AMC's best tearjerker was Brooke finding out Laura died from a drunk driver. Julia Barr nailed those scenes to perfection, making you feel for Brooke's loss and basically being there in the scenes with her as she goes through a parent's worst nightmare. My mom cried for five days straight over this story...not many soaps can pull off a tearjerker like this one.
@@romanseano Oh okay good, because I was thinking she wrote her daughter getting into an accident and died? How difficult to watch it all play out then.
That's true. Although I didn't see many of Barbara's 2007 scenes, it seemed like she wasn't the same character I remembered. Apparently, she was only brought back to annoy people and to drive more of a wedge between Jack and Erica. That's too bad because Susan Pratt is capable of doing more than that.
Laura got hit by a car and died which caused a rift in Adam and Brooke’s marriage, Adam slept with Dixie and she got pregnant with JR and Tom and Barbara broke up and briefly reunited and got married when she got pregnant with Travis daughter Molly..broke up again when Travis and Barbara concieved another kid to be a bone marrow donor to Molly..Tom eventually married Livia Frye and Brooke got pregnant and married and divorced Tad and had their son Jamie... At the end of the series Brooke and Adam became engaged again..
She was terrible. And she got worse every time she was brought back on the show. The way she tried to poison Bianca against Erica was deplorable. Even if you don’t like someone, you don’t speak ill about them in front of their children.
i think i remember seeing some of these episodes. i'm not sure, i might just think i did because both this clip and Brooke finding out were aired on specials and in flashbacks.

Julia Barr is one fine actress!
Laura is absolutely adorable.
Barbara should never have been allowed to have children. Letting a six year old cross the street by herself 🙄
At night
@@mychaeljohnson9752 Right?
They should have revealed that Barbara became an alcoholic because of her continued guilt about Laura’s death.
I was at school, so I missed the whole thing. I remember how very sad it was.
Thanks for posting;-)
All of this is easily avoidable if Barbara learns to type
Olof Olofersond: LOL!!
Laura was played by the daughter of then-headwriter (and now AMC's last headwriter) Lorraine Broderick.
When she was a baby, yes. She was later slightly SORAS'd, played by this actress we see here.

I remember this!!!! :( What Barbara did was stupid! Thanks for putting this up! :)

Oh the soaps throw in Erica and they all marrid the same men/women. Not enough characters lol.
Damn, Barbara was dumb but It Was The Drunk Drivers Fault, not Hers
Laura lost her life over a resume!!! Barbara has to be the most evil character in AMC history

What non stupid adult let's a 5 yr old walk across the street... at night...to someone's house that she doesn't know??
What was Barbara thinking?🤨
She wasnt
@@rachelreid8621 Nope!🤔🙄🤨🙆

@Cicely Paine thanks i remember watching this as a kid must have been home sick from school or summertime
Who plays Laura here?
She didn't look both ways and I was hoping to hear a speedbump sound....?
Poodle Head Barbara
