And the whole Coma Couple tie-in (Hayley and Comatose Mateo with his prophetic visions of bleeding phones, bleeding tattoos and seeing Brooke murder Jim Thomasen as it happened) was horrible.

There was an interview she did about 10 or so years ago on TV Guide online where she was cryptic there, too, about the Camille story. She never even bothers to say where it was she was headed with it and why it didn't work. She was there, too, just "it didn't work out," and that was it. No elaboration.

I guess she was just hot to add yet another blonde woman to the canvas. I wish someone would ask her why she's obsessed with nothing but blonde women. I swear she would've brought Danielle Frye back with a Mary J. Blige blonde weave if she could've gotten away with it.

HAHA! It is odd--was it one of the stories she sold ABC on when they hired her back? Were they still wanting some DAYS type supernatural intrigue elements? Was that the same story where Junior or someone was put in a cage? I think it's almost as much of a muddle in my head as dreaded Proteus is.

The ending of the story was Hayley and Junior held prisoner, because Lee Hawkins wanted to make Adam pay for Camille's death.

That was also Marian in the crypt, which was very good work from Jennifer Bassey.

I forgot about Marian in the crypt--I admit I kinda enjoyed that (though it did remind me of Erica's wonderful bits locked in the crypt in Budapest for some reason) as sick as it was...

LMAO! Exactly! Taking the time to curl her hair behind her ear after every tweak of the wrench.

I guess that was method acting...

I remember the interview she did where she talked about being Katharine Hepburn's niece. In that 97-99 period a number of the cast members seemed to have a lot more interesting lives offcamera than they had on AMC.
