My guess is that Doc Hayward, Eileen, and Ben have some other deep dark
secret that they REALLY don't want Donna to know about -- possibly the
real circumstances behind Eileen's paralysis.  They're letting her jump
to conclusions rather than face the real truth.

Consider the other interesting point (brought up here a few months back)
that Donna's birth certificate, which doesn't list a father, lists the
mother as Eileen HAYWARD.  Not her maiden name.  Eileen's goof, or the
producers?...

Doc's not in jail, so I guess Ben isn't dead.  Besides, Ben has to be alive
to tell the world that he saw JOSIE a couple of episodes before...

> >And........is Audrey dead (PLEASE NOOOOOO!!!!!).

Course not.  She had a contract.  :-)

Or at least a written sequel... which brings me to another point I've sat on
for a while.  There's *STILL* no real TP fan fiction that I'm aware of.
Surely there's got to be plenty of scope for sequels, especially now that
many people know what FWWM says about the continuation (or doesn't say).
There's also space for other related stories in between the television
episodes.  (What WAS Mike Nelson up to for the two TP-weeks he was out of
our sight?  And what was going on on those three days after Leland died?)
There's a whole town out there, and the 30 or so hours of TV episodes barely
scratched the surface of what could be going on.  So where are the authors?...
