Fan Reaction
The character of Lauren Reed received quite a bit of animosity from fans of the show, according to series creator J.J. Abrams, in part because she disrupted the romance between Sydney and Vaughn. However, Abrams indicated that the revelation of Lauren being a turncoat was planned from the beginning and was not because of fan response.
Since Lauren died "off screen" there were rumors during the fourth season that the character would return, but these rumors were put to rest when Lauren's corpse was shown in an episode. (However, the Season 4 "gag reel", included in the DVD release of that season, includes a piece of joking footage in which Melissa George as Lauren makes a surprise appearance during a scene, before George breaks character and begins to laugh.)

Famous quotes containing the words fan and/or reaction:
“Already nature is serving all those uses which science slowly derives on a much higher and grander scale to him that will be served by her. When the sunshine falls on the path of the poet, he enjoys all those pure benefits and pleasures which the arts slowly and partially realize from age to age. The winds which fan his cheek waft him the sum of that profit and happiness which their lagging inventions supply.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
