I seem to recall Sheryl Lee (Laura-Madeleine) saying on Donahue last year that
 she had originally been hired only to be Laura's dead body and to appear in a
couple of still photos (i.e., Laura's homecoming-queen photo).  Apparently
 Lynch took a liking to her and THEN created the character of Madeleine for
 her in addition to putting her in Wild at Heart.  If the character of Maddy
 was created well into the season, as Lee seems to have said, then the Laura-
 is-Madeleine theory would appear to be kind of blown out of the water. (If
Lynch didn't know he'd be hiring the same actress again, he couldn't have
planned on a double role.)  OK, I realize that there are ways around this:
     1.  They're making it up as they go along.  Either Lynch, Frost, Inc.
 didn't know who the killer was when they started (which I personally highly
 doubt) or they just liked Sheryl Lee SO much that they changed their entire
 plot line to give her a bigger role.  This too is pretty doubtful.
     2.  Sheryl was lying.  They could have planted her with things to say on
 Donahue so that TP-detectives would be misled.  I doubt this too, as what she
          said appeared to be spontaneous , but it could be just another
 exceptionally clever red herring.

Opinions?

 P.S. Can we please have LESS posting?  I mean, upwards of 100 messages a day
 is just too much.  I'm not saying hold back on theories, but respond to
  people's personal questions on e-mail, and try to avoid repeating the same
 basic gist of someone else's posting.

 Thanks,
