The programme's fanbase is keen to understand if Don will be making a comeback after season 14 wrapped up on a cliffhanger surrounding his alter-ego, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson.
Don, who had played Selwyn since 2011, finally decided to step down from the police force, and it looked as though his character was leaving for good.

In the series 14 finale, Selwyn Patterson was offered his job back after initially being replaced. Fans were shocked when Selwyn rejected the proposal and expressed his desire to take some time to visit his daughter, Andrina.
In the final scenes, he offered his goodbyes to Catherine Bordey. He told her, "Promise me you will look after yourself and them," he added, gesturing to his ex-colleagues.

Jeremy Clarkson's pub staff walk out after 'too many problems'
Jeremy Clarkson's pub staff walk out after 'too many problems' "We've lost two waitresses. We lost a pot washer. After one day" Jeremy suffers staffing issues in his pub in the latest series of Clarkson's Farm (Image: Prime Video ) Prime Video viewers have been getting an insight into the opening of Jeremy Clarkson's pub and it revealed staff walked out at the time of its launch. The season four finale of Clarkson's Farm on Prime Video exposed all the challenges during The Farmer's Dog's tumultuous opening over the August bank holiday of 2024. Jeremy found himself addressing the trouble in a candid conversation with farm manager Charlie Ireland. After speaking highly of his staff in earlier episodes, describing them as friendly and ever-smiling, he reluctantly revealed: "We've lost two waitresses. We lost a pot washer. After one day." To add further insult to injury, pressure mounted during a distressing meeting with senior team members Sue and Rachel at the pub, where they highlighted big problems, reports the Express. They told Jeremy: "Everyone is exhausted, even when we say go for a break, there is no staff room." Jeremy Clarkson did not like what he heard in a sit down with staff members Sue and Rachel (Image: Prime Video ) "They're weeing in a portaloo. It's not lovely conditions. They love you. They're excited about the British food," they tried to reassure Jeremy. Article continues below Jeremy stating firmly: "I have no problem with the staff," before adding, "Not one single problem with the staff. They're all brilliant. They are smiling. They are nice." However, Sue and Rachel indicated that further attention might be needed in the kitchen, which was on the cusp of crisis. "The kitchen is about to go pop, those chefs have had it.... It might be worth popping into the kitchen," they suggested. "I just popped in," he said, only to be met with the response: "Go back." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Jeremy, who was worn out from working non-stop on the farm while also preparing the pub for its opening, was deeply offended by this suggestion and retorted: "Do you want me to go and find a manager? Or go back into the kitchen?" "Or do you want me to mend the leak? Or do you want me to deal with the car parking issues? Or do you want me to deal with the neighbours? Do you want me to deal with the council? I've got plenty to be doing and I'll get on with it. Thank you." This outburst was the last straw for the pair, who shortly after quit. Undefeated Jeremy said: "We've worked out if we shut the lavatories and use plastic glasses instead of glass ones, we'll have enough water to serve food until six. "The next problem is Sue and Rachel, who brilliantly set up the pub, have now left. So it's a Sunday morning, I've managed to get a new front of house person who is the head of sixth form at the local village school. That's good." Article continues below

Billie Piper let slip HUGE hint about her Doctor Who return weeks before it hit screens - amid claims she and David Tennant could reunite after that huge finale reveal
Billie Piper let slip a huge hint about her Doctor Who return weeks before it hit screens as she spoke in the Doctor Who: Unleashed special this weekend. On Saturday BBC Three aired a Doctor Who documentary celebrating 20 years since it was revived, with ex-cast members including David Tennant and Billie reminiscing on the series. The special was recorded before it was revealed that she will make a surprise return to the show after Ncuti Gatwa 's shock exit. The 42-year-old actress will be replacing the high-profile actor after he bowed out of the BBC drama in last week's finale. The announcement put an end to speculation that he would not return as the Doctor. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Billie let slip what was to come in the special when she was asked whether she would ever return to the series. She said during an interview: 'Yeah I would… I would come back. What's funny is that I never feel like I've left Doctor Who, because there is this huge Doctor Who afterlife, which is, you know… 'Obviously people still really want to talk about it, it's a massive fandom, so we do conventions and we meet lots of the fans, and there's always features. 'And it's always on the TV on some channel, and a new generation pick it up, so it never feels like it's over, like it does with all the other jobs I've done.' She then accidentally added: 'So coming back is really good fun, but I also… And so I would do it, but I still feel like I'm in it. Just a lot older.' It comes amid claims Billie is set to reunite with her co-star David Tennant as she makes a surprise return to the show. Billie first starred as the companion to the ninth Doctor in 2005, playing Rose Tyler alongside Christopher Eccleston's Time Lord. She will now be the second woman to take on the role as the Time Lord after Jodie Whittaker portrayed the 13th doctor. Billie let slip what was to come in the special when she was asked whether she would ever return to the series It was confirmed last Saturday when he surprisingly regenerated into at the end of the series finale. And a source has since told told The Sun of her potential reunion with David: 'David and Billie were a hugely popular partnership and he brought in the golden age of Doctor Who. 'With the anniversary of the reboot this year there have been some ideas floated about with the idea of maybe bringing David and Billie back together for one last hurrah.' Ncuti appeared to blame the physical and mental demands of the show for his exit in a new video following fan speculation he was axed from the show. Ncuti explained: 'It's a role that demands a lot of you physically and emotionally and mentally. The actors playing the Doctor are only actors playing the Doctor. Unfortunately, we are mere mortals. 'This journey has been one that I will never forget, and a role that will be part of me forever. There are no words to describe what it feels like to be cast as the Doctor, nor are there words to explain what it feels like to be accepted into this iconic role that has existed for over 60 years and is truly loved by so many across the globe.' The BBC previously denied claims that Ncuti had been axed from his role just days ahead of the finale. Ncuti appeared to blame the physical and mental demands of the show for his exit in a new video following fan speculation he was axed from the show 'Whilst we never comment on the future of the Doctor, any suggestion that Ncuti Gatwa has been 'axed' is pure fiction,' a spokesperson for the BBC said. The finale also saw Jodie Whittaker, the 13th doctor, make a guest appearance as Ncuti's Doctor appeared to be travelling through alternate universes. Doctor Who was watched by around 2.5million last Saturday - around 2million fewer people than the numbers watching when Jodie Whittaker, the previous Time Lord, was on the show until 2022. But this is still a tiny fraction of the sort of interest it used to attract. At its peak it was watched by around 13million on a Saturday night in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Welsh seaside town with cobbled streets and an ancient pub features in Death Valley
Welsh seaside town with cobbled streets and an ancient pub features in Death Valley Viewers of the show may have spotted this Vale of Glamorgan seaside town within the first few seconds of Death Valley's recent episode when a car drove through its streets as it headed to the church for a wedding Llantwit Major became the fictional town of Cwmishel in the latest episode of BBC's Death Valley (Image: BBC ) Llantwit Major has been transformed into the fictional town of Cwmishel for the third episode of Death Valley. Viewers of the show may have spotted the Vale of Glamorgan seaside town within the first few seconds of the latest episode as a car drove through its streets as it headed to the church for a wedding. In this week's episode, which aired on BBC One on Sunday, June 8, Janie (played by Gwyneth Keyworth) was tasked with solving the murder of best man Gethin Bennion the night before the wedding. Gethin's body was found in the graveyard of the church, which some may have spotted as the grounds of St Illtud's Church. And a bit later fans got to see inside the beautiful church. Some may say it is this church that put Llantwit Major on the map. Around the fifth century St Illtud established the oldest seat of Christian learning in Britain. Now the place is a charming little town with its cobbled streets, quaint shops, and eateries and is only a stone's throw away from the seaside. Article continues below Known in Welsh as Llanilltud Fawr this town is about a 40-minute drive from the Welsh capital and about a 25-minute drive from Barry. Its nearby Cwm Colhuw Beach (or Llantwit Major Beach) is the perfect place to go surfing or for a coastal walk. For a decent walk in the area start your journey at the beach car park before embarking on the path that offers spectacular views of the Bristol Channel, 12th-century castle, limestone crags, cliffs and caves hollowed out by the sea, before reaching the Nash Point Lighthouse.

This walk, which is great to spot fossils, is also a circular walk and can take you back to Cwm Colhuw Beach. And after that walk you might be fancying a sit-down meal and there are plenty of options in this corner of Vale of Glamorgan. Rosedew Farm's Acorn Café is a popular venue. Tucked away on a farm this café is known for serving mouth-watering roast dinners. For the latest restaurant news and reviews sign up to our food and drink newsletter here.

The inn serves dishes such as a slow-cooked pork belly, vegan curry, and the classics including fish and chips and steaks making it the perfect spot that caters for anyone's appetite.

And for your cosy cafés you have Bakehouse in Commercial Street, Café Velo in Church Street, and The Cwtch Restaurant in East Street.
