BBC show announces unexpected cast changes and reveals release date for upcoming season.
The beloved drama series, Hope Street, is finally making its long-awaited comeback. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the new season, which is set to premiere on Friday, November 1 on BBC One. But for those who can't wait, the entire season will be available for streaming on BBC iPlayer starting Monday, October 28 at 7pm.

Set in the fictional seaside town of Port Devine in Northern Ireland, the show follows the lives of its residents and the local police department. The fourth season promises to be the most different yet, with significant changes in the cast, including the arrival of a new inspector, Eve Dunlop, played by Derry Girls star Tara Lynne O'Neill. Her tough, no-nonsense demeanor immediately sets her apart from the rest, causing quite a stir among the residents, especially Marlene Pettigrew.

The conflict between Marlene and Eve is further complicated by the fact that they have known each other since school. As Tara Lynne explains, "There is a lovely crossover between the personal and the professional – and there's stuff to play there. How do you manage your friend?" But despite their differences, the two must put them aside when the real reason for Eve's arrival comes to light.

Joining Eve as new faces in Port Devine are Brandi McClure, a feisty barmaid played by Katie Shortt, and the Dunlop family – Lois, the formidable mother of Eve, Chloe, her diplomatic step-daughter, and Ross, her troubled son. These new additions promise to bring a fresh energy to the show, with their own personal struggles and relationships.

But don't worry, fans, because there are still plenty of familiar faces returning for the fourth season. PC Callum McCarthy, who has always been at the center of the drama, will continue to play a significant role. His romance with Jo Lipton seemed to be going smoothly at the end of season three, but will there be trouble in paradise this year?

Actor Niall Wright, who plays Callum, teases, "There are a few things that make [their move to Belfast] a bit tricky." And as for his character, fans can expect to see a bit of his backstory and home life this season.

Meanwhile, Nicole Devine-Dunwoody's pregnancy continues to be a source of drama, as the question of who the father is still remains. Will it be Callum, with whom she had a one-night-stand last year, or her roguish husband Clint? Actress Niamh McGrady, who plays Nicole, says, "We've been on such a journey with Nicole's fertility issues, so it's bittersweet that there's so much complication involved when she finally gets her motherhood moment."

But it's not all about the drama, as the show also promises plenty of crimes and mysteries to be solved, including a kidnapping and a familiar face making a return. And as always, the show will have a perfect blend of the old and the new, keeping fans hooked and wanting more.

So mark your calendars and don't miss the exciting new chapter of Hope Street, starting November 1 on BBC One. And remember, if you have any soap or TV stories, videos, or pictures, be sure to email us - we'd love to hear from you!
