BBC Death in Paradise viewers worried Ralf Little could be leaving Saint-Marie

Death in Paradise viewers have been loving the blossoming romance between Ralf Little's detective Neville Parker and tourist Sophie Chambers (Chelsea Edge), who comes from his home city of Manchester.

However, some have expressed concerns it could mean Ralf leaves the Carribean Island of Saint-Marie and returns to the UK.

Friday night's episode saw Neville share a string of adventurous dates with Sophie - while the police team investigated a preppers commune when one of their members was poisoned inside a locked bunker. The episode also saw Sophie's sojourn in Saint-Marie come to an end, with her heading home.

But some fans think history will repeat itself and that Neville will leave the island for love, just like one of his predecessors - Humprey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall - did in series five. Ralf Little is now officially the longest-serving detective on the show - with four series and two specials to his name.

However, fans are now worried his time on the BBC show could be coming to an end. Becca Simmons tweeted: "Neville’s going to want to go home with Sophie isn’t he - I hope not, I don’t want him to leave!"

Debbie Backman agreed, tweeting: "I just don't want Neville leaving with Sophie."

And @sophieFigueia95 agreed, saying: "Please don't make this another Humphrey/Martha situation where Neville leaves soon."

However, @vegas_UK was more hopeful. They said: "Hopefully Sophie moves to Saint-Marie. we haven’t had a full time loved up DI in the beachfront home, surprisingly, with Catherines matchmaking skills. We don’t want Neville departing the Island any time soon, we need a romance."

Jodie Portugal shared a smilar hope for Neville, tweeting: "I really love Sophie, she's so adorkable, hope she stays and settles on Saint Marie. Remember some detectives die, or leave for love or family...or both She stays and she and Neville become a family...with Harry."
