Laura Murray annoying...
We have been enjoying the show and finally got the 3rd season (from the library because Netflix has chosen to only put the first and second season on instant play!!!).
Anyhow, the first episode of season 3 starts out fine until the Bowles show up and Laura does the most pointless thing ever!
*SPOILER*
Ian Bowles is accused of stealing jewelry and in order to save her son and provide him with an alibi, his mother tells the detective that he couldn't have done it as he was getting married to Laura Murray at the time. Laura agrees to go along with the lie, even though she was going to tell Ian that she was in love with Doctor Burnley.
*END OF SPOILER*
When this scene passed the only thing that came to mind was that the writers purposely wrote Laura as the stupidest character ever. I don't know how she comes off in the books but my hope is that she isn't as ridiculous as she is depicted in the series. This is not a slight to the actress as she has to work with the material given.
Did anyone else find this as turn of events to be moronic? I mean the way the whole scene was played was one of the worst scenes ever in a television series. Perhaps she was showing a kindness but the way it was played out struck one as false melodrama of the highest order.
I hope the show doesn't find it's way downhill after this.
