Death in Paradise star reflects on difficult scene with Ralf Little before exit

As a seasoned gamer of the intricate world of Death in Paradise, I must admit that Taj Atwal’s revelation about the scorching heat during her scenes with Ralf Little has added an entirely new layer to my viewing experience. It’s not every day you hear about actors burning their feet on sandy beaches while delivering emotional performances!


Actress Taj Atwal, known for her role in “Death in Paradise,” reminisced about a challenging scene she filmed alongside Ralf Little, who recently left the series. She disclosed that inclement weather made it hard to focus during their scene.

Earlier this year, I, a devoted fan, said goodbye to the radiant island of Saint Marie where DI Neville Parker once resided. Abandoning my travel dreams, I chose instead to place my hopes on a future shared with the captivating Florence, played by Joséphine Jobert.

Yet, the departure plotline for this detective didn’t run entirely smoothly. His former girlfriend, Zoe (Atwal), made a reappearance in Saint Marie, seeking reconciliation with him, as he had unwittingly engaged in flirting with her via comments on his blog without realizing it.

Looking back at my gaming sessions for that BBC series, I can’t help but remember the unexpected hurdles presented by the unpredictable weather. Filming a scene alongside my fellow player proved to be more complex than initially expected due to these meteorological difficulties.

The actor informed Radio Times that they had unintentionally scorched their feet by walking on the extremely hot sand at the beach.

In simpler terms, “As I work on this specific scene with Ralf, my thoughts were constantly occupied by, ‘I won’t manage to complete this scene, I feel like I should leave the beach, dive into the ocean, and cool off.'”

In spite of the high temperatures, Atwal expressed her fondness for spending time in Guadeloupe, even during a brief shooting schedule of less than a week.

The actress confessed that she wasn’t aware she would be involved in Little’s departure plot when she joined the series, and she also expressed her opinions about Zoe and Neville’s momentary reconciliation.

She indicated that she felt quite assured that she could follow him, and he reacted rather calmly given the situation, she commented.

I believe he did his best to soften the blow, but unfortunately, their brief time together wasn’t meant to last.

After the departure of Little from “Death in Paradise”, Don Gilet stepped into his role as the main character, taking over as Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson. The actor who was previously on “EastEnders” will first appear in a special extended Christmas episode.

Death in Paradise and airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
