As I understand it she was added to the cast to share the second season with Dr Keel.
That's right. Steed and Keel were meant to hang about a nightclub in further episodes and get to know the jazz singer. Then Hendry left unexpectedly, so the character was sort of a hangover from season one, and the show sort of evolved beyond her before she even got up on screen. They probably used her as a stop-gap more than anything, so that they could film
something while they tried to cast Cathy. That's probably why she doesn't fit. It wasn't the same show anymore.
sounds reasonable..Venus might have ben a semi major player in the scope of the show, but as always, fate has a funny way of side tracking
people, places, and things...Did Steed have the 'eyes' for Venus ? not really...at least, I don't think so...
Hendry's departure was a blow, but the show recovered nicely, and Hendry's movie career, really never reached the heights, he thought possible..same goes for Patrick...Both Honor and Diana, had a more productive cinema career..for the most part.
