Nicky Hoskins (Death in Paradise)

Nicky Hoskins (Neve McIntosh) is the secondary villainess of "The Complex Murder", the Season 5 premiere of BBC's Death in Paradise (airdate January 7, 2016). She was part of a diving group led by Dan Hagen, who was also her ex-boyfriend.
Nicky was heartbroken when her relationship with Dan ended, and it was through her heartbreak that she found herself seduced by stewardess Laura Hagen, who enlisted her lover in a plot to make off with Dan's wealth. To do so, Nicky provided Laura with information about Dan that allowed Laura to seduce him, with the two joining his diving group and putting on an act of being in conflict with each other over Dan to hide their relationship.
While visiting Saint Marie, the villainous couple enacted their plot to kill Dan, with Laura going back to the boat to retrieve her bag before a dive and using it as an opportunity to shoot Dan to death. Later on, the evil Nicky went into the boat cabin where Dan's body was, ransacking the area before screaming for the group. As a result, Nicky and Laura appeared to have perfect alibis and it was initially believed that Dan was killed by a robber.
But ultimately, DI Humphrey Goodman was able to piece together Nicky and Laura's history with each other and how they were lovers and conspirators in Dan's murder. Humphrey gathered the diving group together and exposed Nicky and Laura's murder plot, with Nicky's phone records showing calls between her and Laura being amongst the evidence sealing their fate. As the women were handcuffed, Nicky began to panic over their arrest, with Laura viciously ordering her lover to stay quiet before they were taken away.
