Let’s review the evidence piling up against her, shall we?

1) Her car was seen at Elizabeth’s house, and at Alister and Joanna’s holiday cottage.

2) She had created a fake Facebook profile under the name of Daniel Falcon, purely to stalk Joanna on social media for three years.

3) She was found inside the holiday cottage just before Alister and Joanna’s arrival.

4) She barged into a fast-food establishment, looking dishevelled and suspicious, extremely near the spot where Noah (supposedly) disappeared, at exactly the moment he was supposed to have been taken.

5) She had a shovel in the boot of her car – and fingernails smeared with dirt.

6) She called Joanna a couple of weeks before the trip to Australia to talk about the custody battle, telling her she didn’t know how it felt to have a child taken away from her.

7) That aforementioned sock – how did it get in her house?

No wonder they arrested her, really. I would have arrested her, and I know for a fact that she didn’t bloody do it. However, as we saw in the ‘future’ timeline, it is Joanna who ends up on trial – not Alex. Which suggests that things can only get better for the Aussie at some point.

“There’s a lot of fear in Alexandra and I hope that I have made the progression from really palpable fear on her part through to great strength,” Keddie told Stylist when we asked after her character earlier this week.

“There’s a redemption for her as a woman and as a mother later in the show.”
