THE ANSWERS REVEALED
WHO Killed Charles Blackthorne…..
Lillian Marlowe
WHAT SHE DID:
After a heated argument with Charles, Lillian, being the self centered, Narcissist that she is, lunged at Charles, pushing him towards the edge of the rooftop. Charles tripped over a small pipe and plunged to his death below.
MOTIVE:
Lillian was a STAR! How dare Charles fire her and ban her from the premises! He had been receiving information from Sam, and other co-workers stating she was always talking down to them, treating them like they were nothing. She acted like she OWNED the Fox. Lillian was HUMILIATED in front of her FANS…….and VERY ANGRY!! She could NOT let Charles get away with ruining her STARDOM!
WHO Attacked Sam Ortega
Beth Cunningham
WHAT SHE DID:
Hit him repeatedly in the head with a statue, while he was sleeping on the couch in his living room.
MOTIVE:
Beth went to Sam’s house to confront him, (and kill him if necessary) on his threat to tell Daniel that he was his biological father. Prior to going, she went to the Bus Depot to purchase a ticket, in case she needed to escape quickly. If Sam tells Daniel it would ruin everything. Daniel thinks that Stephen IS his biological father, and that his biological mother had died giving birth to him. Now, everyone would know the truth. She had a one night stand with Sam whom she had met at the Pump House years ago. When she told sam that she was having his child, and thought they should marry, Sam refused to marry her. Out of spite and hatred for him she gave Daniel up. That way, Sam could never have him. She had to silence him.
“Where Are They Now” : FAST FORWARD ONE YEAR …….
Lillian Marlowe is currently in custody at the Bob Wiley Detention Facility, and was denied bail. She faced a Jury trial and was found guilty of the murder of Charles Blackthorne. She is currently awaiting sentencing.
Beth Cunningham After losing her Bus Ticket at the crime scene, she was arrested just as her bus was taking off for L.A. She too is being housed at Bob Wiley Detention Facility. Her bail was set at $350,000 for the attack on Sam Ortega, which she could not raise. Her trial is still ongoing. She and Lillian have become friends, and spend their time outside their cells, venting about Charles and Sam.
Clara
After Charles’ death, she quickly turned her attention to Victor Langston. The two spent some time together, though it became clear to Victor that her intentions were less than genuine. The connection was short-lived. Not long after, Clara met a Politician online, and quietly left town — relocating to Sacramento, her ambitions… redirected elsewhere.
Victor, Evelyn, and Daniel…
Evelyn continues to maintain her connections with both Victor and Daniel, navigating a situation that remains… complicated.
Daniel, however, has begun to see things differently.
After a long and revealing conversation with Sam, the truth has shifted his perspective — not just about the past, but about who he wants beside him moving forward.
Some decisions… are still being made.
STEPHEN
Stephen was questioned during the investigation due to his proximity to the case.
No evidence linked him to the crime, and he was released without charges. Authorities confirmed his involvement was incidental. He and Daniel still have a solid relationship.
Samuel & Daniel
Sam spent one week recovering in the hospital.
During that time, he revealed the truth to Daniel—that he was his biological father.
After a difficult beginning, the two have since formed a strong and meaningful relationship.
