When asked by a fan if he misses home while filming for the drama, which usually takes place over six months, Ralf responded: "I mean yes and no. I miss my dogs but the dogs are in America, so I miss the dogs and I miss my other half. But people come to visit for a start and secondly, I'm so busy and I've built a life here. 

"Also, when you're missing home, that helps," he said, pointing at the stunning ocean view behind him.

"I'm the kind of person that's very present wherever I am. So, I'm here, this is what I'm doing and I'm lucky enough to really enjoy what I do. So, yes and no," he added. 

Ralf loves giving fans new insights into the show during his Q&A sessions, and even teased a potential romance for his character DI Neville Parker in the upcoming season.

"Obviously I can't give you any spoilers and tell you what's going on but everyone wants Neville to have a successful girlfriend, especially me, so fingers crossed it works out for him in season 13," the 43-year-old explained.

Ralf's character has been unlucky in love

He also addressed the potential for expanding the Death in Paradise universe and creating more spin-off seasons following the success of the UK-based series, Beyond Paradise. 

When asked by a viewer if he'd travel down to Devon for a crossover episode with Beyond Paradise, the actor said: "Yeah, totally. I'm quite loving the fact, now that there is Beyond Paradise, there's a bit of a joke amongst us that like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that there is a Death in Paradise Cinematic Universe."

He went on to add: "So who knows? Maybe [there will be] more. Maybe there's going to be Death in the States or Death in the Maldives would be quite nice."

Chatting to The Mirror about the engagement back in 2020, Ralf said: "We were in a country house, it was a big surprise. I planned it in advance. I had a total result with the ring, though. She said to me if she ever got engaged there's only one ring for her — her grandma's, it's absolutely beautiful."
