As hard as it may be for some to imagine, I had about a ten year period during the late '70s/early '80s where I'd packed away all my DS stuff and had put DS completely behind me. I thought I'd probably never be into DS again and figured it would simply be a fond memory of my past. But that changed not too long after I discovered in '85 that DS was running in syndication on a channel in my area. At first I just peeked in on days off from work to see what was going on - but before I knew it I was hooked all over again. (Who couldn't be when the eps I happened upon were Barnabas explaining to Vicki and Carolyn about Josette's suicide and Julia discovering Barn in his coffin?!) And I haven't looked back since. That's not to say I watch the show all the time - I don't - I probably haven't watched a full ep much less a full stretch of eps since I put together the 40th Anniversary slideshow back in '05/'06. And while I own the DVDs, there are many where I haven't even watched the extras, much less the eps. But obviously I still remain very active with DS through my work here on the forum. And now Midnite and I have embarked on a year long project to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the '91 Series. And, of course, the Depp/DS film is something most of us are highly anticipating. So, I've embraced the fact that DS will in all probability always be a part of my life. And to get back on topic, the Laura storyline will always be one of my favorites.
