The ABC Murders (TV Episode 1992) - Who Is Jack Farthing? The actor who plays Donald is Bexhill.

There is a novel called The A.B.C.Donald "Don" Fraser was Betty's would-be husband.He is the prime suspect in Betty's murder.He is a member of the Legion.He works as a house agent.

He is described as a "well-made, fine- looking young fellow, standing close on six foot, not good-looking, but with a pleasant freckled face, high cheek-bone and flaming red hair".

Donald is a very quiet, bottled-up person who can't always express his feelings in words.He was always jealous of Betty.He didn't understand why Betty kept going out with other people if she really wanted him.On one occasion he was so violent that she was frightened, he and Betty had had a few rows about this.

The last row was caused by Betty telling Donald that she was going to visit a girl friend, but he found out she had actually been to Eastbourne with another man.Donald had said that one day he would kill Betty, as she was not married to him yet, she had a right to go about with anyone she pleased.

Donald told Poirot that Betty said she was going to St Leonards with a girl friend on the night of the murder.He says that he believed her when she first said it, but then he started to wonder, perhaps because of something in her manner.He went to St Leonards to see if she was on the buses.He became convinced that she was with another man, and that they had gone to Hastings.He searched for her at hotels, restaurants, cinemas, and on the pier.He went home when he didn't find her.

Donald goes to see Poirot to tell him about a recurring dream that he has been having.He is looking for Betty, who is lost, and needs to give her her belt.He found her sitting on the beach and killed her with a belt.He saw that it was Megan, not Betty, when her head fell back.

Donald's dream had a very natural explanation according to Poirot.Donald didn't want to think of himself being unfaithful to Betty so soon after her death, so he tried to stifle and kill the thought that Megan was replacing her sister in his heart.
