Beyond Paradise fans predict 'exit' of main character as Martha's old flame returns

Beyond Paradise: Martha and Humphrey decide not to get married

Beyond Paradise fans have shared their thoughts about Martha Lloyd (played by Sally Bretton) and whether she is the right match for Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall). At the end of series two, Martha and Humphrey decided to call off their wedding, throwing their relationship into doubt.

It is unclear how series three of the BBC drama will pick up, but filming is well underway with the cast being spotted filming in various locations of Cornwall.

It was also revealed that Martha's ex, Archie (Jamie Bamber) would return for the upcoming series - but could he end up causing trouble for the couple by trying to kiss the cafe owner again?

The third series will feature Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman, Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd, Zahra Ahmadi as DS Esther Williams, Dylan Llewellyn as PC Kelby Hartford, Barbara Flynn as Anne Lloyd, Felicity Montagu as Margo Martins, Jade Harrison as CS Charlie Woods, and Melina Sinadinou as Zoe Williams.

However, hardcore fans have taken to a Facebook fan page dedicated to the show to share their thoughts on the characters. One shared a lengthy post about cafe owner Martha.

It read: "I don't understand Martha. First, she decides she is not going to do any more fertility treatments (I know they are expensive and can affect your emotions but she should discuss it with Humphrey before standing him up at the clinic), then she decides the wedding her mother planned for her and Humphrey isn't what she wanted. AND she waits until her wedding day to tell her mother this. I have watched this series more than once but it gets my hackles up every time I see that last episode." (sic)

The post certainly sparked a strong reaction from other fans, with one commenting: "I wish they'd put Humphrey with someone else."

"He deserves better," someone else stated while a third added: "Yeah, I agree, Humphrey deserves someone a lot better. It has always been about Martha and what Martha wants."

Another suggested: "Well, with the wedding called off and Archie coming back, maybe they will leave together."

"The cancellation of the wedding was ridiculous," one wrote while another threw a wild theory into the mix about Humphrey leaving. "Not too keen on Martha, he wants to drop her and go back to Saint Marie."

The synopsis for the upcoming series reads: "Set in the picturesque locations of Devon and Cornwall, there are plenty of cases to keep the team busy, including a body found in the river on the county border, a perplexing chocolate box poisoning, a historic farming feud, and a spiking incident on the water.

"Away from the police station, Martha and Humphrey face unexpected challenges as foster parents, while the reappearance of Martha's old flame Archie presents an unforeseen challenge.

"While Esther finds herself dealing with an unexpected twist in her personal life, a health scare throws Anne into turmoil, dredging up old wounds. Meanwhile, Kelby sets off on an enlightening personal quest."

Tim Key, Executive Producer at Red Planet Pictures, shared his delight about the upcoming series, saying: "We are delighted to be back in the beautiful South West, filming what promises to be our strongest series yet, packed full of mysteries, surprises, challenges and lots of heart.

"We love making the show and the audience response to it is fantastic, and it's especially exciting to welcome back Jamie Bamber to Shipton Abbott we can't wait for everyone to see what we've been up to."

Beyond Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
