Who is the best Death in Paradise guest star? Vote now

As a film enthusiast with a soft spot for British comedy-dramas, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing Death in Paradise‘s impressive roster of guest stars over the years. Each character leaves an indelible mark on the show, and choosing a favorite is no easy task. But let me share my personal connection to some truly unforgettable performances.

With an impressive roster of guest stars spanning over 13 seasons, it’s quite a challenge to pick a favorite for BBC’s comedy-drama series “Death in Paradise.”

Well, to help you out, we’ve rounded up a list, especially for your consideration.

Which character do you prefer between Victoria Ekanoye’s portrayal of Miranda Priestley, who is not like the wicked editor from the film “The Devil Wears Prada,” and Chelsea Edge’s deceitful Sophie?

Perhaps you have a preference for humorous characters such as Freddie (Steve Edge) or Colin Babcock (Mathew Baynton). Some may require additional assistance, while others are newcomers who briefly become part of the group.

If you think someone gave an exceptional performance in the Caribbean crime show, please assist us in identifying and recognizing them as the ultimate cameo champion.
