Colleen, it is sad that the Formans seemed to stop caring where their daughter went. I don't think that's in-character at all. Red would've sent the cops out to find her after her first disappearance.

[msstock87]

I think Red would have been out looking for Laurie too!

[MistyMountainHop]

He might've devoted his life to searching for her, turning That '70s Show into a police drama.

[msstock87]

Haha, that could be interesting!

[MistyMountainHop]

I'd just hope if/when Red found Laurie, they'd both have a wake-up call about her choices.

I'm glad she came back on her own in season 5.

[msstock87]

I always like to think that Laurie found a good career that she was good at and settled down and was happy.

[MistyMountainHop]

Imagine if she'd gotten her life together while away, and she told no one. Why would she isolate herself from her family?

[msstock87]

I wished we could have seen her around more.

[MistyMountainHop]

I wanted to see the real Laurie/Fez storyline in season 6. Laurie continuing to grow and change, and maybe she would've influenced Fez to quit being a perv, take responsibility for it, and make amends (okay, that would've required different writers, but still ).

[msstock87]

I always though Laurie/Fez actually had potential. It would have been nice to be able to see it play out.

With proper writing. *can't emphasize that point enough*

Laurie opening up her own hair salon. That would've been cool.

[msstock87]

Fez could have worked in that salon too!

[MistyMountainHop]

If we go with season-7 Fez, sure. I don't think he'd truly be happy doing that for his career, though.

But Kitty could get her hair done by Laurie, and she wouldn't end up looking like Harpo Marx.

[msstock87]

Yeah, that hair she did was....interesting.
