LACHLAN CAUGHT OUT?
As the net closes in, the killer teen is feeling the pressure
The fact that Lachlan has got away with murder for so long has been something of a miracle, but as the leaves turn brown, the net closes in. There’s a body buried in the woods, and rebecca, who everyone thinks is in Wales, knows exactly what her nephew has done.
‘Lachlan has thought about killing rebecca, but she is family and all he has left,’ says Thomas atkinson, who plays him. ‘He must keep her quiet, though, as she could ruin everything.’
rebecca isn’t Lachlan’s only problem. Young Liv is super suspicious of her neighbour, well aware that he recently tried to kill her and robert.
‘Lachlan thought he could outwit people, but things start to unravel,’ says Thomas. ‘people, including Belle, start to notice that he is behaving oddly.’
Belle has no idea that she’s living with a serial killer, and Lachlan knows she’d leave him if she discovered the truth. But could she be in danger, too?
‘Lachlan doesn’t think he could hurt Belle, but who knows what he is capable of when put under pressure?’ teases Thomas. ‘He will do whatever he has to do to hide his crimes. The best possible outcome for him would be that he gets away with the killings and lives happily ever after with Belle…but that is unlikely!
‘In the autumn, the story moves towards a shocking climax, and there’ll
be some surprises along the way.’
