Monica Hayward (Republic of Doyle)

Monica Hayward (Patricia Isaac) is a recurring villainess from the fourth season of Republic of Doyle. 
== Introduction ==
Monica first appeared in the season premiere, "From Dublin With Live," doing so as the new Constable for the RNC. She was replacing Leslie Bennett, who went undercover as part of a case against drug dealer Taylor Gossard.
While Monica initially held respect for Jake Doyle, a private investigator who often worked with the RNC, she was ultimately revealed to have a vendetta against both him and Leslie, believing Jake acted as though he were above the law and that Leslie was negligent and allowed Jake to run the RNC. Over the course of Monica's working with Jake, her vendetta grew more intense, leading her to use underhanded methods to discredit him and Leslie.
== Heel Turn ==
Monica's plot began in episode 4.08, "Multitasking", where she had reporter Kyla MacRury gather information on Jake and later write a defamatory article about him and Leslie, with the article exposing Jake and Leslie's romantic relationship. The end of the episode established Monica's heel turn, as she was officially revealed as the mastermind of the plan when Kyla was shown giving Monica the information on Jake and Leslie, with the scheming villainess not revealing her motive to Kyla. 
The following episode, "Retribution", consisted of Jake being kidnapped and nearly killed by a group of people hired by his nemesis Maurice Becker to steal a shipment of diamonds he was working as a security detail for. As Jake investigated his kidnappers/attempted murderers, during which time two of the kidnappers were murdered, the evil Monica used the situation as an opportunity to hastily have Jake arrested as the killer, resulting in Leslie being taken off the case due to a conflict of interest (much to Monica's pleasure). Prior to this, Leslie confronted Monica about her vendetta against Jake, to which Monica claimed she felt Jake acted like the rules didn't apply to him while chiding Leslie for (in her mind) enabling Jake's behavior, claiming that she believed Leslie was a good cop deep down.
Later on, once Jake's innocence was proven, Leslie confronted Monica about paying Kyla to write the article against her and Jake. Along with blasting Monica for betraying the force, Leslie suggested that Monica transfer out of the unit, stating that she would go to their superiors and have her sent "somewhere a whole lot worse" if she refused. Defeated, Monica went through with Leslie's demand.
