Port Devine is buzzing with excitement as the highly anticipated fourth series of Hope Street finally arrives. This time around, viewers can expect some major changes as the show welcomes a brand new cast. The popular BBC series, which takes place in a fictional Northern Irish seaside town, first hit our screens three years ago and has since captivated audiences with its gripping storylines.
The first series introduced us to Detective Constable Leila Hussain, while the second focused on the enigmatic detective Al Quinn, who turned out to be not as nice as he seemed. The third series, which was hailed by Metro as the best one yet, left fans on the edge of their seats with a nail-biting cliffhanger. Needless to say, viewers have been eagerly awaiting the return of their beloved show.
But this time around, things are going to be a little different. With a major cast shake-up, series four promises to be the most unique and exciting one yet. So, let's catch up with what's been happening in Port Devine and get ready for the new season.
Unlike previous years, BBC Daytime audiences won't have to wait long to catch the new series, as it will be hitting our screens on Friday, November 1st at 2pm. However, if you can't wait that long, you can catch the entire series on iPlayer from 7pm on Monday. That's right, you can binge-watch all the drama and suspense in one go!
The fourth series of Hope Street is unlike any other, with a fresh new cast joining the show. Actress Kerri Quinn, who plays Sergeant Marlene Pettigrew, describes it as a "reboot" of the series. And she's not wrong. The show has said goodbye to some of its beloved characters and welcomed new ones, making it an exciting and unpredictable season.
So, who's left Hope Street in series four? Well, series star Ciarán McMenamin, who played Inspector Finn O'Hare, has departed from the show. We last saw Finn in a heated showdown with Aidan Hunter, who threatened the life of his grandson, Shea. As for Finn's fate, we'll just have to wait and see in the series premiere.
Speaking of Shea, actor Louis McCartney, known for his role in Stranger Things: The First Shadow, is also no longer part of the cast. And neither is Ellie Lavery, who played Niamh O'Hare. However, Rachel Tucker will be making appearances as Siobhan O'Hare throughout the series.
Now, let's get to know the new faces joining the show. First up, we have Kerri Quinn, who portrays Sergeant Marlene Pettigrew. Kerri, who has previously appeared in Derry Girls and Three Families, is best known for her role as Vicky Jeffries in Coronation Street. Marlene is a tough and no-nonsense police officer who always gets the job done. Over the past three seasons, she has been on quite a journey, coming out and starting a relationship with Ash. However, things didn't go as planned, and their relationship ended on their wedding day. This season, Marlene's world is turned upside down with the arrival of Eve, but the two will have to put their differences aside to solve a mystery from their past.
Next, we have Niall Wright, who plays PC Callum McCarthy. Niall, a Belfast-born actor, has been a fan favorite since the very first episode of Hope Street. His character has gone through a lot in the past three seasons, and the third one was particularly significant for him. Callum had a one-night stand with Nicole and later started a relationship with Jo Lipton. However, with Nicole pregnant, potentially with his child, things might get complicated for Callum in the new series.
Former Derry Girls star Tara Lynne O'Neill makes her Hope Street debut as new Inspector Eve Dunlop. Tara, who portrayed Joanne Ryan in EastEnders, has also appeared in The Informant and Disco Pigs. However, her most notable role to date is that of Mary Quinn in Channel 4's Derry Girls. Eve's arrival in Port Devine causes quite a stir at the police station, and her past with Marlene adds an interesting dynamic to their relationship. But when a mysterious case involving their childhood friend Shelley arises, the two must work together to solve it.
Des McAleer, a Belfast-born actor, returns as taxi driver Barry Pettigrew, Marlene's uncle. Barry has been a pillar of support for Marlene since she was a child, and his advice is always sought after in Port Devine. But where will series four find Barry? We'll have to wait and see.
Lastly, we have Niamh McGrady and Aaron McCusker, who play Nicole and Clint Devine-Dunwoody. Nicole's one-night stand with Callum in the previous season has resulted in a pregnancy, and things between her and Clint will certainly be interesting to watch.
So, get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions and thrilling storylines as series four of Hope Street kicks off. You won't want to miss a single episode, so mark your calendars for Monday, October 28th at 7pm for the Northern Ireland debut and Friday, November 1st at 2pm for the BBC Daytime premiere. And if you can't wait, catch the whole series on iPlayer from 7pm on Monday. Happy watching!
