Title: If Laura Stayed
Post by: Joeytrom on December 17, 2019, 04:21:43 PM

Had Diana Millay decided to stay on DS, would they have done to Laura what they did to Barnabas by making her much less a villain and more likeable?

When Dr. Guthrie confronts her about being one of the undead, he says he can help her if she wishes.  I was wondering if there would be a Julia like storyline with Guthrie trying to cure Laura and then the show going back in time to her past to how she originally came to be a Phoenix.

I don't know if they would have gone that route, but it's certainly an interesting idea.

Part of me wishes that Laura had still been around when Roger showed up with Cassandra as his bride. Even though Laura had little use for Roger, she may have still been jealous, especially if Burke was no longer in the picture, as was the case by April of '68...

For me, I don't understand why the ending 'starred' Keith Prentiss.

I know D. Selby had appendectomy, but, not in the early part of '40/'41 PT.

I remember Gerard coming to visit.......?

It bothers me that an 'outsider' got the most facetime for the end.

Does anyone know why it was KP, in contrast to Gabriel, Barnabas (they should have had Barn be head of Collinwood at least one time), or, Johnny Karlen (that would have been cool!).
