Just tie Sally to Brooke's family (make her Laura's child, or something)...and we get their mother's mothers fighting.

Lol we don't need another circa 30 year old with a teenager on this show.

Celia isn't a tutor at Bramwell because JLP is too old to play a high schooler, she's a tutor so Pete doesn't look like a f.ucking weirdo.

Frankly, I wished AMC had ignored the urge to do this quasi-gothic b.s. with Pete and Celia and instead told a story about naive, inexperienced Celia pretending to be older and more worldly in order to make "Playa Pete" Cortlandt fall for her with a less annoying version of Heather as her talk-to throughout the whole adventure. It would have been silly and cute and not at all creepy.

Celia has far too much freedom for me to buy any of this gothic crap. And I always thought gothic was supposed to more atmospheric. Her life is a little too Brady Bunch for that.

But as for why Miranda couldn't be the Erica: she can't be, because they don't need the same thing from their relationships. Erica is Erica, after all, because she has always felt unloved by her father. She has always wanted to be "special"; she even said so. Miranda, as I've said in the past, just wants to be "normal" after dealing both with Bianca and with Erica.

They don't have to have the exact same back stories or desires to behave similarly. Erica's bratty, needy, bitchy persona came from her daddy issues; Miranda's could come from her desire to be her own person and step out of the shadows of her mother and her mother's mother. Like Erica, she has a mother who will give in to nearly all of her whims, but also like Erica, she views this as self-serving on her mother's part.

Oh, great. Now I'm wishing Ann B. Davis were still alive and willing to appear on this show. tongue.png

I see where you're coming from, AMS. :)

Ughhh Laura. I will hold a grudge against the character for eternity because the writers wasted some of our precious short time with Josh Duhamel's Leo on HER and then she took my Princess Gillian's heart. May she never return.

Ann B. Davis is not dead. Have a seat!!

Say what? I thought she was! My bad!

I would love if Laura came back (and not as the mother of a teenager...), she's been gone so long and was in such a bad story before she left that she's practically a blank slate. Plus it would give Brooke something else to do other than look flustered.

Laura should be the one running the new coffeehouse and teen hangout, not Jane "No Relation to Alec" McIntyre.

I wouldn't have minded that. But I also think it's good, as others have said, to have unrelated characters on this show.

Couldn't Laura have gotten a business degree or something in the last decade and Brooke called her up to work for Chandler? Maybe her ideas would conflict with Adam's or JR's.

Regardless of how they bring her on I definitely think she'd be good for Brooke.

That's pretty good! Better yet, Laura could butt heads with Colby, a rivalry exacerbated by the fact that Adam (begrudgingly) admits Laura is more suited to take his corporation into the future than his own daughter. And JR finds favor with Laura as well, leading to an interesting triangle of sorts between him, her and Colby. Either way, a Laura/Colby rivalry at Chandler Enterprises might bring conflict and tension to Adam and Brooke's otherwise solid relationship.

Laura was the pure definition of basic bitch!

Yeah, her infatuation with Leo and hatred of Greenlee was pretty damn basic.
