CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM DEATH IN PARADISE._ When Dwayne Myers (Danny John-Jules) left Saint Marie to travel the world, the Honoré Police force needed a new member. This was how Ruby was

introduced as she is the uncle of Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington). Despite some reservations, Ruby was welcomed onto the force in season eight and has been a valued member of

the team ever since. However, last week, the BBC revealed it was now time for Ruby as well as another character to say goodbye. READ MORE: Death In Paradise star Shyko Amos breaks silence on

show exit As well as actress Amos, Aude Legastelois-Bidé who portrays DS Madeleine Dumas will also be making her exit in season 10. In a statement, the BBC said: "After two series

bringing law, order, and joy to the streets of Saint Marie, we’re sad to say goodbye to Ruby Patterson who made such a massive impact in such a short time! "DS Madeleine Dumas will also

be departing Saint Marie’s sunny shores and we would like to thank Shyko Amos and Aude Legastelois-Bidé for bringing Ruby and Madeleine to life and wish them all the very best for the

future." So there are going to be two job roles to fill in the upcoming season of Death in Paradise. In a statement about series 10, the BBC said: "We are excited to welcome a

brand-new face to the team, in the shape of Tahj Miles. "His character, 18-year-old petty criminal Marlon Pryce, is a ball of energy and thinks he knows it all. "But when he runs

into JP [Hooper], his life takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself looking at a very different future to the one he expected." The statement then adds: "The arrival of twins

is the least of JP’s challenges as he finds Marlon – and some shocking developments at work – testing him to his limits." So will JP take Marlon under his wing and get him a job as an

officer to steer him onto the straight and narrow?
