Death in Pardise star warns fans to watch as Solomon's 'mask slips' in horror kidnap

Death in Paradise star Daniel Ward has warned fans to watch out as DI Mervin Wilson faces serious peril in the beloved BBC detective series. Last week's episode saw Mervin, played by Don Gilet, take the leap of faith to go to Antigua in a shocking twist. Whilst searching for his brother Solomon, portrayed by Daniel, matters quickly spiral out of control as the episode ends with Mervin presumably kidnapped and strapped to a chair.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the actor revealed that things are only going to get worse for the trusting detective in the highly anticipated episode, which airs on Monday (March 9). He told us: "His brother is a troublemaker, and he's made some trouble. Mervin has gone to find his brother and has ended up, seemingly, kidnapped in Antigua, and I think it's a sad realisation of what the brothers thought might happen.

"At the end of episode two, when Solomon does leave Saint Marie, he says, 'We're not good for each other', and I think DI Mervin ending up in a chair somewhere in Antigua tied up is only proof of that."

Solomon made quite a bold entrance onto the show, storming into the detective's life with his eccentric red car and a bright pink flamingo. He managed to win everyone he met with his charisma before vanishing into thin air.

He teased: "The thing about Solomon is that his natural reaction to things is to be charming, to be a sycophant to disarm people through his charm and playfulness.

"That's his natural demeanour, but I think throughout the series we see that mask slip and tonight that mask begins to drop and we begin to see more of what he is actually like as a person and how he got to that place."

The actor warned fans to keep an eye out for the little details about the brothers' history as they desperately try and predict what his true motives are on the show. He urged: "I'd like fans to keep an eye out for the history of the brothers.

"I think we know Mervin's grown up in care, and he's had a troubled past, and Solomon has had a troubled past. It's interesting how those two experiences interact. There are certainly parallels in terms of having a troubled childhood in a number of ways. You see that sometimes it makes one person go one way, and it makes another person go another.

"That's one of the things I found most interesting because, certainly with Mervin, there's an alternate future where he might have gone down a different route, and that's why sometimes he's more miserable. They're very different, but they share history, and that's manifested differently in them as adults."
