In Agatha Christie's Poirot, Ralph was portrayed by Jamie Bamber. She claims she would've done the same if she was Ralph. When she finds out, however, Flora isn't particularly disappointed or angry at Ralph. He uses his engagement with Flora as a cover, as he has already married Ursula Bourne. The real killer was actually Sheppard, who had protected Ralph because he was most likely going to be accused and executed. He was actually hidden in a clinic near Cranchester, with the help of Dr Sheppard. However, he wasn't arrested or questioned because he was nowhere to be seen when Roger's body was found. When Roger Ackroyd died, Ralph was the prime suspect for his murder. He stands to inherit his father's wagon wheel company Ackroyd and Son, as well as Fernly Park, Roger's house. He is described by Poirot as a "young man with very dark hair and eyes, and a handsome face". In The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Captain Ralph Paton is Roger Ackroyd's stepson from his late wife's previous marriage referred to sometimes as his "adopted" son.
