"Graham" is a bastardization of "Graeme", because the proper noun "Graeme" is indecipherable to American citizens.

'''Graeme''' is a surname meaning grey house, grey armour and well health. It is the name of a famous family in Scotland, [[Clan Graeme]]. (The 'e' is often silent, giving a pronunciation like 'grayum' or 'gram'.)

'''Francine "Francie" Calfo''', played by [[Merrin Dungey]], was [[Sydney Bristow]]'s close friend on the [[television series]], ''[[Alias (television)|Alias]]''.

The original spelling, which has fallen into disuse outside Scotland and Australia, is Graham.

==Biography==

{{spoiler}}

Francie was the best friend of Sydney Bristow, with the two being roommates for some time. During the early parts of the show, Sydney was tormented by having to keep her espionage lifestyle hidden from her closest friends, especially Francie. Francie would act as an occasional sounding board and confidante for some of Sydney's personal issues.

== People ==

Francie eventually decided to open a restaurant and then became romantically involved with her friend, [[Will Tippin]]. However, midway through the second season, on orders from [[Arvin Sloane|Sloane]] and [[Julian Sark|Sark]], Francie was killed and replaced by a [[Project Helix|genetic doppelganger]], Allison Doren, in an effort to get close to Sydney. Prior to the discovery of her name, this fake was unofficially named "Freplica" by fans of the series. Allison, who was Sark's lover, maintained Francie's relationship with Will. At the end of the second season, Will and Sydney both begin to suspect that Allison is a fake. Allison appears to kill Will (though it would later be revealed that he survived the attack), and then battles Sydney in vicious hand-to-hand combat before Sydney shoots her three times, apparently killing her. She later turns up alive in the third season, only to be killed — apparently for real this time — by Will.
