The Lifetime movie The Bachelor Next Door is about a newly engaged couple, Alex (Haylie Duff) and Gavin (Steven Bruns) and their new neighbor Donnie. While peeking out her window, Alex notices Donnie “yelling and punching the wall like a crazy person.” And sure enough, Donnie starts to stalk Alex. Donnie says he’s not stalking her, and then he tries to explain that he’s helping her.
