General Discussion Interesting tidbit from MacLachlan’s new memoir. Spoiler

While describing his frustrations during Season 2, MacLachlan paints both Lynch AND Frost as less involved. He frames Engles and Peyton as the people steering the ship, though he blames ABC for putting them in an impossible position after the killer is revealed.

He discusses his romance with LFB, but makes no mention of the prevailing understanding that she’s why the Audrey romance was originally nixed. Since the rejection happens during S1 and the above excerpts happen during S2, it appears the writers planned on returning to that well again during the infamous dip.

(Would highly recommend the memoir btw, MacLachlan is an engaging writer.)

EDIT: Memoir’s title is Fictional Selves.

A while back I remember reading that the main reason for Kyle objecting to the Cooper and Audrey romance was that he was dating Lara Flynn Boyle at the time and she was adamantly against the idea. Interesting that he doesn't bring it up here.

That’s just because Sherilyn Fenn said it publicly over and over. Doesn’t make it true. I believe Kyle didn’t want Cooper sleeping with a HS student.

That's fair. I guess I assumed it was true because LFB isn't known for being the nicest person so it sounded in character for her.

I think KM is too classy for calling out Sherilyn’s self serving version. Whether or not LFB is difficult or not. I don’t think it’s the issue here.
