WATCH: Death in Paradise says goodbye to Shyko Amos
Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "This show's missing something, and it's Ruby. I love her character development, her sense of humour and
she's grown so much as a character #DeathinParadise needs her."
Another fan added: "Great to have #deathinparadise back for some escapism. Sad at Ruby's absence though, hopefully she'll turn up later in the series!" A third person tweeted:
"So pleased that #DeathInParadise is back, it wouldn’t be January without it! They need to change the theme tune back & also bring Ruby back though!"
The BBC confirmed the actress' exit back in September in a statement which read: "After two series bringing law, order, and joy to the streets of Saint Marie, we’re sad to say goodbye to Ruby Patterson who made such a massive impact in such a short time!
