[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 250938, member: 33"] It's interesting to hear someone defend Laurel Ellis and her storyline and even more impressively you've done it by bringing in Dave Shulton (also ghastly), Brett Lomax (not quite as ghastly as Laurel and Shulton but still very ghastly) and Charley St James (Falcon Crest's most ghastly character) as part of the defence. Your point about how the storyline reminded viewers of how wicked JR could be is a good one but the issue I have it that Laurel was such a ghastly character that I had very little sympathy for her which I know is an awful thing to say about a rape survivor. I can't help thinking how much more powerful that final scene with JR, Ellie and Clayton would have been if Laurel was a more sympathetic and likeable character but my main thought was "hallellujah, this looks like the end of this ghastly character being on the show."
