Death in paradise: fans theorize about sergeant mattie's mysterious past

Sergeant Mattie Fletcher, played by Catherine Garton, has quickly become a fan favorite on the latest season of BBC's Death in Paradise.

Mystery deepens over mattie's jamaica past

Throughout the series, hints have been dropped about a secret Mattie keeps from her colleagues in Saint Marie. In episode five, it emerged that she 'messed up' on a previous case while working in Jamaica, leading to her transfer.

In the season's epic finale, Mattie's discomfort around someone's calls and her distress at being told about a missed call only sparked more speculation about what really happened in the Caribbean.

Fans have been piecing together the clues and a popular theory is that Mattie was involved romantically with a murder suspect. 'What with the Commissioner and Mattie's dialogue about her past in the theatre episode, I think that Mattie might've had some sort of fling with a prior murder suspect,' one fan theorized.

Another agreed: 'That's what I was thinking too. Given what we know so far, it would make sense for that to be the case too.'

While the truth about Mattie's past remains under wraps until season 16, fans are eagerly awaiting the answers.
