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:
“A matchmaker after a wedding is like a fan after autumn.”
—Chinese proverb.
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
