Eddie is described as a charismatic and streetwise former cop, bringing a unique dynamic to the sleuthing duo.

In the upcoming season, Jack will continue his crime-solving adventures aboard the luxury cruise ship, navigating personal and professional challenges against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean.
"I'm thrilled to see how Peter and Fiona's brilliant performances will rock the boat and delight fans," Barnett added.
A New Direction
While Catherine Tyldesley's character, First Officer Kate Woods, will be stepping back as a series regular, her departure is expected to have a significant impact on the show's narrative.
