Alongside the main cast of Beyond Paradise, a new raft of guest stars are drafted in each week, with the drama’s debut episode including former EastEnders star Davood Ghadami and two actors from Netflix’s Sex Education, among others.
And there are some more familiar faces in tonight’s episode (3rd March), one being Archie Hughes, a figure from Martha’s past. She’s focused on getting her café up and running but is “thrown” by his arrival.
Will he be sticking around for the remainder of the season? And what are his true intentions?
Archie is played by Jamie Bamber, who many viewers will recognise from a number of other popular shows.

Most recently, Bamber appeared in ITV crime drama DI Ray starring Parminder Nagra, which is returning for a second season. He played the detective’s husband DCI Martyn Hunter, who wasn’t who he claimed to be.
