He first tried to ruin Linda's (Teresa Hill) life by threatening to expose her pornography past then he had an affair with an older woman named Joan (Kim Zimmer). He was also hired by Adam (James Wilder) to be a bartender at his bar Stage 99. Eric has since become a better person and is now a loyal right hand man to Adam. Craig Bodi

She also manage to became a partner of Models, Inc. and made everybody's life hell including Carrie's (Carrie Anne Moss), whom she drew into prostitution. Grayson's evil deeds eventually blew up in her face when she lost custody of her son. She tried to get revenge by hiring an assassin (Mitch Pileggi) to off Adam and Monique during their wedding. Her plan backfired when her son rushed into the crowd. Trying to save him, she ended up being the one who was shot. Stephanie Smith

She failed and was arrested freeing Hillary and Carrie (Carrie Anne Moss) off all blame.
Note: A waif according to the fashion world is a young/childlike woman who is very thin and pale with barely any eyebrows who looks like she'd blow over in a strong wind. Kate Moss (model for Calvin Klein, etc.) is considered a waif. They're the antithesis of the curvy, heavily made up supermodels like Cindy Crawford.
