Speaking about his character's storylines in the new series of Father Brown, John said: "I think he's in a good place. He's had a taste of being an inspector and is now starting to realise what that entails and the responsibilities that come with it.
"Although he's passed his inspector's exam, he can't become an inspector until a position becomes vacant, but I think he's more than happy to stay where he is as the Sergeant."
He went on to tease the "journey" Goodfellow finds himself on, and revealed viewers get to meet his wife Violet for the very first time.
"We meet Goodfellow’s wife (Violet) for the first time and we find out a little bit more about his home life which I’m delighted about. We also find out something about Goodfellow - which plays out in the final episode," John teased.
He concluded by adding: "There has been a running joke over the years where Goodfellow says to Father Brown 'I could lose my job over this', and this series he may well do!
"We see him really get into trouble and MI5 come down to investigate, so we’ll have to see how he gets on and how he copes with all the fallout from it."
Father Brown season 12 continues every Friday at 2pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
