Earlier posters mentioned the implication that Invitation to Love is 
the only TV show on in Twin Peaks, playing 24 hours a day.  This brought
to mind a famous science fiction story, "It's a *good* life" by Jerome Bixby.
(** indicates italics, by the author)

This story was adapted for the Twilight Zone movie, if anyone recalls.
It's about a telekinetic, telepathic kid who plays TV for the whole town
and rules it by threats (which come true).  No one can be unhappy, ever.

Anyway, my candidate for the kid ruling the town was Donna's younger sister,
who vanished after the pilot.  Laura was rebelling against her rule by
being unhappy or by trying to escape.

My housemate Henry suggested that Audrey Horne's retarded brother Johnny
would be a better candidate.

The weird nature of Laura's death lends support to this crazy theory.
