Daisy (Témoin muet)

In Témoin muet, the French adaptation of Agatha Christie's Dumb Witness for the TV series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie, Daisy is the nearest parallel character of the maid Ellen from the original story although she plays a different role in the plot. Daisy is portrayed by Alexie Ribes.

Like Ellen from the original, she stays on in the residence of Émilie Longuet, the Emily Arundell parallel, after Émilie dies, continuing as a maid, in this case to the rest of Émilie's family, who all stay on and also to Geneviève Ranson, the Wilhelmina Lawson parallel.

However, she then has a larger role in this adaptation. She takes part in a seance conducted by Alexina Laurence (the parallel of the Tripps) together with Geneviève. During the seance, Daisy seems to have a communication with the dead Émilie says that she was murdered. Alexina presses her to say more about what Émilie told her but Daisy is too frightened and runs away.

Later, she is murdered by Émilie's killer before she could give away anything. The dog "Max" is the only witness.

When Alice Avril comes to the house, she hears singing. Geneviève tells her this is a song which Daisy always sang. Following the sounds, Alice discovers Daisy's body in a wardrobe.
