As we head towards the mid-point in the current season of Death in Paradise<\/a>, there are still so many questions we need answered. Will Neville end up with Sophie<\/a> as she heads back to Saint Marie? And what\u2019s up with Neville\u2019s friend Andy<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Some fans may feel they have it all sussed out but they should perhaps start rethinking their theories, as the show\u2019s creator Tim Key has stressed that this season will go in directions fans \u201cwon\u2019t expect\u201d.<\/p>\n

Key spoke exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the hit crime series at this year\u2019s Radio Times Covers Party\u00a0<\/strong>last night (Tuesday 31st January), alongside Selwyn actor Don Warrington, and was quick to tease there will be plenty of twists down the road.<\/p>\n

When asked what fans can expect from the rest of the season, particularly in relation to Neville\u2019s relationship with Sophie, Key said: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be interesting. Everything in this series is going in directions that people won\u2019t expect. I think that\u2019s a fair thing to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s episode of Death in Paradise is set to see the drama pick up with one of its other long-running stories this season, which is Selwyn getting to know his daughter<\/a>, who until the end of last season he was unaware existed.<\/p>\n

The synopsis for the upcoming episode teases: \u201cThe team investigate the murder of a former children\u2019s home resident. Meanwhile, Marlon sits his sergeant\u2019s exams, and Selwyn meets his daughter for the first time.\u201d<\/p>

There\u2019s been a lot of speculation this season as to whether it will be Ralf Little\u2019s last<\/a> as the show\u2019s lead detective, Neville. Not only could Neville\u2019s relationship with Sophie eventually drag him away from Saint Marie, but there also seem to be a number of potential threats appearing for him.<\/p>\n

Of course, whatever happens, Neville won\u2019t be the only lead detective from the show seen on screen this year, as Kris Marshall\u2019s Humphrey, who led the series from seasons 3 to 6, is getting his own spin-off<\/a>.<\/p>\n
