Halen is the daughter of Tina Marshall, her biological father is unknown. The newborn was bought for a handsome price from the destitute Tina, who had come to Port Oak to start a new life. Halen was “adopted” by George and Cecile Montcrest Booth.

Halen was kidnapped by Tina when she was 2 years old by the new wife of MAX POWER, Barbara Power. It turned out that it was a reinvented Tina Marshall. Not wanting to involve the media, MAX POWER and George Booth agreed to have Barbara/Tina committed for a period of time and have her be hence known as Halen’s “aunt”.

Halen’s parents were very busy people, jet setting around the world, for this reason or the other. So, whenever her parents were away Halen would stay with her “aunt,” developing a mother-daughter relationship. She also became best friends with her “cousin,” Chris, helping him deal with his homosexuality.

Halen has always had a crush on her neighbour Andrew Sullivan, not realizing that her other neighbour Hamilton Morrow had a crush on her. When Andrew was sent to The Parson School, she started to notice Hamilton in a non-platonic way. When Halen discovered her real mother was Barbara/Tina all along, it was Hamilton who helped her through it and that’s when she realized that she loved him.

When Andrew Sullivan came home from The Parson School for good, Halen wanting him to be happy after learning the real reason why he got kicked out of school helped him keep his relationship with Madeira Ford, a secret from their disapproving parents; even though Madeira despised her. Helping Andrew with Madeira made Hamilton jealous, causing him to nearly be unfaithful to Halen with Tacey Baxter; also telling Tacey that it was his cancer coming back that was causing his jealously. After a comment made by Madeira, Halen realized she had been neglecting Hamilton and set off to find him, find him she did: with Tacey. After Hamilton explained what had happened, Halen took him out to her tree house, someplace no one, not even Chris had been before. Taking him there, they both comprehended finally that they couldn’t live without each other. When they tried to get down, they found out that the rope had broken and would need a ladder to get down. Halen decided that since there were blankets and pleasantries in the tree house that they should just stay the night. They stayed and made love for the first time.

After Halen and Hamilton made love, he told her that his cancer had come back; feeling helpless and wanting to be near her boyfriend, she started volunteering at the Port Oak Memorial cancer center. This is where she met fellow teen Shea Williams Sullivan, the adopted brother of her old flame Andrew Sullivan.

At the hospital, she struck up a friendship with Shea and he made her laugh again. She developed a crush on him, but felt extremely horrible because Hamilton was excruciating pain. When Shea told her that he was gay, she was terribly embarrassed, but decided to set him up with her cousin, Chris Power. After this, Halen was thinking about leaving Port Oak and Hamilton until he asked her to marry him before he died. During the brief engagement, she felt bad for excepting under false pretences, but after a discussion with Andrew she realized that she did really love Hamilton and that this was a good decision. Their parents were uncomfortable with the thought, but allowed it. Halen and Hamilton were married in a beautiful ceremony at the hospital’s chapel.

The couple’s honeymoon was cut short when Hamilton collapsed. Realizing he was on his death bed he asked his wife to pull his plug and let him die. Halen not wanting to let him go but understand he was in too much pain to go on and was slipping from her, let him go. At his funeral, Halen delivered a stirring speech about Hamilton, his life, and starting a foundation in his name devoted to funding research for unknown cancers.
