Dr. Stella Dickens
Background
Dr. Stella Dickens is a marine biologist that focuses on studying dolphin behavior within captivity at Seaquarium in Miami, Florida.
During the events of Devil Fish (1984) played by Valentine Monnier
Dr. Dickens is working with her dolphins including Donald when a tour guide brings a group of aquarium visitors to see her work. She shows them tricks she can do with Donald and tells them her associate, Dr. Bob Hogan, is conducting an experiment out at sea. Suddenly the dolphins start to act skittish. Dr. Dickens tells Dr. Hogan about the dolphins acting strangely and he plays the recording he made, but the sound wasn't recorded. They then realize the dolphins acted strangely at the same time Dr. Hogan noticed the noise.
Dr. Dickens stops at Peter's repair shop and tells Peter she needs his help and gives him a list of equipment she needs built. Peter and Sandra Hayes deliver the equipment to Dr. Dickens and Dr. Hogan. Peter, Dr. Dickens and Dr. Hogan go out to sea and briefly spot the Monster Shark on sonar. Dr. Hogan tells the others that the Monster Shark has been picked up on sonar again and they record the sound it makes. Dr. Dickens and Peter bring the record to Dr. Davis Barker and Sonja West and ask for their cooperation and Professor Donald West agrees. Dr. Janet Bates gives a lecture on prehistoric sharks to Peter, Dr. Hogan, Dr. Dickens, Cortez and Sheriff Gordon and she tells them she thinks the Monster Shark is a living fossil. Sheriff Gordon wants to kill the Monster Shark, but Dr. Hogan and Dr. Bates want to capture it. Peter, Dr. Dickens, Dr. Hogan and Dr. Bates go out onto the ship again.
Peter and Dr. Dickens find their equipment destroyed and have sex on the beach. They return to the ship and find Dr. Bates still alive, but Dr. Hogan dead. Peter comes up with an idea to mimic a mating call to attract the Monster Shark. Peter, Dr. Dickens and Dr. Bates go back out to sea and try Peter's idea. Two men attacks Peter and Dr. Dickens while they are diving, but Peter kills one of them and the Monster Shark kills the other. Miller ties up Dr. Dickens, who had escaped, and Peter knocks Miller into the water. The Monster Shark grabs and kills Miller. Peter and Dr. Dickens find Dr. Bates dead. Peter creates a device which plays the mating sound and Sheriff Gordon and the Coast Guard wait to burn the Monster Shark with gasoline. The Monster Shark attacks and kills a group of Coast Guardsmen, but is then set on fire and killed. Later, Dr. Dickens drives to Peter's shop and he tells her, he is going on vacation to the mountains.
