Kidnapped by a dark car, in the middle of the night. Maybe taken hostage or voluntarily handed over to kidnappers. Thus ended, after 22 years, the adventure of Terence Hill as the protagonist of Don Matteo , one of the most loved and long-lived series of Italian TV.

A twist that took by surprise, and at times aroused anger and indignation, among the fans who did not fail to comment on social media by making the hashtag with the name of the popular actor trending topic on twitter.

That aired last night on Rai 1 was supposed to be the episode with which the parish priest-detective most loved by TV definitively took leave of his fans to leave the baton to the newcomer Don Massimo, played by Raoul Bova . An episode that from the very beginning, a mysterious case of murder at the spa, however, did not foreshadow what would later happen.

More than an hour from the start of the episode, a nostalgic sigh from Don Matteo as he observes a photo of him with a group of children in Brazil, made us think of his departure from Italy for a return to the missions in youth had dedicated himself. Then, suddenly, the twist: the parish priest is led by someone inside a dark car, which disappears into the night.

Fans then ask themselves: what happened to Don Matteo? And while the hypotheses multiply on social networks, there is the hope that Terence Hill will return in a cameo at the end of the season.
