Reception
Laura's departure was listed as one of EastEnders' best exits by Virgin Media. An editor of the Daily Mirror called Laura Beale a "loser." Another Daily Mirror editor called her "dreary;" even her own portrayer, Hannah Waterman, said, "EastEnders has been a fantastic learning curve but I can't play that character any more." Julie MacCaskill of the Daily Record said that Ian and Laura are the "most miserable married couple in Albert Square".

“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
