Detective Mervin Wilson was left gutted on Friday night after he said goodbye to his brother
Death in Paradise newcomer Solomon (played by Daniel Ward) seemingly confirmed his departure from the BBC drama on Friday evening after pinching belongings from the Shack that belonged to his brother, Detective Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet).
Mervin had been keen to forge a connection with his long-lost sibling, but it’s fair to say Solomon wasn’t quite what he’d anticipated. During the closing moments of the opening episode, Solomon made off with Mervin’s possessions after the detective turned down his request for cash. Yet it wasn’t long before the DI located his brother and warned that he’d have him arrested.
Following an incident where he shoved his brother into a pool, Solomon attempted to flee but confessed he was in debt to someone and had no idea how to settle it.
After returning Mervin’s belongings, Solomon made his way to the Saint Marie harbour and was preparing to board a vessel when Mervin rang him, reports the Express. “Hey, Sol,” Mervin said as Solomon waited to get on board the boat. “Look, I just got home, and I saw that you brought of my stuff back.
“Well, you know, I worked the Solomon Clarke magic,” Solomon laughed. The detective replied, “Well, I just wanted to say thank you. Did you have to give Myrtle her money back? You’re not still in debt, are you?”
“Don’t worry yourself,” Solomon replied before adding, “Got to get a boat back to Antigua, got some business over there that needs attending to.” “Of course you have,” the DI went on. “There is always something going on in Solomon land, right?
“You said it,” his brother jested as Mervin queried, “What about us now? What do we do next?”
“I don’t know, man,” Solomon confessed. “Like you said, I am trouble. A detective doesn’t need that in his life. And no disrespect to you, bro, but it’s not good to me having a police officer around, got a reputation to keep.”
He added, “Look, man, we tried this, and maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Look after yourself.”
Death in Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
