Death in Paradise fans are abuzz with speculation that Humphrey Goodman (played by Kris Marshall) might make a dramatic return amid concerns that Sewyln Patterson (Don Warrington) could be waving goodbye to Saint Marie.
In last night’s tear-jerker episode, Selwyn finally confessed to his colleagues that his role as the Commissioner of Saint Marie was being dissolved.
After making amends with Darlene Curtis (Ginny Holder), the Commissioner dropped a bombshell: “There is also a second apology I have to make.
“I have been keeping something from you which… on the advice of a trusted friend, I have decided to share with you all.
“The position of Saint Marie’s Police Commissioner is being phased out, and I am being phased out,” reports the Express.

Naomi (Shantol Jackson) protested, “They can’t,” only to hear Selwyn sombrely respond: “I am afraid they can, and they are.”
While some fans are gutted over the looming exit of the Commissioner, there’s chatter about this opening the door for some well-missed characters to make a comeback.
One enthusiast speculated on social media: “If Selwyn Patterson leaves Death in Paradise, can we have Humphrey and Jack come back to save him from being axed?”
Another chimed in with support: “Bring back Humphrey.”
A third shared their nostalgia: “I like all of the characters, especially Selwyn, I do miss Kris Marshall.”

Another lamented: “I Miss Neville and Florence, it isn’t the same without them.”
Agreeing with the sentiment, one fan simply stated: “Yeah, I agree.”
Another, pondering a heroic return, added, “Humphrey was my favourite. He could come back to save Selwyn’s job.”
While Humphrey has returned to Death in Paradise following his departure, he is currently featured in the show’s spin-off, Beyond Paradise.
Ardal O’Hanlon, known for his role as Jack Mooney, also recently returned to his character in the fresh Australian spin-off, Return to Paradise.
Death in Paradise returns on Friday at 9pm on BBC One.
