Beyond Paradise star Sally Bretton has opened up about how Martha and Humphrey are coping after emotional exit in the BBC series
Beyond Paradise star Sally Bretton has spoken candidly about her co-star’s departure from the previous series of the Death in Paradise spin-off.
During the last series of Beyond Paradise, it appeared that Martha (Sally) and Humphrey (portrayed by Kris Marshall) were on the verge of their happy ending after fostering a young girl called Rosie.
However, the pair, who have yet to tie the knot, were forced to say an emotional farewell to Rosie when she went back to live with her mother.
It proved to be a poignant moment for both the couple and the audience as the series drew to a close. It remains to be seen where their story will continue in the Christmas special, scheduled to broadcast on December 21st.
In a recent interview, Sally discussed Rosie’s departure and how Martha and Humphrey are managing without her. She explained, “It was hard for them when Rosie left. However, their relationship is important and brings them so much joy. I think they have decided to focus on themselves and their lives instead of the hole Rosie left behind,” reports the Express.

When questioned about why audiences are so invested in Martha and Humphrey’s relationship, the actress revealed, “I think because it’s a real love match.
“They are both kind-hearted by nature, and they genuinely want the best for each other. As a couple, they enjoy each other’s company and have so much fun.”
She continued, “It’s been a hard road for them, and they’re finally in a happy spot. I can’t wait for viewers to see their relationship develop in the next series.”
Discussing the dynamic between the pair, Kris Marshall remarked: “Because it’s fun, honest, and truthful. The audience has seen them grow from the time they met to how they are now.
“Initially, you think they’re a bit of an odd couple, but you realise they’re perfect for each other. They’re great fun – and they have a duck! That’s really the cherry on the cake.”

“But with an influx of unexpected visitors, a slew of holiday crimes to crack, and a heartwarming reunion on the line, can the team juggle it all and still be ready for a life-changing reveal?”
