Features - The Other Summer Bay Stalker Suspects

The Stalker storyline has more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. So when they told us that the stalker was either Dan Baker, Zoe McCallister, Jesse McGregor, Josie Russell or Flynn Saunders, we didn't know if we could believe them. So, to make sure we've covered all sides, we've complied a list of reasons as to why some of the other residents of Summer Bay may be the Stalker.

Sally Fletcher
She's lived in Summer Bay almost all of her life, after being fostered by Pippa and Tom when she was only 5. Like any Summer Bay resident, she's had her fair share of ups and downs, but on a whole the town has been good to her - would she really do something as shocking as stalk the town? Fortunately, with Sally in line to become the Stalker's latest victim, it looks like she's no longer a suspect.

Marc Edwards
Ok, so Marc's dead. That's a minor setback which sort of prevents him from being the Summer Bay Stalker. But still, if Ailsa can return and Alf's ghost can rescue Colleen from the bottom of a cliff, then what's to say Marc couldn't make a re-appearance?

He certainly has more reason than most to stalk Summer Bay. He constantly caused trouble for Josie Russell, drunkenly kissing her and then bribing her for months in exchange for keeping their antics a secret. If he could do that to Josie, what's to say he'd stop there?

The tape featuring Josie and Marc exchanging money was mysteriously stolen from Robbie's bedroom. Who else would have reason to do such a thing, apart from Marc? Not long after, Zoe witnessed a dramatic showdown between Marc and Josie, in which things almost got violent. Only a short time after, Zoe was attacked while on her date with Kim. Zoe was convinced her attacker was Marc, and there's nothing to say it wasn't.

Then there's the Murder Mystery event. All of Summer Bay in one place just as Marc gets bail. How convenient. Marc storms into the event, and when the guys force him out, he claims 'It's not over yet...'. Shortly after, Scott and Hayley come across a bomb, slowly ticking down to zero. An explosion is narrowly averted and nobody is hurt. Surely this was Marc's doing?

This is where things take a twist, a smashed car is discovered with Marc inside. Peter's relieved, now believing the Stalker is dead, but when mysterious events continue, it's obvious that she or he is still out there.

Peter Baker
Ok, so it's a long shot, but what's to say Peter Baker isn't the stalker? Being a policeman gives him the perfect cover, all he has to do is pretend to investigate, and send the evidence pointing in the other direction. He's trained to spot the tell-tail signs, so he knows how to avoid them too. Plus, all things considered, he hasn't done the best job of hunting down the stalker. He or she always seems to slip away before Peter can get there, which all seems a little too convenient.

Of course, he was attacked by the Stalker, which seems to make it impossible for him to be the attacker himself. But almost everyone in Summer Bay has encountered the Stalker at some point, and someone must be to blame.

Ric Dalby
Ric was one of the very first Stalker suspects, and with good reason. Most of the suspicious activities seemed to begin the moment he arrived back in town, and they haven't stopped since. Don't forget that he was to blame for the syringe that Robbie stepped on in his bush run - what's to say he didn't plant it there on purpose? A mysterious figure was seen watching the three while they were around their camp, and as Ric had been in the area around the same time, it could easily have been him.

Also, Ric seems to have been lying low over the past few weeks. He hasn't been making much of an appearance around town, and could this be because he's off planning his next attack? He has a violent temper, and was accused of murder after his dad's death. He's certainly one to watch out for.
