Members DRW50 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm sorry to hear this. Was she a double, or one of those moments where we only see someone's hands or body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 31, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 No remember in July 96 when Nikolas first showed up, Luke went to Greece on & saw Helena hooked up to machines & tubes Heres The video <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MbmdP0MWKrs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Dimiita also played Helena in one additional flashback of Stefan's in either late 96 or early 97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ah yes, I remember her. She was the very brief Helena, pre-Constance Towers. May she RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks for the clip. I missed this at the time. She was also credited for a 1993 appearance. Is that an error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I remember this well. "Let the games begin." May she rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I wish we'd been able to see her as a stronger Helena, although I'm very happy Constance Towers got the role. It's interesting how little the character of Stefan matched what she described. SN's charisma aside, Stefan was basically written as a stupid loser.

Members SFK Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 They've gone in some interesting directions in the casting of Helena. I remember reading about Dimitra and Constance both in the SOD comings/goings and being surprised. They went very ethnic with Dimitra, and I was struggling to picture Clarissa/Audrey as Helena, but damn if she didn't pull it off masterfully.
