All treasured regulars are returning; Sally Lindsay stars as Jean White, Steve Edge as Dom Hayes, co-writer Sue Vincent stars as glorious Gloria Beaushaw, Robin Askwith and Sue Holderness return as the delectable Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James along with Alex Gaumond as Chief of Police André Caron.

As Jean and Dom plan their wedding, nothing can prepare them for the unseen obstacles that crop up along the way.

Over the course of the series, a dead body in one of the shows iconic locations, Uncle Patrick hosts the pub quiz of the century at La Couronne, Judith and Jeremy face a heart‑wrenching dilemma, and the bodies continue to stack up when someone is found foaming at the mouth in St Victoire Theatre. We witness the full, fabulous wrath of John Marsden, and hold our breath to see whether Jean and Dom will finally make it down the aisle.
