After the lights go out, the groomsmen form a search party and finally find that body – it’s Will… Who were the prime suspects in The Guest List? Many had a motive.

She’s here to support Jules, but also seems very fragile and distraught. The Guest List: The Staff Yes, he and Will carried out the prank that caused Darcey/Loner’s death. So maybe they both got what they deserved. But many of us (including me) felt a little sorry for Johnno. Where is Darcey/Loner’s body, anyway?
