DEATH in Paradise’s Tahj Miles has revealed all about his character’s ‘clash’ with Danny John-Jules as he made his long awaited return to the show.
The hit BBC crime drama aired its first ever Christmas Special on Boxing Day, and saw Danny reprise his role as Dwayne Myers for the first time since 2018.
Since his departure, Tahj has joined the cast as Marlon Pryce, a former petty criminal who is now training to be a police officer on Saint-Marie.
However, as soon as Dwayne laid eyes on him, he realised he had arrested him before.
Speaking about their tense first meeting, Tahj said: “It is a really interesting relationship.
“It is two people who you’d think would get along as soon as they meet each other, but you do see how different they really are.
“They might be similar people, but their approach to working as a police officer… Dwayne has been doing it for years and Marlon is still a rookie in the job.
“They don’t have the same approach and their personalities may match up but their approaches do tend to clash.”
Speaking about how Marlon is developing and what fans can expect from series 11, he added during a Radio Times Facebook Live Q&A: “I think Marlon is at a place in his life where he has a bit of stability.
“He has a group around him who are going to set him down the right path and I think he is happy with that.
“And as much as he is a bit cautious of hanging around the other side, this is the right thing to be doing.
“Will he be swayed back to the other side? I don’t think so. He is much smarter than that.”
Death in Paradise is available on BBC iPlayer.
