In an exclusive teaser for tonight's premiere, RadioTimes.com readers can see Jack meeting the head of entertainment, Bev (Claire Sweeney).

It doesn't take Bev long to lightly scold him for his scruffy suit, but Jack is quickly distracted by the arrival of Kate.

Could there be romance at sea when the pair meet?

The Good Ship Murder follows the former Corrie trio's respective characters after a passenger on the cruise is murdered.

Will they be able to track down the perpetrator with the help of Jack's investigative background? And who could be next on the hit list?
