Beyond Paradise stars praise ‘gracious’ Kris Marshall in sweet tribute

Beyond Paradise has been airing on BBC One and viewers have seen Humphrey Goodman (played by Kris Marshall) face many trials and tribulations. Besides an ongoing fertility struggle with Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton), he has been working tirelessly in his new role at the local police station. Stars Felicity Montagu and Dylan Llewellyn spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk and other press about the Humphrey star.

Humphrey and Martha have been through a lot as Martha made the tough decision to stop IVF treatment.

The detective was desperate to be a father, but in his usual selfless way, he put Martha’s feelings first.

Despite everything going on at home, it has not deterred him from his police work and he has cracked some bizarre cases.

Actor Marshall has reprised his role from the original Death in Paradise series and newcomers Montagu and Llewellyn said they learned a lot from him.

“These police lines are hard, you have got to get the police format out.

“And I think his sheer discipline and good nature and graciousness on set is a great lesson and he’s a bit of a mentor really.”

The Kelby Hartford actor was in agreement, saying he wished he got to work with him more.

He added: “Absolutely, I think he’s set a great example for all of us.

The first season is made up of six episodes, with this week’s being the penultimate instalment.

Meanwhile, Martha has a lot to think about after her ex Archie Hughes (Jamie Bamber) tried to kiss her.

Bamber claimed Archie was a better fit for Martha, joking: “She’d have a much better life with Archie.

“He’s a man of means, he’s infatuated by her. I’m a bit partisan here, but yeah, I don’t see what she sees in him [Humphrey].”

Beyond Paradise airs on Fridays on BBC One at 8pm.
