Those watching at home were gutted to see him leave and took to Twitter to discuss it.
One person wrote: “#Shetland my eyes are a bit wet, goodbye Jimmy Perez, you will be missed.”
A second commented: “May or may not have a wee tear or two with @AtotheOD in that final scene there! #Shetland.”
While a third tweeted: “Thank you @djhenshall for bringing Jimmy Perez to life. I think we all fell in love with your portrayal of him. I’m sure I’m not the only one sobbing. Glad he got a happy ending. #Shetland.”
And someone else said: “Bubbling mess at Shetland because I know @djhenshall is not coming back heartbroken
#Shetland.”
Douglas, 56, shocked fans of the BBC crime drama earlier this year when he confirmed the news he had quit the show.
Tonight’s episode saw Jimmy and his team find out who was behind the murder Connor Cairns and his girlfriend Bryd.
Jimmy makes the decision to release Lloyd Anderson – an American painter who is set to be deported back to the States for his involvement in a murder back in the eighties.
Knowing he is innocent and it was in fact his partner Alison behind the murder, he lets Lloyd go – even though he is aware it’s a career ending move for him.
He bids farewell to his team and Tosh, suggesting she will take the helm in the next series.
