As ‘Miss Scarlet’ Returns, Catch Up With 9 Alums, Including Stuart Martin
Miss Scarlet is back for Season 5; the Duke is not. Since Stuart Martin has left the Masterpiece series formerly titled Miss Scarlet and the Duke, Kate Phillips’ Eliza Scarlet is now taking on Victorian criminals without her friend at Scotland Yard.
In his absence, however, comes Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard), a new detective inspector who’s not big on private investigators like Eliza.
Actors who are returning from previous seasons, however, include Evan McCabe as Detective Fitzroy, Cathy Belton as Ivy, Felix Scott as Patrick Nash, Paul Bazely as Clarence, Simon Ludders as Mr. Potts, and Tim Chipping as Detective Phelps.
Before Miss Scarlet’s fifth season premiere on Sunday, January 12 at 8/7c on PBS, see where other alums from the show have ended up.

All the interesting characters are gone. Season 5 was a snoozer

C
I loved the duke and Moses the interactions I liked the duke with scarlet. I don't think I'll be watching. I also liked scarlet and her father appearing to her
-
G
Loved Moses, Rupert, Hattie, Clementine and Solomon … all these characters added a richness to the story line that has been lost with their removal. And losing the Duke? Heartbreaking.
-
B
It appears something is not right with casting management when the richest personalities leave the program poor.

They are quick to get rid of really good and very intersting people - I don't like it when you can't wrap your head around anyone. What's the reason for Moses and Solomon? There were clues since season 2 that Duke's days were numbered. This upcoming season better be stellar or they are going to lose more people - the audience.

I WANT MOSES BACK! He was such a sexy, mysterious character. I used to practice saying "Moses" like he did. I'm so sorry I can't look forward to him turning up in episodes from time to time from behind doors, dark shadows....*sigh*
-
B
The chemistry is not as thrilling or fun. Will give it a couple more views before deciding to remove from my watch list.

G
I like all of the characters..especially the Duke..but there is something I also like about Liza with this new detective. It will be interesting to see how that relationship blooms and if the Duke tries to come back for her just one more time
-
O
I really miss the DUKE!!!❣️😭
-
R
Not as interesting since Stuart Martin left. Tom Prichard doesn't cut it as a potential love interest. Glad Ansu Kabia coming back - loved his character and his way of pronouncing words.
-
O
I liked the Moses character, wish he had stayed around. Some of these people, I never really cared about (or even remembered) the character(s), so I can't say I miss them
-
O
I have to watch. There is chemistry between Lizzie and the new Detective Inspector.

P.S. I agree with the person who posted that season 5 was a sleeper. If season 6 is as dull I will quit watching. They need to do something about Kate Phillips hair in particular. Current hair color white - washes her....Add some color and different hair style ? In real life Kate Phillips is an attractive woman. Victorian times or not Kate Phillips needs to have her person " spruced up ".
