Right? It's not even something he wrote.  And it could have been done anytime during Cadys run.  Like the morning after the Jack/Kate reveal.  Not in the middle of her mother's funeral. It took you completely out of the scene.

 

Agreed. Although Sonnys funeral was lame. I know there are budgets and guarantees and things but Marlenas scenes with Allie could have aired next week and Marlena could have attended the pre funeral or whatever they were doing at the Horton house. Lucas should have been there as well for his sister.

Days could've had a small funeral service at St. Luke's. Laura's death happened suddenly after all.  Or a small memorial service at the Horton home. It's strange to see a legendary Days character get a crappy death. Hopeful Dr. Rolf will bring her back. I never saw the previous Laura's. But i loved when JB's Laura walked into the courtroom. And exposed all of Kate's secrets.

It does seem like a very pointless death. With Jen gone, the fallout isnt going to be good either. I know JLB's Laura isnt everyone's favorite but I liked her. And it's a shame they killed her off with little to no fanfare much like they did with Bill.

Exactly.  JLB might not have been the original Laura, but Laura was (and is) integral to DAYS' history.  The Laura/Bill/Mickey triangle was so huge BITD, it even got a shout-out on "Sanford & Son," lol!  Even if it's still DAYS, where no one stays dead, Laura deserved a much bigger send-off than the one she's getting.

 

I am so [!@#$%^&*] done with this show.

Someone on Twitter finally posted the clip of the infamous scene of Sanford and Son when Fred perfectly explains the Mickey/Bill/Laura triangle.

That’s great haha!

 

As charismatic as Kate Mansi is, I don’t miss her at all right now. Marci Miller is going from strength to strength. Just shows how writing can stifle or liberate a performer.

You mean embarrassed  by the nod to it on Days or what happened at AMC?
Because after she left AMC she was incandescent and disgusted that she got killed off that way. She has said many times that the writer/producer team at the time hated her and wanted her death - despite having been on the show forever - be as humiliatingly pedestrian as possible.

 

 


I agree with everyone. I can live with them killing off Laura in theory but for her to be killed in such an unremarkable way to further a bad storyline and a pretty dreadful character that will be gone in 18 months does not register as the death worthy of a legendary character, recast or not.

It is reducing a core of DAYS history as a footnote in the B-level storyline of a mediocre villain. Really insulting.

I thought Cady looked embarrassed by the nod to it on days.  It really didn't fit the scene 

I can't really speak about her AMC death.  I am not a huge Dixie fan, but it was insulting.  I can't say I was much of an AMC watcher at the time.  She returned in the end, so CM probably got over much of her bad feelings about it.

Cady McClain on McT reminds me of Rosie Prinz on Irna. It's time for her to get over it. Besides, God willing, she has a greater chance of getting hired by anyone over McT.

    • Jay Hammer, Fletcher, wrote for GL as well as acting on the show.
    • Yes another recent example I forgot about. I think it is exciting that the shows are allowing them to direct. Did Allison Sweeney direct at DAYS for a bit before she went off contract? For some reason that is ringing a bell.
    • I'M SO READY for that dark theme of the forum! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS.

    • After reading your comment and thinking about Monty taking Genie Francis and her father to dinner to tell them she wanted to court a younger audience and use Laura to get them, it makes me think the story switch from Lesley to Laura was instigated by Monty. A shocking and modern storyline for the times that played to the strengths of an emotional actress like Genie. The original idea was much more traditional for the times than  going that far with Laura instead. She essentially is raped by Hamilton IIRC, which is wild to think about for back then. They certainly wouldn’t tell that story today, they don’t take risks or go to the edge like that.
    • I know that episode. I actually liked that one, but alas...
    • TeamKat.   Eva wanted to take it to Hades by walking into Kat's house with attitude and using the B word. So don't get all teary-eyed now that Kat wanna matched energy.

    • I thought the same thing outside of Sprina and early Chase/BLQ, but Sinn made me a believer. And that scene sealed it for me. I've been with them ever since.    But yeah, I do feel what a supercouple is...now...has definitely evolved and changed though. That fact, for me, was why Finn and Steffy really stood out for me because while they are their own thing...I don't at all doubt they love each other...no doubt. Making them like the old supercouple at the same time. Liam who?  IKR. 
    • While I criticize their hiring, I fully recognize that they didn't hire themselves. TPTB hired the actors and wrote for them. And no, no one would've been able to step into Bernau's shoes. Pilon at least conveys a certain Machiavellian menace . RR is just wrong for the role, but the subsequent writers all seem obsessed with pitting Alan and Phillip against each other over women. The Lewises, no matter what you think about them, only passed one woman 'round. Alan and Phillip passed around three---Blake, Beth and Olivia.    There is a moment when Van tells Alan--if we marry, don't screw me over or you'll regret it. So I wouldn't doubt that Van would've been the trigger in Phillip's takeover had Maeve stayed. Instead, Henry ends up tipping the scales, while Josh kind of gums up the works (I guess, I haven't watched all of it, I don't think most of it is up.) If they wanted a triangle, they had one--Alan/Van/Ross. With Alan and Ross' history, it practically would've written itself. Maybe our thinking is wrong...maybe Long would've put Van and Ross back together, and broke them up to set up the triangle.  I do think they were flirting with the idea of Rick/Chelsea after Johnny left. There's a point when Mindy comes back to town where Chels thinks Mindy doesn't appreciate Rick enough. I just think that it would've been too weird, having Rick fall for another one of Phillip's ex's, and Mo being her sister and his stepmother. Y'know I am all about any story that gets Van away from ****. Developing amnesia, becoming a bad lounge singer named Panessa who performs poetry in the park. ANYTHING. Did Roger and Billy ever have a conversation after Billy got out of jail? I know Roger told Vanessa he'd been paroled, but I'm not sure they truly crossed paths again. Part of that's timing, but I also think TPTB really just didn't want to bring up that past directly.
