BBC Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise’s Selwyn Patterson’s future ‘revealed’ in spoiler pictures

Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise is gearing up for its grand finale, set to be broadcast on Friday, 28 March, wrapping up its fourteenth season. This season welcomed DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet) as he stepped into the shoes left by DI Neville Parker (Ralf Little). The latest series has featured revelations about Mervin's past, including the unsettling truth surrounding his mum's Dᴇᴀᴛʜ and his own adoption story. Meanwhile, Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington) has been wrestling with his own troubles, most notably discovering that the Honore Police Department had decided to terminate his services after a dedicated half-century.

It seems it comes back to one thing: to save money."Refusing to accept defeat, Catherine and Selwyn initiated an online petition to preserve his position. Despite attracting a swell of support and thousands of backers, their campaign made no headway in swaying the chief commissioner, reports the Mirror. To make matters worse, Sterling Fox (Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge), Selwyn's successor, arrived on the scene. However, Selwyn's unwavering dedication, particularly his involvement in solving the case of Mervin's late mother's murder and ensuring justice was served, underscored his indispensable role within the police force. Intriguingly, a sneak peek of the much-awaited final episode indicates that Selwyn might be reinstated. But the question hanging in the air is whether he will embrace the offer to return or choose to decline it.

Another image captures the pair on the verge of an embrace, with Mervin looking on. Viewers are eagerly anticipating the resolution to Selwyn's dilemma in the finale, which was delayed longer than expected due to this year's Comic Relief taking over the Friday slot on 21 March on BBC One. The final episode's synopsis teases: "Mervin is about to fly home but finds himself at the centre of a murder investigation when a body is discovered in his shack. As Mervin professes his innocence, the team can't work out how the victim ended up inside a locked building with no sign of forced entry. "The woman's identity remains elusive until they discover she was volunteering at a local turtle conservation charity, and suspicion falls on her colleagues. "Meanwhile, Selwyn grapples with his most difficult decision yet when he delivers some personal news to Mervin that turns everything on its head." Dᴇᴀᴛʜ in Paradise airs on Friday, 28 March on BBC One at 8pm
