RIPTIDE viewers have spotted a major blunder after Sean’s body was buried on the beach.
Channel 5 fans tuned into watch the second episode of the new psychological thriller which 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.
Last night, viewers saw a masked figure bury a bloodied and beaten Sean on the beach.
During tonight’s instalment the police quizzed Sean’s son Ethan after their argument on the beach came to light.
However, viewers have been left confused at why the cops haven’t bothered to comb through the beach for evidence.
One wrote: “I fail to see why the police haven’t checked the beach I mean they haven’t even considered foul play there a bit rubbish aren’t they #Riptide”
Another posted: “Ok I’m loving the drama n tension in #riptide but where’s the emotion? Her husbands gone missing poss dead and she’s not she’d a tear yet??? Why haven’t the police combed the beach? #needanswers #needemotion”
A third added: “Surely the police would check the beach for some foul play or is there only ever one detective in each Australian police station #Riptide”
During tonight’s episode, Ethan dropped a bombshell that his father’s company and the house belonged to him and he was kicking Alison out.
Meanwhile, Alison was left shaken after someone smashed a window on her front door, and was consoled by next door neighbour Dan.
But it wasn’t long before the mystery of Sean’s killer came to light.
In the last few seconds of the episode, Dan was seen with the body bag, clearly having moved it from the beach.
Viewers raced to twitter after Dan’s sinister side was revealed, with one writing: “I guess the moral of #Riptide is ‘everybody needs good neighbours’ but sometimes you end up with a bad one.”
Another posted: “Neighbour then a bit early to divulge that info on episode 2 also that was a good episode #Riptide
“KNEW that slimy neighbour had something to do with this,” a third echoed.
Someone else tweeted: “I had a feeling that neighbour was weird and had killed him #Riptide”
