. He is taken under the wing of Dwayne – a police officer who Hooper says he heard all about at police training college. He initially ended up watering the plants on his first day, because of a lack of things to do. He slept in the police cells temporarily because he could not find a place to live. Goodman found him one night, amidst much screaming and shock; Catherine, who had a spare room after Camille's departure, invited him to stay with her, an offer JP enthusiastically took up. He has a brother, who, when JP was three years old, pushed him into a swimming pool, leading to JP developing a fear of water. In series five he meets Rosey Fabrice (a girl who was in the year above him in school and he had a crush on) when she is a suspect in a murder during a charity fashion show. They soon begin dating and fall in love. Eventually, after being in a relationship for several months, JP proposes to Rosey and she gladly accepts. In the final episode of Series 5, JP and Rosey got married. In the first episode of series eight, he reveals his initials stand for Jean Pierre, when introducing himself to Florence's boyfriend, whom he mistakes for Dwayne's replacement. When Officer Ruby Patterson joined the team on series 8 episode 2, he was annoyed by her being distracted while on duty, but he has a close friendship with her. On series 9 episode 6, JP learns that his wife, Rosey is pregnant, which she told him about on their wedding anniversary.

Profile
Occupation	Landlady Bar Owner/Waitress Mayor of Honore (6.8-present)
Family Daughters Camille Bordey

Camille's French mother and owner of a bar where the police team often chat about the case over a drink. She makes a particularly good cup of tea, according to DI Richard Poole, although generally their relationship with each other is strained because of his prejudice toward the French. She raised Camille as a single mother and is therefore very close to her; she does not react badly when Camille confirms she is thinking of leaving, in fact, she supports Camille and respects her choices, urging her to do whatever makes her happy. When Camille leaves, she has a spare room and lets the homeless JP stay in it when Goodman finds out he has nowhere to live and is sleeping in the police cells. In series 5 episode 5, JP told Catherine that he's in love with his high school crush, Rosey Fabrice, but was told not to confess by Dwayne, which angers Catherine, who confronts Dwayne to encourage JP to confess to Rosey.

Following the resignation of Mayor Joseph Richards in a scandal at the end of Series 6, Episode 1, Catherine decided to stand as a candidate in the mayoral election to replace him. She was successfully elected in Series 6, Episode 8 after one of the other candidates was murdered due to an old vendetta and the other was convinced to stand down from the election by the police team after they discovered his hypocritical actions. During the investigation, it is strongly implied that the killers attempted to frame Catherine for the murder, but this part of the plan failed as none of the team could believe that Catherine would do such a thing.

Commissioner Selwyn Patterson

Selwyn Patterson
Death in Paradise character
Portrayed by	Don Warrington
Duration	2011-
First appearance	Series 1, Episode 1
Classification	supporting cast
Profile
Occupation	Commissioner
Family Nephews Darcus Patterson Nieces Ruby Patterson

The island's police commissioner, who has risen through the ranks to become Saint Marie's top policeman, in charge of staffing. He advises the team on cases of particular difficulty or of political or social interest where the island's most notable figures are involved, ranging from asking Poole to be cautious about accusing a man with a particular reputation on the island to asking Poole not to disprove the idea that a notorious pirate hid his treasure on the island. It was revealed in episode 3.3 that Judge Ann Stone (Josette Simon) put him in jail for a day over parking fines. Initially more apparently focused on political implications over individuals, such as being angered at Poole when a suspect was stabbed in the back while in Poole's custody because of the implications for public perception, he has shown signs of softening over time, such as allowing an incident where Officer Meyers told a journalist that the commissioner blundered around like an old goat to be dismissed as a significant misquote, and warmly welcomed new D.I. Jack Mooney to the island after Humphrey Goodman requested reassignment.

Past characters

Characters who have previously starred in a main role in the programme, in standard credit order:

Detective Inspector Richard Poole

Richard Poole
Death in Paradise character
Portrayed by	Ben Miller
Duration	2011–2014, 2021
First appearance	Series 1, Episode 1
Last appearance	Series 10, Episode 6
Classification	main cast
Profile
Occupation	Detective Inspector

A British inspector assigned to the island to investigate the previous inspector's murder, Poole was instructed to remain on the island as the new police detective. Despite his distaste for the island and inexperience with tropical weather – to the point where he continued to wear his old suits – he often showed a useful knack for making deductive leaps based on minimal information and apparently random events, and favoured making arrests by addressing all the suspects at once before identifying the killer. In series 2 he grew slightly more relaxed. He recommended Fidel for the sergeant's exam. Poole briefly returned to London, but in spite of his distaste for Saint Marie, he chose to return. Poole was murdered in the first episode of Series 3, at an on-island reunion of Cambridge university classmates, by Helen Reid, when he threatened to expose her identity theft. He was replaced by DI Humphrey Goodman.

Poole makes a brief guest cameo in Series 10, Episode 6 when Camille returned to the island briefly to help on a case and due to her mother Catherine being admitted to Hospital after being attacked. He encourages her to spend more time with Catherine before disappearing, being simply a fragment of Camille's mind.

Occupation	Detective Sergeant
Family Father Marlon Croft Mother Catherine Bordey

A former undercover investigator, she was assigned to the precinct because her cover was blown when she was arrested during Poole's first investigation. She was the team's best investigator after Poole, often handling the computer work. Initially, she and Poole did not get along as a result of a culture clash. Over time their relationship became a friendship, and showed some hints of romance – when he briefly left the island, she admitted she admired him considerably, and was pleased when he chose to return. His murder in the opening scenes of Series 3 devastated her and she was unsure about his successor, DI Humphrey Goodman, although she warmed to him over time. She was then offered an undercover job in Paris, and she decided to leave. As she left, she kissed Humphrey. She had not previously expressed emotions for him, although he had for her.

Her mother Catherine owns a popular local bar. Her father, Marlon Croft, who lives in the neighboring island of St. Lucia, reappears in the episode 5 of series 3, protecting his goddaughter, who's implicated in a case. After suspecting him, Camille starts reconciling with him.

In Series 10, Episode 6, Camille returns to the island after Commissioner Patterson contacted her to return to help on a case, and due to her mother being admitted to hospital after being attacked. She successfully helps the team solve the case and, following advice given to her after conversing with a memory of DI Richard Poole, decides to spend a few weeks away with Catherine to make up for not visiting her since leaving the island, after which she returned to her role in Paris.

He is put forward for his sergeant's exams by his boss, DI Richard Poole, in series 2, in recognition of his hard work. He passes them, and officially becomes a sergeant. Fidel often gets stressed and sticks to protocol, whereas Dwayne is the complete opposite. Nevertheless, the two become great friends.

Family Father Martin Goodman Wife Sally Goodman (divorced) Aunts Mary Goodman

Humphrey is assigned to Saint Marie after the murder of D.I. Richard Poole at the start of Series 3. Clues from Poole's investigation helped Goodman reveal the motive and the killer's identity; Goodman commented that Poole had 'solved his own murder.' Goodman stayed on in Saint Marie after his wife Sally announced she would not be joining him on the Caribbean island. He became the chief inspector on the island, and took to Poole's old habit of announcing the murderer in front of all the suspects and his police team. Though he is very clumsy, often forgetting things or finding himself with nothing to take notes on, he has a knack at being able to solve murders instantly, looking at the meaning of small details, much like his predecessor. He embraces Caribbean life much more than Poole did. He fell in love with his detective sergeant, Camille Bordey, often coming close to revealing his feelings for her. He tried to stop her leaving when she requested a job in Paris, but conceded. He shared a passionate kiss with her just before she left the island. Her successor, Florence Cassell, also managed to get along with Goodman, often sharing jokes and they dedicate a drink to Camille after their first solved case. He would later develop romantic feelings for Martha Lloyd and they kissed at the start of series 6. She leaves at episode 6.4 to London, but after a case takes Humphrey to London he meets up with her and they reconcile.

Occupation	Officer
Family Father Nelson Myers Aunts Lilibeth Jean

Dwayne is the longest-standing officer of the Saint Marie police force, but utterly lacks ambition; he has complete faith in his seniors and perhaps too good an understanding of the criminal world on the island. Dwayne often uses unlawful means to get his job done, and has an eye for the ladies, sometimes getting distracted, even by his senior DS Florence Cassell. He is the go-to man for any investigations into the shadier aspects of Saint Marie. It is revealed he has a sister, who locked him in a trunk for three hours when he was five years old; this led to Dwayne developing a secret fear of the dark. His parents divorced when he was very young and his father abandoned him after a few months of weekend visits, leaving Dwayne to grow up on his own. As of Series 4, episode 5, he is the last remaining original team member apart from Commissioner Selwyn Patterson. Dwayne later left Saint Marie and the team after series 7 episode 8. It was mentioned by Jack and JP that Dwayne went on a voyage trip with his father, Nelson.

A police detective inspector from London, Detective Inspector Jack Mooney is a recent widower, his wife having died from a long illness a month ago, although he gives the impression that it was longer when talking with others so that people won't feel too sorry for him. Jack meets D.I. Humphrey Goodman, D.S. Florence Cassell and Officer Dwayne Myers from Saint Marie, acting as their London liaison when a case requires them to travel to London to track their suspects. After solving the case, Humphrey resigned from Saint Marie Police to stay in London to be with his girlfriend, Martha Lloyd, but nominates Jack as his successor as Saint Marie's new Detective Inspector. Initially assuming that this is just a holiday of a few weeks, Jack goes to Saint Marie with his daughter, Siobhan, but accepts the suggestion of this becoming a more long-term exchange for the opportunity to make a new life away from memories of his lost wife. He has already begun work on renovating the cabin to dispose of old furniture and incorporate a bed due to his own discomfort at sleeping in a hammock. While still just officially on holiday, Mooney assists the team in resolving a re-opened investigation into the death of a newspaper editor eight years ago, subsequently exposing those responsible for murdering one of the candidates in the recent mayoral election. After this, he and Siobhan decide to accept the offer to stay. When Siobhan left to go back the UK to attend university, Jack felt alone, and he rarely goes home. Jack supports Florence when her fiancé Patrice was murdered and mentioned how he had to go through his wife's death, and accept Florence's decision to leave St. Marie. When Jack video calls Siobhan, he was shocked when she told him that her boyfriend has been cheating on her, and decided to return to the UK to support her, but changed his mind, as he's still solving a current murder case. Jack was delighted when Commissioner Patterson arranged for Siobhan to come back to St Marie to see him. In the first episode of series 9, Jack starts a romantic relationship with Anna, but was unsure if he's ready to move on from his late wife. Anna asked him to travel the world with her, but was unsure if he wants to leave the island. Commissioner Patterson tells him that he never wanted to travel, as he always focus on his life.
