All聽Laura ever wanted was a happy marriage, but she was made to feel inferior and unattractive by her bullying husband, Ian. She tried hard, but their marriage was a disaster and Laura became Ian's hopeless victim.

You can't do that, Ian!
Laura Beale

Ian treated her like a domestic appliance that would cook, clean, and look after the children. Oh, the romance. Dignity was never Laura's strong suit, even in death. Sadly, there was no triumphant exit for Laura. She tripped on a child's toy and fell down the stairs.
