Death In Paradise fans uncover Don Gilet's forgotten role in show as he replaces Ralf Little


Actor Don Gilet is set to take over from Ralf Little in Death In Paradise, but fans were quick to point out that the actor has already previously appeared in the BBC show

Don Gilet, known for his chilling portrayal of Walford serial killer Lucas Johnson in EastEnders, first appeared on the BBC One show in 2015, where he played a villain during Kris Marshall's tenure as detective Humphrey Goodman. Another commented: "I like him but I guess this throws contingency out the window", while a third added: "he's already been in it as a killer of his boss at a rum distillery... Why must TV shows keep doing this I love Death in Paradise but now I can't watch because I just see him in the part he played in it." However, actors reprising different roles isn't unheard of; indeed, Don's predecessor Ralf had a guest spot on Death In Paradise six years before becoming DI Neville Parker.
