Does anyone think it was ----


------Kind of inconsiderate of Missy commiting suicide in the familys' house with two small children? Who goes to work and kills themselves?
I have not seen this in a few years; was she a live-in nanny?

reply

She was a maid as far as I can tell. She suffered with stomach pain all the time. Her death opened a reason for the mother to talk about her creepy sister Zelda.

Missy didn't kill herself in the Creed home. She did it in the cellar of her own home. You could hear the wind blowing outside which indicates that it happened at night, which of course would be the time she would be at home.

Stephen King couldn't think of a way to incorporate Judd's dying wife Norma Crandall into the movie, so instead he wrote a maid character that killed herself off as an excuse for Rachel to talk about Zelda.

Missy's character is irrelevant and could have been left out completely. She added nothing to the story.
It's all a deep end.
