Daisy Adair is a fictional character on the Showtime comedy-drama Dead Like Me, portrayed by Laura Harris.
She died by asphyxiation and smoke inhalation in Marietta, Georgia on December 13, 1938, although she repeatedly claims to have died in a fire on the set of Gone with the Wind. Daisy was transferred from SoHo in New York City to join the group after Betty disappeared. She is an actress from the 1930s, who frequently tells stories of her alleged sexual escapades with actors and celebrities including Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Errol Flynn, Bing Crosby and Babe Ruth.
Behind her bravado, however, she is lonely, an insight most clearly revealed in an episode where her final thoughts before death were recorded as being "Why has no one ever loved me?"[1] It is hinted that she left New York under bad circumstances, possibly involving a con game with the newly dead. Her loose morals, when it comes to her job, irk Rube greatly, though he never punishes her for them.
Daisy and George first become enemies when Daisy takes over for Betty, whom George liked immensely. Diasy then forces herself into George's apartment and even kicks her out of her own bed, making George hate her. Slowly, George realizes Daisy's demeanor is just a front, and she warms to her slightly, and in response, Daisy does calms down her arrogant behavior. The two become good friends by the end of the series, especially after Mason gives them his house to stay in.
Daisy and Mason have a rocky relationship, because he is madly in love with her, yet her own insecurities, expressed through her sexuality, keep any type of loving relationship at bay. Mason goes so far to buy Daisy an engagement ring, and though she refuses the gift, she is secretly touched deeply by it, and wears the ring on a necklace for the remainder of the series. It's clear that she always has feelings for Mason, but the extent is never known.
Daisy met Ray in the episode "Death Defying", she began dating him, and in the episode "Forget Me Not" Daisy ends their relationship and Ray turns nasty, grabbing her by the throat and slamming her into the wall. Mason kills Ray in Daisy's defense. However, a Graveling emerges from Ray's body because Ray's name was not on a Post-It note, meaning that he wasn't supposed to die that night. Daisy then remarks that she has seen it happen before. The Ray Graveling hangs around Daisy and George's house, tormenting Daisy and driving her into depression and drinking. George kills said graveling in the episode "Always", and the police search for Ray, while Roxy covers for Mason and Daisy as she understands something is wrong[2][3][4][5].
