It's Monday again and it's Broadchurch day. Episode six will no doubt be dealing with the aftermath of the shocking conclusion last week. With a major suspect apparently out of the running the investigation will have to take off again in a whole new direction. Here's who you decided were your top suspects for this week based on the evidence so far
Spoilers below
Broadchurch continues tonight on ITV at 9pm
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Susan Wright
Played by Pauline
Quirke
The thoroughly unpleasant Susan has jumped to the top of the
suspects list. She has a skateboard in her caravan that could be Danny’s and
she holds the keys to the murder scene. There’s a question mark hanging over
her true identity and the possible name change; Susan has lied and
misrepresented herself and gets her own way through the type of threatening,
bullying behaviour that we’ve seen directed at both Nige and Maggie. Of course
this could all be a great big red herring – would the real killer be acting as
suspiciously? But a huge number of people this week were concerned with her
overtures towards Tom Miller and think this could be a clue to the reasons for
Danny’s death and a clue that she is mixed up in the killing. Perhaps we need
to find out what brand of cigarettes she smokes…
(Last week – no. 2)
You said:
Robyn Kenyon I want to know more about susan! I think she
did it!
Holly Alicia Dixon I think the murder of Danny has something to
do with the women that has the dog and lives in the caravan. As why would she
have Danny's skateboard and now she's moving onto Danny's friend.
Marshaa Robinson I think Susan Wright is the killer and Nige
Carter is the accomplice. There's too many evidence stacking up against her
and, with the cigarette as new evidence, DNA might lead the police towards her.
I'm worried Tom Miller might the next victim -- I hope I'm wrong.
Emma Donovan i THINK pSYCHO SUSAN KILLED THE BOY
Anna Giladi I say the creepy trailer park lady has
something to do with it. She's bitter as if she's missed out on something
essential in life, like parenting. So she works with kids. But she's still not
having any of her own. So this frustration with having to make do with
providing nerve-wrecking fun for other happier peoples' kids, makes her resent
children. Now she's hooked the next one using her dog.
She's not the misunderstood nice lady. She threatened a woman to have her raped. Come on.
She's not the misunderstood nice lady. She threatened a woman to have her raped. Come on.
2. Joe Miller
Played by Matthew
Gravelle
Yet again, the too good to be true husband of Ellie Miller
ranks highly among the suspects – in fact nationally, bookies Ladbrookes have
him as evens favourite to be the killer. Many believe he’s involved in
something and that his son Tom knows about this, hence his all-consuming worry.
Is the fact that he used to be a paramedic significant – could he fake elements
of the murder scene to misdirect police? Or is it a drugs thing? And,
importantly, does this implicate Ellie, because surely she and Joe are one
another’s alibis
(Last week- no. 3)
You said:
Diane Gibbons I think dc miller's husband has something to
do with it and their son knows as well. Excellent drama and david tennant is
excellent in it x
Danni Ackroyd I think there is more to millers husband and
son... Son asking lots of questions about how long you get for murder, has he
seen his dad murder Danny?
Dee Long Its defo Ellie's Husband. My theory is Danny
and Tom were up to no good and Danny threatened to tell on Tom so Dad stepped
in. Tom had the evidence on his phone and computer and has deleted it to
protect his dad.....just a theory but Ellie's husband is too quiet. He would have
known about his nephews boat and had access.
Arlene Bradley I think it's Joe Miller because he's selling
drugs and was using Danny to distribute them through his paper delivery.
3. Reverend Paul Coates
Played by Arthur
Darvill
Paul is another character with secrets to reveal. He has no
alibi for the night of the killing and it would be good to know the cause of
his insomnia. What did Paul do before he became a vicar? He seems to have some
business and accountancy knowledge. Did something happen to turn him to God?
Did the students in his Computer Club uncover something that Paul would prefer
to be kept quiet? Was Danny blackmailing him – hence the money under his bed?
(Last week – no. 1)
You said:
Louise 'lulu' Smith I think it's the vicar (Rory). Don't know why, just a couple if little things. He said that jack was 'innocent'. Maybe he knows
this because he did it...?
Alysia
Szabo I still got my mind made
up with the vicar. He just seems to be hiding so much more than he lets on.
Teresa Molloy The vicar - he's never had such a massive
congregation!
4. Nige Carter
Played by Joe Sims
Nige was adamant that Jack was guilty and led the campaign
against him. The type of person the press love, perhaps, easily manipulated,
ready to swallow any half baked story that they read if it suits their
believes. Or was he using Jack’s story as a convenient smoke screen for his own
guilt. Besides, he’s shown himself as a volatile sort, quick to anger, spoiling
for a fight. Did he turn this on Danny for some reason? He’s certainly linked
to whatever Susan Wright has going on. And that crossbow is still in the back
of the van.
(Last week – no. 4)
You said:
Amanda Penrose I think Danny's friend Tom got a message on
his phone that something was up. Danny was trying to escape from the sex ring
that was going on at the hut. And they stuck him in a boat and took him to the
cliff. Pauline Quirk was walking her dog on the beach. Tom tries to grab Danny
but he ends up falling off the cliff. Where Danny's dad friend the bald headed
guy realising Danny is still alive finishes him off by strangling him.
Maxine Horne Nige did it, after he found Tom and Danny
playing with his crossbow. Dodgy caravan lady helped clean up, Tom scared he
might be next
Monil Santilal Nigel? He looks completely flustered
everytime and he's had two interactions with that shifty woman.
5. Tom Miller
Played by Adam Wilson
Many of you think that Tom’s constant worry is a sure sign
of his guilt, and we still don’t know the content of those deleted phone
messages and computer files. Still, with data retrieval underway on Danny’s
devices it’s only a matter of time before something comes to light. Some think
Tom is guilty because he knows the true identity of the killer. Others think
that Danny’s death was an accident – although, remember that strangulation and
not injury was found to be the cause of death.
(Last week – no. 5)
You said:
Pascale Van Gils I think the other little boy killed his
friend by accident...
Erin Cathcart I'm not sure but I keep coming back to
Miller's son, Tom. He knows something for sure. I don't know if he was involved
but he certainly knows who it was.
Sarah McDade I also think its the son. Probably an
accident, too.
6. DI Alec Hardy
Played by David
Tennant
Hardy – the ailing, possibly dying, detective with a major
blot on his professional record and a personal life in tatters has much to
prove to redeem himself in the eyes of others. Did he kill Danny himself so he
could apparently solve the crime and restore his reputation? If this is the
case then he’s making a very poor job of showing himself in a good light at the
moment; arguably he’s just confirming his own ineptitude. Some people believe
that Hardy’s mystery illness is the key to the case – that he killed Danny
while under the influence of some sort of psychotic episode that he does not
remember
(Last week – no. 6)
You said:
Ashley Plumridge While the show is making you think it was
everyone else who killed Danny, what if it was Tennant's character? Something
bad happened in his last case. What if it messed with him? He could have done
it, then started working just in time at the police station to "work the
case". As for rude dog lady and Danny's Dad's friend... they could have
something totally unrelated going on, that is still bad and don't want the cops
to know about. Saying all that... I hope it's not David's character, lol.
Rob Alderson David Tennant's character has a split
personality & it was the other personality that killed the boy.
Ashley Pearson I reckon that Hardy is the killer. It would
be an amazing plot twist.
7. Beth Latimer
Played by Jodie
Whittaker
Last week, nobody suspected Beth as the murderer of her own
son. This week she’s jumped back into the suspects table. Was this due to her
violent and furious outbursts directed towards Mark, Becca and Paul? Did she
already know about her husband’s affair? Was she trying to punish or frame him?
Becca also seems very close to Paul – she says she’s never been unfaithful to
Mark, but is it still worth bearing in mind?
(Last week – unranked)
Tina Gibbins I think it's the mum that's done it as she's
not the obvious one
Gwen Avery this is a brilliant piece of television can't
wait for 9 o clock Monday now i love dt but the others are so good round him to
i think its his mum i think Danny was going to the lady in the caravan and his
mum found out i don't think she meant it thou
Francis Edge The priest and the Mother got a bit frisky
and the boy saw. They chased after him to calm him down and his death was an
accident caused by their behaviour!
8. Olly Stevens
Played by Jonathan Bailey
Our own suspect
Unsuspected Olly has a troubled family life and the
unscrupulous, driving ambition to further his career and get him out of
Broadchurch. Would he kill to get his big break? Did he know that the boat was
missing already. And even when reporting the theft to the police, Olly was
still looking for his scoop. And don’t forget that it was Olly’s research that
put Jack in the frame for the murder.
(Last week – no.9)
You said:
Fi
Tyeson There's so many people it could be, but I
think it will be someone completely unexpected! For all we know it could be
Olly or that older lady he works for at the news paper.
Laura Cunniffe I think it could be the young reporter. He's
never had to supply an alibi for the night of the murder. The boat Danny was
killed in was his, and he told the woman reporter he'd show her how to get out
to where the boat was - meaning he could have done it and convenient that he
had her there as a witness when he found it 'missing'. Plus his mum went round
to Ellie asking for money in return for information about the murder. Plus all
the story's he's leaked that help incriminate other characters. I think he did
it for the simple reason they needed money and this would boost the amount of
reporting and help his career.
9. DS Ellie Miller
Played by Olivia
Colman
Ellie is just too good to be true, the nicest person in town
and right at the heart of the community. She’s also shown a ferocious
protectiveness towards those she loves. How far would she take that if a member
of her family was threatened? We also need to remember that she and Joe probably provided one another’s alibis,
implying that if one is involved then the other must be too
(Last week – no.14)
You said:
Jojo Howard I think it's Ellie Miller. I can't pinpoint
why I think it's her, I just do!
10. Becca Fisher
Played by Simone McAullay
Scarlet woman Becca, she’ll flirt with the vicar and the
police detective – she even had an affair with the plumber. However she seems
reluctant to get too close to Hardy. Is this a sign of her guilt or does she
know enough about Hardy’s condition to realise that this could be dangerous for
him? We also have learned that Becca has significant financial worries and her
hotel business is struggling.
(Last week – no. 15)
You said:
Suzanne Bosworth Hmmm. Just had a thought. The only reason any
sane woman would have for turning down the offer of chilling with DT would be
... fear? Guilt? He's a detective and she might let something slip over a drink
... HMMMMMMMMM ..... 0-0
Emma Thompson The woman that owns the pub/hotel and had the
affair with the Dad?
11. Mark Latimer
Played by Andrew
Buchan
Mark is still under suspicion – remember that he has two
hours unaccounted for in his alibi and that he has a furious temper. He was
also very reluctant to go after Jack, as though he knew already that Jack was
innocent
(Last week – no. 15)
12. Maggie Radcliffe
Played by Carolyn
Pickles
Newspaper editor Maggie could be after that one last big
scoop – and we know that she reported on major murder investigations in the
past - which would also explain why she is less then happy to have Karen White
snooping around, stealing her thunder. Many people working on the basis of the
culprit being someone completely unexpected have picked Maggie as a suspect.
(Last week no. 15)
13. Liz Roper
Played by Susan Brown
Another suspect accused following the theory that the least
expected person is probably the guiltiest, grandma Liz has done nothing yet to
arouse suspicion more than having a soft spot for Jack Marshall. We’ll have to
wait and see if she has any dark secrets of her own to give up.
(Last week – no. 13)
14. Lucy Stevens
Played by Tanya
Franks
Lucy is a relatively new face in the cast. The sister of
Ellie Miller and mother of Olly, she claims that she saw something significant
on the night of the murder. However, she’s holding out for Ellie to lend her
some money before she tells all. It seems she might find herself down at the
police station and forced to talk if she’s not careful: Hardy’s not going to be
too impressed by anyone trying to withhold information from him. We know that
Lucy is in deep trouble - but what exactly, and is she desperate enough to
kill?
(Last week – unranked)
15. SOCO Brian
Played by Peter De
Jersey
Durrty Brian attracted a bit of attention this week when he asked
Ellie out for a drink. Would he engineer a crime just so he could work closely
to her? Don’t forget, he’s in the perfect position to tamper with the evidence
(Last week – unranked)
Other suspects
Chloe Latimer
Played by Charlotte
Beaumont
The ever angry Chloe was desperate for the police to pursue
Jack. Another one with something to hide? Danny could have discovered something
that she and boyfriend Dean were up to
(Last week - no. 7)
Dean Thomas
Played by Jacob
Anderson
Dean returned this week with a burning desire to add fuel to
the fire of the accusations against Jack. Could this have been a possible
diversion from his other activities? We’re still no entirely sure what he gets
up to that make him so reluctant to have attention from the police.
(Last week – no. 8)
Steve Connelly
Played by Will Mellor
There was no sign of the self-proclaimed psychic this week
after detectives Hardy and Miller saw him off so convincingly as he seemed
poise to reel in the desperate and gullible Beth. But he had a message for
Hardy too – what was that exactly? Will he return with more to tell?
(Last week – no. 11)
Kevin Green (The postman)
Played by Jack Ashton
Will we ever now discover who it was that Jack said he saw arguing
with Danny? The postman’s alibi seemed comprehensive enough for the detectives
to rule him out of their enquiries
(Last week – no. 12)
The owner of the hut
Still unnamed, this person is the second keyholder to the
murder scene and may also hold the key to the investigation. Is it somebody we
already know from among the Broadchurch residents?
(Last week – unranked)
Karen White
Played by Vicky
McClure
Karen is a fairly ruthless and unscrupulous journalist who
does what it takes to get her scoop and to exploit a situation as it arises.
She also has a special interest in Hardy and is likely to go to extremes to
discredit him. She has already defied her boss to chase him across the country.
Would she have created a whole situation to make him look inept and justify her
claims about him over the Sandbrook case?
(Last week – unranked)
And finally
Jack Marshall
Played by David
Bradley
Jack paid the ultimate price after the merciless hounding by
the press and his former friends. It’s implied that he could not bear losing
his whole way of life in Broadchurch, that he knew things would never be the
same again and he simply could not face starting again else where. Of course
there’s always the possibility that he took his own life to evade capture…
(Last week – no. 10)
