So many residents, so many motives, so many suspects! Just
who is the Summer Bay stalker? Presuming it's just one
person...! The residents have been reduced down to five
main suspects by Channel Seven:
- Dan Baker
- Zoe McCallister
- Jesse McGregor
- Josie Russell
- Flynn Saunders
However, how do we know that it actually is one of these
shifty looking five? They could be trying to throw us off
course. This is the stalker at work, you never know what
will happen next. But to be on the safe side, let's start
off by examining these five.
Dan Baker
Why would a nice quiet boy like Dan want to go around
terrorising the residents of Summer Bay? We don't know,
but isn't it true that you always have to watch out for the
quiet ones? He hasn't had much interaction with other Summer
Bay residents, and doesn't have a huge amount of friends, so
maybe he resents them for this? Or maybe he didn't want to
get too close to them if he knew it wouldn't be long until
he was murdering them.Peter and Dan weren't on the best
of terms when Peter arrived in Summer Bay. Plus, Peter awoke
from his coma to find himself in love with Leah. The Stalker
has caused nothing but stress and problems for Peter, so
maybe it's all part of Dan's master plan to get Peter out of
his life!
Josie Russell
Shortening this list down could be difficult. Josie has
numerous reasons for being the Summer Bay Stalker, and
Number #1 is Marc Edwards. He's been making her life hell
since they got a little too close one night. She couldn't
have Jesse finding out what went on between them, and this
resulted in her being blackmailed by Marc for months.
Could this have caused her to start stalking the residents?
After all, she accused Marc of being the stalker and he was
almost proved to be so. Could it have been a major setup to
get rid of him? Of course, we'd have to ignore the fact that
her encounter with Marc happened after some of the first
stalker incidents took place, but it could still be a
possibility.
But of course, there's a much more obvious reason why
Josie could want to terrorise Summer Bay. She's Angie's
cousin, and nobody hated Summer Bay more than Angie. Angie
possessed stalker-like qualities herself, making Nick's life
hell for months and setting fire to Summer Bay High. Could
Josie secretly have some of Angie's evil streak in her?
Could she be out for revenge on the town that killed her
cousin?
Jesse McGregor
Summer Bay has treated Jesse relatively well, but that
doesn't mean he couldn't be to blame. He's been to jail
before, and he's well known for his violent personality.
He's had many mood swings and had numerous fights with other
residents, so there's nothing to say he couldn't take a turn
for a worse and turn into the Summer Bay Stalker.Then of
course, we come back to Marc. He made a fool of Jesse when
it was revealed that Marc and Josie had kissed, so maybe
Jesse did what he did to frame him. Of course, that leaves
the problem of the events that happened before Jesse and
Josie's wedding, but with the search getting more and more
urgent, we have to consider every option. Or is this just
too much of a long shot?
Zoe McCalister
Zoe's reasons for terrorising the whole of Summer Bay are
limited. For a start, she only moved to the area a few
months ago when she got the job as a nurse at the hospital.
But is that something we should be suspicious about? Why did
she get the job in the first place - why Summer Bay over
anywhere else? Or is this just paranoia setting in?She's
been the victim of the Stalker's reign of terror herself -
she was attacked while on a date with Kim, leaving her with
a cut arm. We didn't see the stalker, so the possibility for
it to be her is still there, however unlikely it may be.
What other reasons could she have? Could it have been her
who stole the pills from the hospital? Maybe she's secretly
on drugs and it's driving her to destruction!
Flynn Saunders
There aren't many reasons for Flynn to stalk the town he has
lived in for years. His relationship with Sally may have
been rocky in recent months, but surely that wouldn't be
enough to send him over the edge. Plus, he's been working so
many hours that he's hardly had time to go on a mass
rampage.Aah, although we have to remember what got him
through all the extra hours - drugs! Could they have had
more of an effect on him than simply giving him extra
energy? Could they have messed with his mind, causing him to
lose control of his actions and terrorise Summer Bay? We all
know how bad drugs can be, they almost cost Kirsty's life,
so it's certainly a possibility. |
