Screenwriter Debbie Horsfield never disappoints when it comes to drama-packed season finales for hit Cornish period saga Poldark. And as series four draws to a close this week, the scene is set for a roller-coaster episode that promises to change the lives of hero Ross and all the main characters forever…

Following the explosive showdown with Monk Adderley last week, Ross returns to Cornwall to try to make amends with wife Demelza, but will he succeed?

Meanwhile, desperate Elizabeth obtains a tonic designed to induce an early labour in an attempt to convince husband George that little Valentine is his child once and for all. But will her plan work? Elsewhere, Morwenna seeks out Drake – could a fairy-tale ending finally be on the cards for the star-crossed lovers?

With so many threads to tie up, TV Times met with Debbie to find out more…

So, Debbie, how would you describe the final episode?

Dramatic, exhilarating, tense, heartbreaking... but ultimately heart-warming! There’s so much story, so many twists and turns, we couldn’t fit it all in! The opening scene will be a surprise and we’ll get to see the return of some familiar faces who came back especially for the finale.

What’s in store for Ross and Demelza (Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson)?
