Riptide viewers all say the same thing about ‘creepy’ neighbour in Channel 5 drama
RIPTIDE viewers have all said the same thing about the ‘creepy’ neighbour in the Channel 5 drama.
The new psychological thriller tells the story of Alison, whose life turns bleak when her Australian husband vanishes after a morning surf.
Running over four consecutive nights, the drama set in Australia stars EastEnders actress Jo Joyner as grieving wife Alison.
The first episode featured a masked figure burying a bloodied and beaten Sean on the beach.
Meanwhile last night’s episode saw the police quiz Sean’s son Ethan after their argument on the beach came to light.
However, viewers are deeply suspicious of Alison’s next door neighbour Dan, who was seen with the body bag, clearly having moved it from the beach in the final moments of the episode.

But it isn’t just his involvement in Sean’s death that they are questioning, it’s also what happened to his late wife.
Dan claims his wife died of cancer, but viewers aren’t convinced.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote alongside a screenshot of framed pictures on his wall: “How come the creepy neighbour guy only has photos of either himself or his dead wife and has none of them in the same photo together?”
Another added: “None of the photos in Dan’s house show him & his wife together. I reckon she’s an invention.
“Could Dan be a long lost brother of Sean’s who will swoop in & take the company? I was hoping Sean would make a dramatic comeback as I kind of liked him, but not likely now. #riptide.”
A third tweeted: “Its the neighbour isnt it? All the pics of him and the wife he says died of cancer are individual. Not one of him AND her together? That to me seemed odd. Made up story?”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “That wall of photos the neighbour has bothers me. They all seem to be separate photos of each of them rather than couple photos, just feels a bit odd #Riptide.”
Riptide continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
