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".

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
