**Manifesto written by Bell**
Theory Description:
At the end of episode 114 it is foreshadowed that Walter wrote, or typed really, the manifesto. But what if the typewriter was Bell's? It's certainly possible, they did share a lab. If so, do they know about "The Multiverse"? It was said somewhere that a lab helper died in the Bishop/Bell lab and only they know the nature of the death. It's a little far-fetched, but it could be related to "dimension hopping" somehow, trying to send them to a different dimension. -- originally posted by Bumblejacket
Supporting Facts or Evidence:
This makes sense considering that Walter was institutionalized at St. Claire's following the lab assistant's death. Who's to say that he didn't testify at the manslaughter trial about the multiverse and then get deemed insane? -- originally posted by Vreddy92

**Walter Bishop is William Bell**
BUSTED!
Theory Description:
According to Nina Sharpe, she and Walter used to be very close, and she spent a great deal of time with Peter when he was young. Walter and "Belly" worked together in the lab, and were partners until an experiment killed one of their lab assistants. Walter has claimed that only he and Bell know the true nature of their experiments. This, coupled with the fact that William Bell has never been shown, nor has any kind of identifying image on the website for his company massivedynamic.com, lends to the fact that Bell may not be who he is alluded to being. -- originally posted by CrazyBeardedJack

William Bell has' appeared, and he has done so together with Walter Bishop - in Fringe Comic Number 1. -- originally posted by Pierre If they are the same person, how would Walter be able to create and build BELLMEDICS into a hugely succesful company while locked up in St Claire's Hospital? -- originally posted by Evil Joe
