The Good Ship Murder gears up for Season 2 with new cast members after Beverley actress Claire Sweeney departs due to scheduling conflicts
Manchester: The Good Ship Murder has been a real crowd-pleaser since it kicked off in 2023. Fans are buzzing for Season 2, but there’s a big change in the lineup.
Claire Sweeney, who played the fun cruise director Beverley, won’t be back. She’s got her hands full with Coronation Street, so they’ve brought in Ross Adams from Hollyoaks to fill her shoes.
Shayne Ward and Catherine Tyldesley, who are still on the show, totally get why Claire had to leave. They’re hoping she might come back someday. Shayne said it was a bummer to lose her but understands how busy she is with her other role.
He mentioned, “We know when you’re involved in such big storylines, you’re going to be committed to that.” They really miss her character on the show.
Claire’s exit was all about timing, but the cast is excited about Ross joining. Shayne praised him, saying he brings a whole new vibe to the show. It’ll be interesting to see how his character interacts with the others.
Catherine chimed in, saying Ross is hilarious and brings a lot of energy. She’s really looking forward to his scenes. The show follows Jack and Kate as they solve mysteries on a Mediterranean cruise, and it’s set to premiere on January 10th on Channel 5.
So, mark your calendars! The new season promises to be just as thrilling, with a fresh twist thanks to the new cast member.
