YES!!! THOSE EXACT WORDS!!! The dialogue. The direction. But when Laura said that and yes, MaryBeth's reaction...I get chills just thinking about it. And you just make me want to rewatch those scenes all over again. The layers to it all really fascinated me then. And have when I've seen the clip and rewatched it. And it was nice when I was young to see Laura be a little bit edgy with Katherine vs playing nicer when Stefan was around. I remember seeing an article saying she was coming back and that the ball would have surprises so when GF came into frame...just soooo good. Katherine's return of course was also a shocker...and a Friday cliffhanger with great music from what I remember.
Well I can see why Guza didn't want to let them go. I had never seen Stephen Nickels as Patch until after the fact. For me, he was Stefan. A goateed attractive dark tortured soul of a man who was cunning, but still had this soft spots to his personality. His way with words. His intelligence. The depth in his eyes. The sense of an enigma. I wouldn't have let him go, either. A case of stalling a story that I don't mind. But I'm bias clearly. lol. Tyler was just as great as Nikolas...which is why like you said that he should be there to be a constant reminder to Luke and Laura. Helena...well...who doesn't like a diva? lol. And they were so dangerous back then and like I mentioned...gothic with a feel of tragedy to them. I just ate that up.
