I don't think Jessica was involved with the MH filming, she has made several references that make her sound like she's a native of whatever town Jay is staying. Like when Jay brings up the park she says she hasn't been to it since being a little girl and in entry 32 she mentions having vague memories of being stalked by (presumably) Slenderman when she was little. It seems like they're unrelated except for being exposed to the Operator.

Jay's watched all of the tapes of Marble Hornets film (that we know about). Especially since Alex started filming so extensively, I think it's likely that everyone involved in the production of Marble Hornets would have showed up on the tapes in one form or another. Unless her involvement on the project was so brief that she managed not to get on any of the tapes, I do not think that Jessica was involved in Marble Hornets at all. I think the connection with Jessica and J could simply be that they are both affected by The Operator.

On a different note, after watching Entry #7 again, I do find it odd that the girl in the back doesn't make any noise at all.

Now we know that J and Jessica were both placed in the Slendy-Inn (I'm calling it that forever now).

and they both have memory missing

kinda odd thought though-
alex and[presumably] jess both were found by slenderman, and were stalked since then

J on the other hand, has been looking into slendy

has J had any contact with slendy, except those MH tapes which he was in?
EDIT: ok, looking back, i see that he does, entry 23 is one

i wonder if he ever turns up randomly, like he did/does to alex

I kinda like the theory that Jessica was the unseen/unheard girl in Entry #7. Brian says "I thought you were talking to her," and then Alex says, presumably to her, "Don't say anything because the camera picks it up." She could've been a friend of Alex's or Brian's, maybe having attended the same college as Alex and Jay, which would explain why she thought Jay's name was familiar, and since bad stuff has apparently happened to everyone involved with Marble Hornets, it would explain how Jessica got dragged into this for season 2.

Who was the camerawoman in entry 12? The one where they apparently see SM for the first time, because they think he's just some regular dude just chillin. The voice sounds deeper than Sarah's. She says "What's he doing?" at the very end, almost before the clip cuts out. I don't remember any other females other than Jessica way later and the unidentified girl into he backseat. Could have been her maybe? She also may have been the "girl" (if you think the person in the dark tunnel in the tape with Alex and Amy was a chick) and that could explain what happened to her. She was there when SM was spotted?

I'm in the group that believes that Jessica had no previous connection the others involved with the marble hornets production and she is a victim of Slenderman's stalking via a different reason.

What Jessica represents is a more emotional, less rationale and more confused J. While Jay videotapes and collects evidence, she is alone and unsure how to handle the situation and is reaching out for help to Jay while Jay trusts nobody (yet).

I think what we are going to see is them develop a relationship where J is not 100% convinced Jessica is on the same page.

I like this idea a lot, because it makes the Operator a more complex 'character' than just a single-minded evil. We can probably assume that she's never met or heard of TTA either.

...and wouldn't it be awesome if she had no idea about the Operator being real until Jay showing her the tapes?

The problem with the theory that Jessica was part of the MH crew is that if she had been part of the production, especially the parts directly dealing with the Operator, she would have some inkling of what was going on. Maybe not full-blown knowledge, but some idea that this thing she's seeing in her dreams, and that these symptoms she's experiencing, are something that have happened before to people she knows. Considering her state of panic, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Unless, I guess, she's had the kind of Marble Hornets-related memory loss that Jay had about his time working on the production. However, HE never forgot the people he was working with, at least, and if SHE had been on the crew, even given the precedent of memory loss, she'd at least still remember where she recognized Jay from.

Also, if you consider entry 22, when Alex is making his 'everyone is gone' speech, he name drops everyone in the cast and crew of MH, and there was no Jessica. Seth, Brian, Tim, Jay, and Sarah.

hmm. True, I didn't realize that. Alex didn't seem to have ridiculous memory loss so I guess he couldn't have just "forgotten to mention" her in that speech.

Well, he does say "All I can remember at all is on the tapes now." And Jessica wasn't on any of the tapes....

Still, I guess it's unlikely that he would just forget she existed because she was never caught on camera. Perhaps he didn't say her name because she wasn't "gone".

I...idk. I just feel like we're stretching too much to say that Jessica was part of Marble Hornets. If she was, I personally would find it to be pretty poor writing. It would be like in comic books when they kill someone off and inexplicably the character comes back to life later even though they were not intended to and they have to make up a bunch of stuff about how the character survived. I really think that Troy and Joseph are better writers than that and they aren't just going to go "oh here's a character that was there originally even though there's no proof except for vague instances that we can twist around to prove it."

I also think that as far a storyline goes, it can show that The Operator is affecting more people than just the people involved in Marble Hornets and Jay and Jessica could eventually possibly try and destroy The Operator or something like that.

Word!

All the muddled evidence (and lack of the same) aside, I think it's much more interesting if Jessica is either obliquely connected to someone we've already met, or not related at all. I mean, doesn't it make the Operator scarier if he's able to creep on more than one person simultaneously?

THIS.

I personally always felt the Operator had to be able to be in more than one place at once. Eldritch evil's laugh mouthlessly at our silly "physics".
