Home and Away Spoilers – Who dies as Stevie’s stalker returns?

Summer Bay is rocked by tragedy this week, as Stevie Marlow’s (Catherine Van-Davies) story reaches a dramatic conclusion.

Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) has been working for the world-famous actress as her personal bodyguard for nearly three months, having been drafted in as she was targetted by a stalker, Sidney Wickham (Joshua McElroy).

Stevie had already been spooked by the death of her friend and Death Throes co-star Crystal (Sheridan Harbridge), who had fallen from a cliff.

Whilst Stevie felt that Crystal never would have put herself in danger by walking near the edge, the police eventually ruled her death as accidental.

After Stevie’s stalker managed to track her down to the new hotel Cash had placed her in for safety, Stevie ended up moving in with Cash and sister Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) in Summer Bay whilst the investigation remained ongoing.

When the finding of the inquest into Crystal’s death finally came through, Stevie was devastated, knowing that the police would no longer take her case seriously.

Firing Cash, Stevie opted to carry on living her life as normal, and arranged to attend a press event announcing her new romcom movie All Our Tomorrows.

Cash was horrified to learn of her intention to attend and went along to ensure her safety despite being no longer employed by her.

His suspicions were proved correct when, as Stevie greeted fans outside the hotel, Sidney lunged at her from the crowd. Cash was able to pull Stevie out of the way before any harm was done, and he gave chase, eventually cornering and apprehending Sidney in a car park.

Sidney was arrested and placed on remand, and with the police finding a huge of amount of incriminating evidence at his home—including a collection of guns—it seemed to be an open-and-shut case.

Cash was therefore surprised when Stevie returned a few days later and asked if he would consider staying on as her personal security. Although Stevie promised he would do well out of it financially, Cash declined, not wanting to leave girlfriend Eden (Stephanie Panozzo).

Stevie said her goodbyes, but returned again with her director Nelson (Mahesh Jadu) in tow, in the hope of relocating the entire production to Summer Bay. Nelson was swayed, and as a result Stevie was able to convince Cash to rejoin her team.

The movie finally commenced production last week amongst a blaze of publicity, and whilst Sidney’s upcoming court appearance is due this week, Stevie was putting it to the back of her mind knowing that he couldn’t hurt her.

But this is Home and Away’s criminal justice system we’re talking about… and with the climactic scenes being filmed publicly on Palm Beach back in December, we already knew the outcome of this story before Stevie had even arrived on-screen.

This week, Cash is horrified to learn from his bosses at the security agency that Sidney is somehow no longer on remand!

Knowing that Stevie is filming on the beach, completely out in the open, Cash races down there.

Meanwhile, as seen in a promo released last week, Sidney has already made his way to Summer Bay, carrying a bag containing one of his firearms.

As an unsuspecting Stevie stands on the beach mid-scene, Sidney is hiding amongst the sand dunes and zeroes in on his target.

As Cash sprints down the pathway, he yells out Stevie’s name. But just as he reaches her, a shot rings out sending everyone into a panic.
