Jemima Rooper was known for her unique and controversial character on the supernatural series Hex. She portrayed Thelma Bates and was noted for being a lesbian ghost who was in love with her roommate Cassie Hughes (Christina Cole). Her death was the sacrifice instrumental in restoring the power of the villainous fallen angel Azazeal (Michael Fassbender). As a ghost, from episode two onward, she was unseen by most characters and helped Cassie to spy on Azazeal, reaching places where Cassie couldn't enter. She also helped Ella (Laura Pyper) in her battle against demons. Moreover, she had the ability to enter the dreams of others and retained complete control of manipulating objects. Until now, her final fate on the show remains unclear as the series ended unfinished.

Christina Cole was best known as Cassandra “Cassie” Hughes on the horror series Hex. As the one of the lead stars, she portrayed an attractive but withdrawn young woman with hidden telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities. A descendant of the Medenham Witches, she struggled to control her growing powers and strived to interpret startling visions and dreams. Despite her abilities, she failed to resist the villainous fallen angel, Azazeal (Michael Fassbender), which resulted in a sexual encounter and the birth of a child named Malachi who must be killed in order to prevent other ghosts from entering the world. She attempted to take his life, along with her ghost roommate Thelma and the heroine witch Ella (Laura Pyper), but unfortunately failed at the cost of her life. In the coming months, the 25-year-old actress will be featured in a string of movies slated for release in 2008.
