Kelly Seaver

Kelly Seaver (Anna Mae Routledge) was a groundskeeper at the Candlewick Inn and the daughter of one of the victims of John Wakefield's 2001 rampage. Her mother's death irrevocably changed her, leading to a series of emotional breakdowns that eventually had her convinced Wakefield was still alive and stalking her.

History[]

Motherless[]

Kelly was a quiet, unassuming girl. She knew, but was not particularly close to, Abby Mills, with her mother working in close quarters with Abby's father, the sheriff as the station's dispatcher.

Kate Seaver's position with local law enforcement led to her demise as one of the six victims of John Wakefield's rampage in 2001. Kate was one of three bodies found hanging from the willow tree that the locals would afterward call the Tree of Woe. Kate's death sent Kelly into a downward spiral she never fully recovered from.

Girl in Trouble[]

Kelly was present at a 2006 town hall debate about whether or not the Tree of Woe should be cut down. Kelly had an outburst just before the motion was to pass, saying the tree was a "reminder of what had happened on this island" and "We can never forget what John Wakefield did."

Between this, and a statement by Sheriff Mills, the motion was never resolved and tree was left standing.

On the Island[]

In "Whap", Kelly is seen being stared at by J.D. Dunn. She initially takes him as a pervert, but it turns out he was only looking at the tattoo on her breast. She seems interested until her ex-boyfriend Shane Pierce intervenes and insults both of them. Shane reveals that Kelly has cut herself.

In "Crackle", meets Abby Mills, quickly bonding with her. During the conversation, Kelly reveals that she has been seeing John Wakefield and believes he's still alive. She also expresses her desire to leave the island and move to Los Angeles to live with Abby, to which Abby later agrees. Kelly is later seen making out with J.D.

Death[]

Shortly after the beginning of the bonfire party in the episode "Crackle", Nikki arrives at Kelly's home to walk with her to the party. Nikki discovers Kelly hanging in her home, and Sheriff Charlie Mills is quickly on scene.

In "Ka-Blam", the island doctor Ike Campbell, acting as coroner, discovers that she had sex before she died and what appears to be blood in her eyes. He takes a sample of the substance, initially chalking it up to petechial hemorrhaging. He later calls the Sheriff, informing him that the substance is surprisingly red ink. Several Wakefield articles are discovered in Kelly's home with red ink writing on them, claiming responsibility for her death.

Trivia[]

Kelly's death was designed to implicate both J.D. Dunn and Shane Pierce, as J.D. was the last person seen with her before she died, and Shane was a tattoo artist, meaning he had the tools needed to inject red ink into her eyes.
Kelly has one of the earliest deaths in the series, dying midway through Episode 2.
Her death, along with Beth Barrington, Patrick Lillis, and Katherine Wellington remains one of four that isn't shown.
