I never liked Camille as a character. I feel like she was the Originals version of a Matt and no one needs a Matt. In the first season, I could tolerate her because I found the thing with her uncle and brother to be somewhat interesting. However, in the second season, she no longer had her own storyline and I feel like the writers were just trying to find somewhere to shoehorn her in because she didn't really have a place outside of being Klaus's love interest which only made me dislike the character more. This last season I was beyond excited that she finally died and I hated the fact that they had her turn into a vampire. We literally spent an entire episode following her around and heard her talking about her uncle and how being a vampire wasn't something that she wanted and having a choice and blah blah blah. Only for her to a five-second conversation with Vincent and find that as a vampire maybe she could "do some good." I feel like the perfect ending to her character would have been allowing her to stick to her morals and choose not become a vampire as her uncle hadn't wanted to be one.
Instead, she turns and becomes an utter nuisance. While I didn't care for the character of Camille as a human I hated her as a vampire. She was unbelievably smug and the way that she was coming at everyone sideways who in truth could rip out her heart without so much as a second thought had me wanting to bash her head in every time she appeared on my screen. The way she came at Hayley about Jackon, her snapping Klaus's neck, her stealing Hope's toy as a bargaining chip to get back the dark objects that I personally feel Klaus had more of a right to than she did seeing as it was his brother Kol along with Davina's ancestor and some other witch who were responsible for making the damn objects, the fact that after getting her ass handed to her and losing the very weapon that she stole and could be used to kill Klaus (which was the man she supposed loved) along with the rest of his siblings killed and didn't even have the decency to apologize after the fact and the list goes on had me celebrating like it was New Years when Camille FINALLY died.
She was a crappy human and a terrible vampire and the whole Klamille relationship was a bore to watch. They spent an two entire episodes focusing on Camille's death when Finn who was an actual Original and a member of the Mikaelson family got all of five minutes and we didn't even have a chance to see his siblings grief for his death, but of course when Camille dies they can't stop mentioning her and how much Klaus apparent cared about his therapist. Which is another thing that always got under my skin about this character because I never got what made her qualified to be a therapist to these 1000+-year-old vampires with baggage that far outweighed her credentials. Like, I don't think Camille officially graduated from whatever classes she was taking until season three and over the course of her short-lived career she had one client who it's debatable of how much she really helped and who is truly responsible for what little progress Klaus did make. And on top of that she broke like the one of the most sacred rules of her profession by getting romantically/emotionally involved with her client.
To me, the character of Camille was a hot mess and she lived and got more screen time than she was ever suppose to. Am elated that she's dead and if I had to choose between either bringing back Camille or Davina I would take Davina in a heartbeat. While I can't say I particular liked Davina either as I feel like she lasted way longer than she was suppose to giving the things she done to the Mikaelson family I would take her over Camille without hesitation.
