Death in Paradise enthusiasts are left with half a dozen pressing queries after the curtain fell on the finale of the BBC drama, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating more.
Series 14 concluded with the usual climactic resolution of another crime, with Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson (played by Don Gilet) tasked with solving it.
With the confirmation of Series 15, viewers are brimming with questions they hope will be addressed in the next season. Among these is curiosity about Mervin's unexpected brother Solomon, with fans reeling from the discovery of his secret sibling.
After unravelling the case of his mother's demise, it wasn't only this family bombshell revealed during series 14.
Renowned for his tenacious investigating style, Mervin might naturally hesitate to encounter a newfound kin. Yet, the audience is pondering whether Mervin and Solomon will eventually meet in the forthcoming series or if even more revelations about identities are in store.
Another burning conundrum waiting to be resolved involves Catherine's (Élizabeth Bourgine) new, undisclosed love interest. The local mayor and pub owner disclosed to Naomi (Shantol Jackson) and Darlene (Ginny Holder) her recent romantic escapades, maintaining that it's still the "early days" of her relationship, reports the Express.
Her love life has been off-screen since series one, which featured her partner Aidan Miles, portrayed by Line of Duty's Adrian Dunbar, being unveiled as a killer. Curiosity peaks as fans speculate whether Catherine's new man will be someone they recognise, or another villain in disguise.
Death in Paradise has left viewers on tenterhooks, ending with Mervin's dilemma over a potential move back to London or staying in Saint Marie. Actor Gilet has been seen filming for the upcoming episodes, yet it remains uncertain how long his character will remain on the idyllic island.
There's speculation around whether Don's portrayal might reach the popularity of Little among fans, or if his time in the Caribbean sun is destined for an abrupt end. As audiences anticipate future episodes, they eagerly await to see the duration of his stint.
Meanwhile, followers of the show also have burning questions concerning Naomi. Her encounter with her former flame Emmanuel (Bobby Gordon) revealed his new relationship status, and despite Catherine's matchmaking attempt, Naomi turned down the chance for romance, leaving fans clamouring for her to take centre stage with a significant storyline.
One fan articulated their eagerness on social media: "It's waaay past time Naomi had her own storyline on #DeathInParadise. I demand one for season 15."
Lastly, the mystery surrounding Commissioner Selwyn Patterson's (Don Warrington) return has captured everyone's attention.
The offer to reclaim his post after Sterling Fox's (Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge) contentious tenure was declined, stirring queries about whether he will come back to Saint Marie following time spent with his daughter Andrina (Genesis Lynea), who could arguably be the catalyst for his much-anticipated comeback to bring peace to paradise.
