Death in Paradise fans floored as 'favourite' star is in another crime series
Death in Paradise fans have been left floored after discovering that former detective, DI Jack Mooney, is also in another detective series, as they branded him their "favourite" Fans of Death in Paradise have just clocked that their "favourite" sleuth, Ardal O'Hanlon, stars in another detective drama. Ardal was the much-loved DI Jack Mooney on the hit BBC show before he departed Saint Marie to join his daughter in London. Since leaving, he's returned to our screens in the Death in Paradise spin-off, Return to Paradise, featuring the series' first female detective. Yet, it turns out Ardal has also been spotted in a different detective series, Sherlock & Daughter, playing Mr Halligan, the butler. On a Facebook fan page for Death in Paradise, one viewer posted: "I see Ardal O'Hanlon is in Sherlock & Daughter as Holmes' butler." This sparked reactions from other fans, with one saying: "I love Ardal O'Hanlon," and another declaring: "Jack was my favourite detective," reports the Express. A fellow fan agreed: "Mine too." Another excitedly commented: "OMG, I need to watch this now." Sherlock & Daughter's plot summary reveals: "Sherlock & Daughter follows Amelia, a young woman who travels to London seeking her father, Sherlock Holmes, after her mother's murder. "She joins forces with the renowned detective to crack a global conspiracy and uncover the truth behind her mother's killing and her own origins. "Initially, Sherlock doubts Amelia's story, suspecting deceit. The series delves into their complicated dynamic as they collaborate to solve the enigma." Ardal joined Death in Paradise in its sixth series, embodying DI Jack Mooney as a man grappling with his wife's recent passing. He saw his character through to the ninth season, ultimately deciding to leave the show as he came to terms with his loss and chose to return to London with his daughter. Discussing his departure with OK!, Ardal O'Hanlon said, "I suppose I didn't think I'd be doing anything for a fourth series. I really thought three series would be the max, you know." He elaborated on the challenges of the role: "Because it's quite a demanding show... It's a tough old show in terms of being away from home for so long and in terms of the conditions that you film in the heat and the humidity." Ardal also touched on the impact on his family life: "I think [Melanie - his wife] found it very tough because we've got three big grown-up kids living in the house and she's got a lot on her plate, so I think she was finding it tougher as the years went on. And I was missing them all hugely as well, so I think it made sense."

Robin Wright on Fighting for Equal Pay on ‘House of Cards': They Said, ‘We Can't Pay You the Same' as Kevin Spacey ‘Because You Didn't Win an Academy Award'
Robin Wright reflected on her time on 'House of Cards' at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival on Monday, saying she had to fight for equal pay on the series because she didn't have an Oscar. During a chat moderated by Variety's international features director Leo Barraclough, Wright recalled scoring a lead role on the 2013 show, which was Netflix's first big TV series. More from Variety 'Sherlock & Daughter' Team Talks Expanding the Universe After Season 1: 'Crime Is Blissfully International' 'Gangs of London' Producer Teases Show's Future, 'New Characters and New Surprises' After Shocking Season 3 Deaths: 'Expect the Unexpected' Former 'Teen Wolf' Stars on How Young Actors Can Survive a Media Storm: 'Be Comfortable With Saying No' 'When David Fincher introduced 'House of Cards' to me, he said: 'This is going to be the future, it's going to be revolutionary,'' Wright recalled. 'And look where we are now.' However, she said she had to fight for equal pay on the hit show, which she co-led with Kevin Spacey. 'Yes, it was difficult. I am going to be honest,' she said. 'When I said, 'I think it's only fair because my character became as popular as [Spacey's], they said: 'We can't pay you the same as an actor, so we will make you exec producer and you can direct. We will give you three different paychecks.' I asked, 'Why can't you pay me as an actor?' 'Because you didn't win an Academy Award.'' But being angry 'wasn't going to change anything,' Wright said. 'That has been the protocol for years — it just is. If you say, 'Why did so-and-so female not get the same amount as Will Smith?' They say, 'It will increase after you win.' Nomination, not so much,' she continued. 'Why does it have to do anything with a raise?' She also talked about that controversial ending: 'That was my idea, so… Sorry. Initially, I said: 'Let him kill her.'' However, Wright said getting to direct the show was a 'gift.' 'It was the camera operator on 'House of Cards' who said, 'Why don't you just try?'' she recalled. 'I learned so much on that show. I didn't feel any pressure. I was encouraged to do it.' She also previewed her upcoming series, Amazon MGM Studios' psychological thriller 'The Girlfriend.' 'We all collaborated together to build this tension between two women who fight for this young man,' she said. Adapted from the novel by Michelle Frances – and featuring Olivia Cooke ('House of the Dragon'), Laurie Davidson ('Mary and George') and Waleed Zuaiter ('Gangs of London') – it will see Wright as Laura, who has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband and her precious only son, Daniel (Davidson). But Laura's seemingly perfect life is blown apart when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), the girlfriend who changes everything. Wright is exec-producing, directing and starring in the six-episode limited series, set to premiere in the fall. Wright will receive the Crystal Nymph Award at Monte-Carlo TV fest in recognition of her exceptional career and her enduring influence on the audiovisual industry. She first started out in TV – in the soap opera 'Santa Barbara' – before moving into film. Wright is also engaged in activism, advocating for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo and launching the charitable female sleepwear line Pour Les Femmes. She noted: 'I did it because I couldn't get any traction in Washington DC for the women of Congo. I really wanted to go to electronic companies and say: 'Can you wake up?' If you charge one dollar more for your iPhone, that dollar can go for protecting them. A lot of these women that I've met in hospitals are now doctors and lawyers.' 'Was there any pushback from DC? Yes. Congress people, they promise: 'We will get to it.' They just want to take a selfie with you.' Wright was joined on stage by Rola Bauer, executive producer for Amazon MGM Studios, who shared her philosophy when it comes to new shows: 'If you don't entertain people, they are not going to come. If it's possible, and if we can, enlighten [with these shows]. Give something back.' Later, Wright also talked about her film career including iconic titles like 'Princess Bride' and 'Forrest Gump.' 'People still ask me about these films. Only about these films.' She still has a soft spot for underseen Rebecca Miller's 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee' – 'I wish she would work more' – but already-announced project 'Kissinger Takes Paris' with Tim Roth cast as Henry Kissinger might not see the light of the day. 'I don't think this is happening. It has been radio-silent for almost a year.' As for her biggest achievements, Wright answered: 'My children are still alive. As for my career… There's this window in your late 30s and early 40s, and there were no roles. It was dry. That's when 'House of Cards' came up. It helped me plateau for a while. I don't know if I would be able to get parts in films at the time.'

Has Sherlock & Daughter Season 2 Been Canceled or Renewed?
Wondering whether The CW has renewed or canceled Sherlock & Daughter Season 2? Based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, the mystery series follows Sherlock Holmes as he becomes embroiled in a sinister conspiracy orchestrated by his nemesis, Professor Moriarty. He then teams up with Amelia, a young woman, to solve the case. With the series having concluded, many are eager to know if another outing could be expected. So, here are the details. The CW has neither renewed nor canceled Sherlock & Daughter Season 2. Generally, streaming services evaluate multiple factors before deciding to move forward with another season. These factors include financial viability, viewership, audience reception, rights, and others. If the series manages to tick most of these expectations, then a renewal is likely. However, in Sherlock & Daughter's case, it is too early to determine its future, given that it is a brand-new release. The network is expected to wait until the full season has aired and assess its overall performance before deciding on renewal. New shows, anyhow, face certain challenges in receiving another installment. The series has received a 75% Rotten Tomatoes rating and has garnered decent viewership. As a result, its future remains uncertain for now. There are also 50-50 chances of its cancellation, given that The CW has been focusing on more expensive projects at the moment. Nevertheless, the audience will have to wait for an official confirmation. The current installment concluded with Episode 8 titled 'The Last Dance.' The episode witnessed Amelia and Sherlock exposing the Red Thread syndicate and later confronting their perilous enemies at the most anticipated debutante ball. The main cast includes David Thewlis as Sherlock Holmes, Blu Hunt as Amelia Rojas, Ardal O'Hanlon as Mr. Halligan, Fiona Glascott as Lady Violet Somerset, Aidan McArdle as Chief Inspector Whitlock, and others.
