There was already some speculation that police officer Darlene Curtis might be on her way out after she only appeared briefly in last year's Christmas special – and via phone screen – as she was said to be caring for her aunt. And in the season 15 premiere, we're told that she will not be back for the "foreseeable".
Speaking about saying goodbye to their co-star at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Shaquille Ali-Yebuah (Officer Sebastian Rose) admitted that her exit was a "surprise", adding: "We miss her. I actually did my first audition with her, and that was my partner in crime in my first season. She's going to be missed."
