So i was reading some bios on char's i dont know a lot about and came across Laura's. I know most of the stuff rom the mid 90's to today, but ahve questions about things before it.

Rataher than just askr andom questions i just pasted her bio from soapcentral.com and quoted them with questions. Hoepfully yall can give me some answers.

Laura was born to Professor Gordon Gray and his former student, Dr. Lesley Williams, who believed that her baby had died at birth. In reality, Laura was raised by Jason and Barbara Vining until she was 12 years old when Lesley discovered that she was alive and living with the Vinings. Soon after Lesley found her long lost daughter, she demanded that Laura move in and live with her. As she lived with Lesley, Laura was torn between her two mothers, even calling out Barbara's name during a time of illness. She desperately missed her friends and her little sister Amy. Lesley had no choice but to return Laura to the Vinings. However, Lesley remained obsessed with her little girl. The large amount of attention that Lesley gave to Laura made Lesley's husband Cameron jealous. He even paid the Vinings a large sum of money to take Laura far away from where Lesley could ever see her. Lesley continued the search for her young daughter, helped by Rick Webber. When they found Laura, she was being dragged from a commune by her adoptive mother Barbara. Laura was not ready to go home, and was definitely not the Laura that Lesley remembered. Both Lesley and Rick dragged Laura home to Port Charles. Once home, Rick took on the task of explaining to a very confused and emotional Laura that both her adoptive mother and Lesley loved her.

Okay, so was Lesley Williams a main character and this was like a made up back story? Did all of this happen on screen? Was there time between Lesley first finding her and then finding her in the cult thing? Did lesley & Rick have a history?

Laura moved in with her biological mother and her stepfather Rick. In 1979, a young and slightly extravagant Laura married, with her parents' permission the young law student Scotty Baldwin. Laura's extravagance led her spend a large sum of money on law books for Scotty. To repay this debt, Laura asked newcomer Luke Spencer for a job at the Campus Disco. Luke quickly fell in love with Laura. One night, he asked Laura to dance in the empty disco. His emotions running high over the belief that he was going to be killed trying to assassinate Mitch Williams, he poured out his feelings of love for her. He fast lost control of what he was doing and ended up raping Laura on the floor of the disco. Laura was found later in the park and taken to the hospital, but refused to identify her rapist. Luke knew what he had done, and was completely horrified by his actions. But Laura somehow forgave him in a letter she wrote to him, which Scotty found. Infuriated at Luke, he punched him out right before Luke was to marry Frank Smith's daughter Jennifer. Luke tumbled off the yacht into the water and Laura had to pull him out.

The two then ran off on the adventure of the Left-Handed Boy. During this time on the run, Luke and Laura danced in a locked department store, made friends with Whit and Agnes Whitaker and fell in love. After being confronted by reporters upon her return, Laura still claimed to be Scotty's wife, and broke Luke's heart. The two parted ways, but not for long. They both went to work for ELQ. As Laura searched for Scotty, who'd run off, and her independence as a woman, she continually ran into Luke. The two drove each other crazy, finally realizing that they couldn't live without each other.

It was at ELQ that the adventure of the Ice Princess began. Luke's search for the Ice Princess quickly turned into a race to stop the Cassadine family from freezing the world. Along with their friend Robert Scorpio, Luke and Laura managed to land on the island where Mikkos Cassadine's weather machine was held. When they arrived in the lab, he commanded that they surrender or he'd freeze the entire world starting with Port Charles! In the last few seconds of the deep freeze countdown, Luke was able to crack the machine with the password "Ice Princess" and the city of Port Charles was saved. When they returned from Ice Princess Island, Laura filed for divorce from Scotty so that she and Luke could plan their own wedding. Her divorce was declared final just 2 days before the wedding; Laura was finally free to get married. The entire town of Port Charles along with friends from the town of Beechers Corners threw a grand wedding in honor of the two people who saved their town from being frozen.

I got all that, no questions. But if anyone has anything to add go for it.

Soon after Luke and Laura's wedding, Tiffany Hill encouraged Laura to take on the modeling job of Ms. Star Eyes, a job that took her away from Port Charles to New York City quite often. While on one of her trips home, Laura was kidnapped by David Grey and presumed dead. But in actuality, she was held captive by the Cassadines. Laura was told Luke was dead and was forced to marry Mikkos' son Stavros. She also had an affair with Stavros' brother Stefan and conceived a child, Nikolas. Stavros' evil mother Helena hated Laura. She left a Port Charles newspaper with Luke's picture on the front page where she knew that Laura would see it. Laura saw the newspaper and realizing that Luke was not dead, fled to Port Charles, escaping from Stavros, and making the choice of leaving Nikolas behind knowing that Stefan would take care of him. Afraid that Luke had moved on without her, she only wanted to see him once more. But as she walked onto the lawn of the mayor's mansion, Luke spotted her from the balcony. He screamed her name and they happily reunited. Deciding that they rather liked their privacy, Luke resigned as mayor and the pair left Port Charles for parts unknown. They wound up at Felicia's grandmother's ranch in Texas, where their son Lucky was born.

Was this on screen or duign when they char's were gone?

The trio wasn't heard from for 9 years, when they turned up in British Columbia on the run from mob boss Frank Smith. After deciding that a bomb that had exploded in their truck was meant for them, Luke and Laura made the decision to return to Port Charles. Sending Lucky ahead to meet his aunt Ruby, Luke and Laura stole a plane. When they realized that the plane was crashing, Luke and Laura jumped out and landed in a river. They were rescued by a helicopter just before their whole raft went over a waterfall. Back in Port Charles, Luke and Laura tearfully reunited with friends and family. But their entanglement with the Smith family wasn't quite over. Laura was arrested for murdering Frank's son Damian, a crime she was innocent of. She was acquitted and the real killer turned out to be her lawyer Justus Ward.

Laura gave birth to daughter Lesley Lu in 1994. In 1996, LuLlu grew sick with a strange bone marrow disease. After Lucky, Luke and Laura were proven incompatible for a bone marrow transplant, Laura was forced to seek out her long lost son Nikolas. Stefan and Nikolas came to Port Charles where Nikolas was proven a match for LuLu. With Nikolas' bone marrow transplant a success and LuLu's health returning to normal, Laura tried to have a relationship with her long lost son and even the man he called father.

Laura's relationship with Stefan was an up and down one at best. She discovered that he had been keeping her mother in a catatonic state ever since her supposed death in a car accident in 1984. Laura fled to her mother's side and brought her home to Port Charles. In 1997, Stefan threatened to reveal Nikolas' paternity to Luke, so Laura fled to Switzerland with Lesley and LuLu in tow. Laura and her daughter returned a year later when Laura began to sense that Nikolas had doubts about the true nature of her relationship with Stefan. It was not a happy homecoming, however, because Laura was quite upset when she learned that Nikolas had been shot in front of Luke's club and that Lucky had moved out after learning of the disco rape. Just as she had finally begun to move forward with Luke, she had to testify at Stefan's trial for the murder of his fiancée Katherine. Laura stated that she'd been on the parapet right before Katherine fell. This statement only added to Luke's heartache over learning Nikolas's paternity and that Laura and Stefan had been lovers when she was missing all those years ago. Luke left town and Laura stayed behind to face the demons of her past.

When Lucky was presumed dead in a fire, Laura went to see the remains of her dead son in the morgue. She broke down and Luke literally caught her in his arms as she fell to the floor. Laura blamed Sonny Corinthos and his right hand man Jason for Lucky's death. What was supposed to bring Luke and Laura together only tore them even further apart. Laura was in hysterics over the death of her son. Helena didn't help much either when she told Laura that it was her fault that Lucky was dead, and Laura suffered a nervous breakdown. She was in the hospital for a few days, before heading to recuperate at Stefan's country house.

When Katherine Bell came back from the dead, she started dating Nikolas. Laura tried to convince Nikolas that Katherine wasn't right for him but he wouldn't listen. Laura was even more furious when Katherine got pregnant and Nikolas planned to marry her. Helena left hints that Katherine wasn't really pregnant and Laura confronted Katherine. As an enraged Laura left Wyndemere, someone pushed Katherine from a parapet. Both Nikolas and Stefan believed that Laura was the culprit, and Stefan confessed to the crime to protect her. However, Stefan and Laura became suspicious that Helena had actually killed Katherine and grew quite close to each other, to the point of making love, as they gathered evidence to prove their theory. But Laura's budding romance with Stefan took an ugly turn when Luke informed her that he'd seen Stefan and his goons with a very much alive Lucky. Believing that Stefan had lied to her, she broke off her relationship with him and fully brought her attentions to bringing Lucky home to Port Charles. She teamed up with estranged hubby Luke to find him, but also had to deal with the consequences of bringing Luke's girlfriend Felicia along. Luke and Laura traveled to many places in their past as they followed the clues Helena dropped along the way. When they finally found Lucky and brought him home, Lucky was not the same boy that they had raised, and was still very angry with his parents.

They soon discovered that he'd been programmed by Helena. Luke promised Laura that they would get past Lucky's programming, and that they would have to wait until Lucky would come to them. Helena had made Lucky believe that his parents were behind the whole kidnapping, shocking both Luke and Laura. Luke promised Laura that he would undo whatever Helena did to Lucky. But just as Luke and Laura were beginning to heal as a couple, Luke was put on trial for murdering Stefan. Laura heard Felicia's testimony that she'd slept with Luke the night that Stefan had vanished. As her mascara ran down her face, she found herself with a drink in her hand, and Scotty coming up to her to take her home.

Laura moved on by obtaining Deception Cosmetics from Scotty with the funds of Sonny Corinthos. Sonny agreed to financially back Laura if his wife Carly could be co-partner. Wanting her independence once again, Laura agreed to the partnership. Carly was anything but easy to deal with, and gave Laura many headaches. Luckily, she enlisted the help of Elton Herbert, ex wedding extraordinaire as her assistant and the two got along famously. Her first choice for the company's signature model was Elizabeth Webber. But Carly wanted Gia Campbell. Determined to get her way, Carly had Gia lock Laura on the roof the night Laura was going to announce the new model.

In June 2001, Luke and Laura tearfully reminisced their past as their final set of divorce papers came in. With tears streaming down their faces, they sadly realized that they must put the past away and sign the final divorce decree. Although no longer married, Luke and Laura were never out of each other's mind. And the past was about to come back to haunt them. Stavros Cassadine came back from the dead that summer after being frozen for several years. He awoke determined to regain his family, including Laura. He constantly stalked Laura throughout the summer, even letting her see him in a mirror reflection from her front window. Laura then left Port Charles for North Carolina with Lesley and Lulu for the summer. When she returned, she learned that Luke had mysteriously disappeared. He eventually turned up suffering from an illness that caused him to cycle through time, between the year 1979 one minute and 2001 the next. Laura helped him remember the memories that they shared, while at the same time putting Scotty on hold in their relationship, and helping Stefan (who had been arrested for Chloe Morgan's death) escape lockup by faking a heart attack. When Luke collapsed, Laura pleaded with his unconscious body not to leave her because she loved him.

Just as Luke was starting to recover, Laura and Nikolas went to confront Helena in her underground lab. They ran into Stavros instead. He took Laura to a secret bedroom to reclaim her as his wife. While Stavros was explaining his good intentions to Laura, Luke appeared and declared that Stavros would never have Laura. The two fought, and Stavros knocked Luke to the ground. He grew angry at Laura's pleas to leave Luke alone. When he left Luke and Laura alone in the room, they declared their love for one another. Half of Port Charles turned up to escort Helena jail, but Stavros escaped. Luke went after him and watched him fall into a bottomless pit. Laura was taken out of Helena's lab by Scott and anxiously waited for Luke to make it out as well. Right before the lab shut down, Luke slid under the door, and was embraced by Laura stating that everyone could use a happy ending. Soon afterward, Scott asked Laura to marry him all over again, fearing that she would leave him for Luke. She pondered the question for awhile and was unhappy that Luke found out about it when LuLu blurted it out at Thanksgiving dinner. Although hurt by the idea, Luke told her to marry Scotty. But Laura ended up turning Scotty down.

Luke and Laura once again lit the spark that they always knew that they had in a dance outside Nik and Gia's engagement party. Luke was determined to win the mother of his children back, and Laura suspected that he always had something up his sleeve. At his plea, she asked her mother to take care of Lulu, and ran off with Luke once again on a love boat mission. Once she realized it was all a ploy, Laura asked her ex hubby why he did it, and he responded with "Because I want you back."

Luke asked Laura to marry him again. Laura was reluctant at first, but finally agreed to marry him when they were re-enacting the Wall of Jericho in Beechers Corners. But when she pulled the blanket down, she discovered that he had run off! Annoyed, Laura returned to Port Charles. But she didn't realize that Luke had actually been taken by Jennifer Smith, who was intent on marrying Luke. When Laura realized what had happened, she flew like a bat out of hell to Texas to rescue Luke from the shotgun wedding. Trapped in a cave, Luke and Laura examined their feelings and Laura agreed to marry Luke, should they ever get out. A beam fell on Luke, and Laura cried as she thought that he was going to die. Luckily, Roy and Felicia saved Luke and Laura in the nick of time.

Not long after they returned home and began to spread the news of their upcoming wedding, Helena escaped from jail. In hot pursuit of his favorite nemesis, Luke discovered that Helena had hid out at Wyndemere and that Nikolas gave Helena money and let her go in order to protect Gia. Laura was horrified and heart-broken when she talked to Nikolas directly about his involvement and he lied to her. When Helena was finally captured, she lied to protect Nikolas' involvement in helping her. Knowing the truth, Laura told Nik that he broke her heart. Later, she told Nik that she still loved him despite recent events and advised him to give his relationship with Lucky time to heal.

When Carly's car drove off a cliff, Luke and Laura rallied around Bobbie to comfort her. Memories of Lucky's "death" surfaced as everyone searched for Carly, causing the bond between Luke and Laura to become stronger. When it came time to plan Carly's funeral, Laura used her memories of nearly losing Lucky and her experiences in motherhood to help Bobbie prepare for burying her daughter. But to everyone's relief, Carly turned up alive. Soon after, Luke discovered that Helena had placed a double in her place in prison and he tracked her to a convent. To his amazement, Laura had also tracked her to the convent in the search for her missing engagement ring and wound up there before him in disguise. Together, they found Helena and shipped her off to a convent in the Arctic Circle.

I got all that as well. Seen most of it, so no questions. But again if you have anythign to add please do...

As Laura began to plan her wedding, she asked Felicia to help her find her old wedding dress. She couldn't believe it when she discovered that it was missing. When Luke and Laura finally found it, they discovered that time had not been kind to it. Laura also began to notice that she was missing some of her memories, including the existence of the garage attic at the Jones' house where she lived with Rick and Lesley when she was younger. Rick returned to town early for the wedding, and she shared her recent revelations with him. Soon after, a fire was set in the attic. When Laura realized her recent dreams were actually memories, Luke agreed to help Laura unravel her past. As Laura began to remember more about what happened in the garage attic, she also realized that Scott knew what had happened but wouldn't tell her. Laura eventually remembered the face of the woman involved and had Elizabeth sketch it for her. Rick seemed uncomfortable when she showed it to him and begged Laura to leave the past alone.

So Mac's house is lauras old house? I never knew that.

Lesley confirmed that the picture was of a nurse who used to work at GH. With the idenity of the nurse revealed, Luke tried tracking the nurse down but she seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth. Meanwhile, with the wedding fast approaching, Laura's grasp on reality began slipping as more and more flashbacks appeared to indicate that Rick might have killed Theresa. Things reached a climax when Laura returned to the attic on the eve of her wedding. Rick soon joined her there. As they talked Laura became more and more convinced that Rick had killed his lover in the attic. Rick denied it but he refused to tell her what happened and instead slowly approached her with a syringe. Believing Rick murdered Theresa, Laura became frantic when he tried to inject her with an unknown substance. Fearing for her life, she grabbed the first object she could find, a heavy candlestick, and hit him over the head, killing Rick. Luke arrived but it was too late to save Rick. Realizing that Laura was in deep trouble, Luke tried to get her out of the attic but Laura was not cooperative. She was covered in blood and suffering a complete psychotic breakdown. Scotty soon joined them and realizing he had no choice, he told Luke what had happened all those years ago. A teenaged Laura had surprised Rick and his lover, Theresa who were in the attic. Theresa, who was obsessed with Rick, wanted Rick to leave Lesley but he refused. Laura walked in on the heated moment and the shock of seeing her beloved stepfather in a compromising position with a volatile woman made Laura act on instinct. She grabbed a camera and hit Theresa over the head, killing her. Rick, fearing what would happen to Laura and seeing how traumatized she was by what she had done, quickly sedated her with a drug that also helped cloud recent memories. He then called Scotty to help him with the body. Rick and Scotty buried Theresa in the backyard to protect Laura from being charged and convicted of murder.

When Luke and Laura didn't show up for their wedding the next day, Lesley guessed that they had eloped. But when Lucky and Nikolas found Rick dead in the attic, they feared that Luke had killed him for some unknown reason. Even though Nikolas and Lucky tried to make it look like Rick had died in a drunk-driving accident, Scott didn't buy it and believed Luke was responsible. When Luke finally called Lucky, he didn't mention Laura, which worried the boys even more. Luke also didn't mention that Luke had taken Laura to a remote barn where he had bound and gagged Laura. He explained to her that she was tied up because she kept trying to run from him even though he was protecting her. Laura had flashbacks of Rick's death and believed Luke was actually going to hurt her. She got away and managed to call Nikolas to rescue her from Luke before Luke got her back again. He had to repeatedly remind her that Rick was dead. Finally, Laura remembered killing Theresa and that she had killed Rick because she thought he was going to hurt her. Although devastated, she expressed a wish for a small wedding when they returned to Port Charles. Luke agreed and went to call Nikolas. Laura took the opportunity to leave and return to the attic. Her memories of killing Theresa and Rick mingled with her images of marrying Luke again and she put on her wedding dress. Laura's reflection in the mirror looked beautiful, but when Luke arrived, she turned and revealed her true disheveled appearance. Luke realized that Laura was losing her grip on reality, but played along with her wedding fantasy and shared touching vows with her. Laura grew hysterical again and as Luke was calming her, Scott and Mac showed up. Luke was arrested for Rick's murder and Laura was taken for psychiatric evaluation.

At the hospital, Scott questioned Laura and he secretly taped her confessing to killing Rick. Luke proclaimed his innocence at first, but when Scott played him the tape of Laura's confession, Luke changed to proclaiming his guilt in Rick's murder. When Alexis wanted to mount a strong defense for Laura, Luke informed her that Laura wasn't going to spend the rest of her life in a rubber room and fired Alexis. Laura's mental state continued to deteriorate as she had visions of herself when she was younger. The younger Laura warned her not to trust anyone. Luke managed to bargain a last visit with Laura. He tried to convince her that he would help get her out, but she called him a bad man who had hurt her and freaked out. The doctor suggested treatment for her in London, so Lucky and Nikolas said a tearful good-bye to their mother, who did not even recognize them. Although the doctor didn't want Luke to see Laura again, he insisted on saying good-bye to her. On September 6, 2002, an orderly wheeled Laura out of her room as Luke tearfully told her, "good-bye, my angel, good-bye." Luke tried to visit her a few times since she was committed under the belief that only he could save her. But his visits seemed to only worsen her condition. Nikolas gained control of Laura's medical care from Lucky and hid Laura from Luke to protect her. Eventually, Nik and Luke made peace regarding Laura. Nik had Laura moved to Shadybrook and gave Luke full access to Laura.

again, i seen all that so no questions.

Lesley arrived on GH in 73.

Denise Alexander was a big star on DAYS and ABC lured her over and the character of Lesley was written into Gh.

From what I have read,she was just imposed on the show(it was ABC's only California show) and the writers at the time(I think it was the Dobsons),had to scramble to come up with a way to fit her on the show.

The whole Laura back story was created around 75,by later writers.Was it the Pollocks?

The original Laura was played by a younger actress-Stacey Baldwin. I think that when Laura returned with the cult story it was Genie Ann Francis.

Rick and Lesley only met when he came on the show.At first,when Rick came on the show he was involved in the with Jeff and Monica.

Lesley was married to the manipulative Cameron,who went to great lengths to get Laura out of their lives.he eventually died and Lesley hooked up with Rick,thus paving the way for the Rick/Monica/lesley triangle that played out in 78/79

Here is a SOD synopsis from 76

Lesley Faulkner is now truly a rich woman. She has complete happiness and contentment, as well as dollars. She has been given back the most important thing in her world, her daughter.

Lesley is very thankful to Barbara for allowing her to see Laura once again. She tells Mrs. Vining she would like to set up a trust fund for Laura's education. Barbara graciously accepts the gift.

Up until Cameron's return (he's been away in New York on business) everything is sunshine and blue skies in Lesley's life. She's not prepared for the problem his homecoming creates. Cameron suffers an emotional cardiac arrest when he learns about Laura's return (intrusion) in their lives. He plays it cool though, for he knows he and Leslie will be leaving on their around-the-world trip soon, and that will give him a lot of time to work on his wife. Cameron tells Lesley part of their trip will include a ball to be held in her honor. The date of this gala occasion is May 5. Lesley utters: "Cam that can't be. I can't go then. That's the date of Laura's play. She's got the lead role and I told her I'd be there to see her." These words do nothing to decrease Cam's hatred and jealousy of Laura. He ponders over his next course of action.

The 5th of May, the date zooms before Lesley in large boldfaced type. What is it to be: a ball in Hong Kong or her daughter's play? Who is it to be: her husband or her daughter? How can she choose? Why should she choose? Why can't Cam see how important this play is to Laura? Why is he forcing this choice on her?

While Cam's in New York (he stormed out of the apartment in a fit of pique), Lesley has lots of time to ruminate over her situation. Lesley knows this may be the toughest decision she'll ever have to make

Following the advice given by her good friend, Terri, ("Your place is with your man"). Lesley calls her suffering husband and lets him know she has decided to go to Hong Kong with him. This is the easy part, the next step, telling Laura, is the painful side of the coin. Lesley knows it's not going to be easy letting her little girl down.

Lesley's stomach is in knots when she arrives at the Vikings'. She takes Laura aside, tenderly places her hands on her child's small shoulders, and says: "I can't attend your play. Cam scheduled a big ball in my honor in Hong Kong on that date and I wouldn't feel right making him attend the ball along." Laura's lower lip quivers as she says she understands.

A few hours later, Lesley gets a distressing phone call from Barbara. Barbara tells her that Laura dropped out of the play. The kids started teasing her when they found out Lesley wasn't going to be there. Lesley can't let that happen, she reverses her decision and tells Laura she's going to be sitting in the audience on May 5th.

To answer the easy question first, yes, Mac's house (which was also Robert & Anna's house) is also the house where Lesley, Laura, Rick and Amy Vining used to live. Rick also lived there (after Lesley's presumed death) with his next wife, Ginny, and adopted son, Mikey. It was also Tony & Tania Jones' house, and, later, Tony & Lucy's house.

Soon after Luke and Laura's wedding, Tiffany Hill encouraged Laura to take on the modeling job of Ms. Star Eyes, a job that took her away from Port Charles to New York City quite often. While on one of her trips home, Laura was kidnapped by David Grey and presumed dead. But in actuality, she was held captive by the Cassadines. Laura was told Luke was dead and was forced to marry Mikkos' son Stavros. She also had an affair with Stavros' brother Stefan and conceived a child, Nikolas. Stavros' evil mother Helena hated Laura. She left a Port Charles newspaper with Luke's picture on the front page where she knew that Laura would see it. Laura saw the newspaper and realizing that Luke was not dead, fled to Port Charles, escaping from Stavros, and making the choice of leaving Nikolas behind knowing that Stefan would take care of him. Afraid that Luke had moved on without her, she only wanted to see him once more. But as she walked onto the lawn of the mayor's mansion, Luke spotted her from the balcony. He screamed her name and they happily reunited. Deciding that they rather liked their privacy, Luke resigned as mayor and the pair left Port Charles for parts unknown. They wound up at Felicia's grandmother's ranch in Texas, where their son Lucky was born.

Okay, this was not shown in the sequence in which it's written, as parts of it were "revealed" or created years after. Laura was kidnapped and presumed dead (her boot was found in the water) and, for all intents and purposes at the time, to the viewers she was dead because nobody knew at the time if Genie would ever return. We knew David Grey, on order of the Cassadines, specifically, Helena, had done something to Laura but last we saw of them together was on the docks in the fog. Two years later when Genie returned, we were told she had been held captive on the Cassadine island and married Stavros. This was early-mid 1980s. There was never any mention of Stefan or Nikolas, those characters did not exist then. When Laura fled the Cassadines to see Luke, all we knew was that she was fleeing from Helena and Stavros. Eventually Luke & Laura left town together (when Genie and Tony both left). Then, circa 1993 I think it may have been, the characters were brought back on, and it was some time after this that Stefan and Nikolas were introduced and this was when Laura confessed to Luke that, while in captivity, 1) she had a child and 2) she had an affair with Stefan. This was shown via newly created flashbacks.

BTW, all that stuff about Rick's affair and a teenaged Laura catching him--basically all that stuff that led up to Rick's death--never happened. Total rewrite, and a rather insulting way, I thought, to kill off a formerly longtime character, especially at the hands of the stepdaughter who loved him. And a terrible way to send Laura off the deep end.
