Fans of the BBC drama have been speculating about the future of Ralf Little\u2019s role on the show following several hints<\/a> that Neville could be leaving, and that development suggested that he was set to spend the rest of his days behind bars.<\/p>\n But in a staggering twist, Neville\u2019s new love interest Sophie Chambers<\/a> was revealed to be the killer. Her real name was Rebecca and she used to be a courier for a drug dealer in Manchester. She was unable to carry out her deliveries one day, so her sister Grace stood in for her. But it all ended in tragedy when Grace murdered said drug dealer in self defence and was sent to prison.<\/p>\n She later took her own life, with Sophie holding Neville, who worked on the case with corrupt cop Andy, responsible.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the reveal, Little said: \u201cFirst of all, I was really impressed with the ambition of the storyline. After the 10-year mark, shows can rest on their laurels a bit or even run out of ideas. And actually, I think this series just keeps getting better and better and more and more ambitious.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSo my first thought was, \u2018What an amazing set of bold choices for the creative team to make.\u2019 I was delighted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Little was also thrilled to throw himself into the \u201cchallenge\u201d. He added:\u00a0\u201cFrom an emotional and personal point of view, I was like, \u2018What a great challenge for me to be able to play. What a great arc for Neville.\u2019 Bless him, he\u2019s never quite been lucky in love<\/a>, so I was really looking forward to it.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd also what a great bit of casting. Chelsea [Edge, who plays Sophie] was absolutely superb and lovely. And she essentially plays two characters. She comes in and plays this really, really lovely, sweet, open, adventurous woman who then turns out to be cold and calculating. She completely reverses. So what a great journey for her to take the character on as well.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI was delighted by the whole thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Chelsea-Edge-Deathn-in-Paradise-3a8e051-e1674213077719.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
