Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise fans react as they predict return of ‘FAV0URlTE’ detective after EXlT FEARS
Is Selwyn Patterson Leaving St. Marie? Fans Fear the Worst!
Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise fans are buzzing with speculation after last night’s emotional episode hinted at a major shake-up.
Commissioner Selwyn Patterson dropped a bombshell—his role is being dissolved, leaving many wondering if he’s saying goodbye to St. Marie for good.
A Heartbreaking Revelation
After making amends with Darlene Curtis, Selwyn finally opened up to his colleagues.
“There is also a second apology I have to make,” he admitted. “I’ve been keeping something from you, which—on the advice of a trusted friend—I have decided to share. The position of St. Marie’s Police Commissioner is being phased out, and I am being dismissed.”
His shocking confession left Naomi protesting, “They can’t!”—only for Selwyn to reply with devastating certainty:
“I’m afraid they can… and they are.”
Could This Open the Door for a Fan-Favorite Return?
While many fans are heartbroken over the looming exit of the commissioner, others are clinging to a silver lining—could this shake-up pave the way for the return of beloved characters?
One enthusiastic viewer speculated:
“If Selwyn Patterson leaves Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise, can we have Humphrey and Jack come back to save him from being axed?”
Another agreed, rallying for a comeback:
“Bring back Humphrey!”
A third fan shared their nostalgia:
“I love all the characters, especially Selwyn, but I really miss Kris Marshall!”
Another lamented:
“I miss Neville and Florence… it’s not the same without them.”
One fan simply stated:
“Yeah, I agree.”
And another, hoping for a heroic return, added:
“Humphrey was my favorite—he could come back to save Selwyn’s job!”
Could Humphrey or Jack Make a Comeback?
Although Humphrey Goodman has since returned to the Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise universe in the spin-off Beyond Paradise, fans are wondering if he could make a dramatic reappearance in St. Marie.
Meanwhile, Ardal O’Hanlon, known for playing Jack Mooney, has also recently reprised his role in the Australian spin-off Return to Paradise.
Could either of them step in to help Selwyn stay on the island?
With the future of St. Marie’s beloved commissioner hanging in the balance, fans will have to wait and see what’s next.
