Status Updates From The Ghostwriter

He sent her away at 14 because her ideals and looks were very similar to Poppy and he couldn’t bear see his sister be outraged by his daughter/the reminder of her. He drank to cope with his secrets.
He never knew Danny was abused him and Olivia find that out together. And when they reveal it in the book other victims come forward about mr Stewart. Olivia reveals who her father is, their book sells 1000s

To tell Vince, but mr Stewart was in the house and he killed her and left, then Danny found her, then Vince attacked Danny, Danny knocked Vince out, Lydia walks in and thinks he’s killed Vince so she kills Danny, Vince wakes up, meets Lydia and then covers for her with silence and mr Stewart backs them so he also has an alibi.
Olivia realises her father wasn’t an asshole all his life but grieving/misunderstood

Not knowing Danny’s secret all these years until Olivia visits her mother and gets the tape that was in poppys camera - Vince has believed Danny killed Poppy all those years ago. And then never spoke on the matter because Lydia actually killed Danny. Their alibi was mr Stewart, they never questioned why he was so happy to cover their asses. From poppys POV we learn she came home to get a cardigan and meet Vince

She tells Vince she needs to speak with him at home but when he gets home, she’s dead and Danny’s standing over her. Assuming Danny did it he fights with him. Until Danny knocks him out at which point Lydia walks in thinking Danny has killed Poppy and Vince, kills him. Vince wakes up and Danny and poppy are dead, he runs to where he was supposed to meet Lydia & finds out she was at the house, she killed Danny

He throws her camera in to the bushes and tells her not to tell. She said he has to tell. Lydia finds poppys camera and keeps it safe to give back to her not knowing what’s on it. Vince finds poppys and Danny arguing and think it’s about the him/lydia/abortion thing. Poppy goes to me Stewart’s end of year party gets drunk and shouts at him about secrets. The next day is the carnival.

Everyone thinks he did it. He thinks Danny is trying to get him in trouble and Danny also keeps winding him up about Lydia.
Poppy captured footage of Danny in the woods with mr Stewart, mr Stewart and him talk about how Danny is avoiding him, and he knows Danny’s set fire to the equipment shed, Danny said he can’t take any more children there now, he tries to kiss Danny. Danny sees poppy and chases her

What happened was Danny raped Lydia at a party that Vince was grounded for, then promptly started ignoring hee. She’s pregnant, mr Stewart figures out she’s pregnant and takes her for an abortion. Danny finds out and assumes it’s mr Stewart’s, as does poppy and Vince when he’s told. Vince finds Danny has killed mr Stewart’s cat and also graffiti’s the gym and set fire to the equipment shed and

Bit of misdirection where you’re not sure if Lydia is sleeping with mr Stewart - overly involved teacher who moves next door to Danny/vince/Poppy and throws party’s for the kids etc. all the kids worship him but Vince hates him. He takes Lydia for an abortion which Poppy and danny finds out about before Vince, it’s not Vince’s.
Danny tells Vince and they fight.

Wow so much drama - so Olivia’s dad is telling his story and she finds tapes from his sister at the house she died in (that her dad still owns) that contradict his story - where he is painting his brother Danny as the antagoniser. What’s really happening is 2 things - Vince and Lydia have shit going on and Danny has shit going on. But everyone thinks Danny’s stuff is to do with Lydia. And it sort of it.
