Death in Paradise fans shared their universal disappointment following the end of the current series of the popular BBC One detective drama on Friday, February 24. Ahead of the final episode, there was concern that lead star Ralf Little, who plays DI Neville Parker, would be leaving the show.
In the penultimate episode of the series, viewers saw Neville wrongly imprisoned for a murder that he didn’t commit. Then, it was revealed that the character’s girlfriend Sophie had been responsible for the crime and had been lying to him over the course of the series.
With Sophie behind bars, Neville contemplated leaving Saint Marie after finding it difficult to escape the memories he made with his killer ex. Luckily, after some words of advice from Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington), he ultimately chose to stay on the island.
