Death in Paradise star 'wasn't ready' as she addresses heartbreaking exit
Sally Bretton has portrayed Humphrey Goodman's fiancée, Martha Lloyd, since 2017 Sally Bretton, famed for her stint as Martha Lloyd on the much-loved BBC series Death in Paradise and its spin-off Beyond Paradise, has admitted she wasn't quite ready to leave the sun-soaked detective drama behind in 2017. Taking on the role of the beloved detective Humphrey Goodman's fiancée (portrayed by Kris Marshall), Sally made her debut as Martha in 2017. Swiftly winning over audiences as she reignited a past romance with Humphrey, ultimately leading to his departure from Saint Marie for London, Sally made her debut as Martha in 2017. During an interview on This Morning, Sally openly expressed her willingness to have prolonged her time on the show. Addressing whether she was happy to wrap up filming in the Caribbean, Sally firmly replied: "No!" She elaborated, "I was only out there for four or five weeks. I didn't get any of the hurricanes; I got it at just the perfect time. I had an amazing time." As for what lies ahead for Martha in the spin-off Beyond Paradise, Sally gave viewers a glimpse into Martha and Humphrey's new life in Shipton Abbott, Devon, where they embark on fostering after their poignant IVF endeavours, reports the Express. Eagerly seizing the chance to step back into Martha's shoes for the BBC One spin-off, Sally recounted how the opportunity came up during a chat with This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. "I was part of Kris' exit storyline from the Caribbean, and then we were in the first lockdown, and the phone rang," she told the duo. "I was like, 'Oh my God!'. Even if it doesn't happen, it was just three weeks of thinking about that while the world had stopped. It was to have something to sink my teeth into." The show also stars Open All Hours legend Barbara Flynn as Martha's mother, Anne, with Zahra Ahmadi featuring as Humphrey's workmate at Shipton Abbott's police force, the steadfast DS Esther Williams. Dylan Llewellyn and Felicity Montagu, Humphrey's fellow officers and mates, complete the ensemble. The third series of Beyond Paradise, which concluded earlier this year, saw Humphrey and Martha seemingly finding steadier ground as they progress with their fostering endeavours. However, the final episode ended in heartbreak as the had to say goodbye to their foster child, Rosie.
