Tahj Miles has officially departed Death in Paradise<\/a> after his character, Officer Marlon Pryce<\/a>, left Saint Marie for Jamaica in tonight\u2019s episode (Sunday 3rd March).<\/span><\/p>\n

Marlon\u2019s sister Jocelyn had been offered a scholarship at a prestigious school in Kingston, and with their mother unable to leave due to her own \u201cresponsibilities\u201d, Marlon would be the one to accompany her, which meant giving up the job he had come to love \u2013 and excel at.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly think we wouldn\u2019t have cracked the case without him,\u201d said Neville of his now former colleague, who played a key role in solving the murder of Ray Saunders.<\/p>\n

But thankfully, after some uncertainty about whether he\u2019d be donning a police uniform in Jamaica, the commissioner managed to pull some strings \u2013 with some help from Tobi Bakare\u2019s<\/span> JP Hooper, who appeared briefly towards the end of the episode.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bakare appeared in 52 episodes of Death in Paradise before leaving unexpectedly in season 10.<\/p>\n

His character, who was instrumental in helping Marlon to turn his back on a life of crime to become a police officer, accepted a shiny new job offer, head of the Police Training Programme \u2013 which continues to be a success, by all accounts, and also played a part in getting Marlon set up in Jamaica.<\/p>\n

We also learned that JP is still with his partner, Rosie, and the couple are parents to twins.<\/p>\n
