KAREN: It was bad energy. We just needed to get through it.

GRAHAM: Something was off from the beginning.

DAPHNE: During The River, Daisy spun out, she crashed into the stage and cut up her leg. Billy and I both grabbed her, pulled her around our arms and dragged her off stage.

I remember so vividly how she was fighting with me even in that moment, clawing to rip me away.

She tried to get back on stage, people were cheering for her. I walked her to the medic myself, I told Billy to hold out on stage.

She kept telling me she was fine until she cried into my arms. Daisy begged me to leave her and go back on stage, that it would look bad. I didn't care, I wasn't leaving until she was with a doctor.

Then Nicky got involved. He ripped Daisy from my arms, I tried to run after but he screamed at me. I ran back to Rod and I told them all to keep an eye out, that I had a horrible feeling.

I went back on stage, we finished the night as best we could. I didn't even let myself fall into the dream of Billy Dunne, I just kept replaying her eyes in my mind. The way she looked, I-I'd been the same.

That night Billy and I were sat in his hotel room. We were writing, talking, he knew I couldn't sit still. Rod said Daisy was okay when he checked with Nicky... I just couldn't picture it.

I made him come with me, I walked right to Daisy's room and I pounded on the door.

Nicky opened it manic, sweating, crying. He tried to close the door in my face but Billy lodged his arm in there. He shoved it open and we both ran through.

I saw Daisy on the floor of the bathroom and we both nearly blanked out. I screamed for Billy to go hold her, I went straight for the phone.

I tried to remain calm so a scene wouldn't be caused over the phone, I connected to Rod's room... The whole Dr Jacoby and toothache thing.

I grabbed a towel and swilled it in vodka and held it to her nose as Billy held her upright.

Her eyes barely started to flicker as Rod got to the room. He came with a doctor, all else I remember was her opening her eyes saying, "I love you, birdie."

They made us leave the room so they could tend to her, Billy's room was across the hall so we went and sat in there. I remember sliding down the wall crying and him meeting me down there. He held me.

Next thing I knew we'd woken up on the couch and someone was pounding on the door. For someone who'd been so ballsy over this, I freaked out that I was still in Billy's room and ran behind the next wall as he scrambled to open the door.

BILLY: It was Daisy, and she'd slammed the door shut after her.
