Brief Character History
Marcie Walsh made herself known to Llanview society in 2003. A good natured girl without a whole lot of friends, Marcie allowed herself to be talked into changing sonagram results for her new friend Jen Rappaport. At about the same time, Marcie began an unlikely friendship with Al Holden, a college student who was taking drugs in order to keep up with his studies. With Marcie's help, Al was able to kick his drug habit and the pair fell in love. Tragically, just as their relationship with blossoming, Marcie was attacked after participating in a peace protest and dumped in a dumpster. Although Al rescued her, he caught a disease and became deathly ill. Although, his mother was able to donate part of her liver, Al's liver was way too damaged from his previous drug use and he died.
Al's love for Marcie was so strong that not even death could stop him. Appearing to Marcie in visions, Al saw his chance to be with her in Marcie's new acquaintance, Michael McBain, a hardened, bitter young doctor who had lost his soul. When Michael died with Marcie present. Al's soul entered his body. However, there was a catch--Marcie believed him to be Michael. That same day, Al's deceased stepmother, Luna, told Al that he only had until Valentine's Day to make Marcie to recognize him. As the months went on, Al got closer to his goal, but then learned that he would lose his memories if he succeeded in getting Marcie to fall in love with Michael. On Valentine's Day, Marcie finally realized the truth when she saw Al in Michael's eyes. Al then told Marcie that although his spirit had to go to heaven, Michael would have his soul. With Al gone, Michael found himself in full control of his body, although his memories of courting Marcie were intact.
With Michael's support, Marcie began writing a novel, The Killing Club, based on a series of murders in a high school. When Michael, who was investigating Dr. Long on suspicion of wrong-doing, broke his leg to cover his tracks, Marcie decided to take over for him, and learned Long was selling organs on the blackmarket. Long soon figured out what she and Michael were doing, and confronted the duo on a rooftop. Marcie nearly went over, but Michael saved her and Long was arrested. Unfortunately, Marcie had spent so much time on her book and the investigation into Dr. Long that she had neglected her studies, and she nearly lost her scholarship but Viki chose her and several other students to rebuild the community center. During her time in the Love House, Marcie took an active role in defending Mark Solomon, a fellow resident who admitted his homosexuality. It turned out that Marcie's brother, Eric, was gay, and she had spent much of her life defending him, especially from their less-than-understanding father.
Marcie and Michael began moving apart for each other as Michael spent more time on his medical career and Marcie concentrated on her novel. Her agent, Hayes Barber, pushed her to 'change her image' -- in particular, to lose weight. At Hayes insistence, Marcie was even considering liposuction, despite Michael's efforts to talk her out of it. Michael and Marcie were finally over with, but the two couldn't stop caring about each other. When Marcie saw Michael in an embrace with a nurse from the hospital (she kissed him), she ran out into the street, and was hit by an insane Margaret Cochran, who had Blair locked in the trunk. With Michael's help she was able to recover enough to get to the publishing party for her book, but the two still did not get back together. When Hudson Prescott and Julie Tanaka were found murdered, similar to the murders in her book, Marcie was horrified to think that she may be responsible, and donated the proceeds from her book to a fund in their names.
