That is exactly the problem, ,J. they are trying to tell violent, tragic stories about mobsters and the dysfunctional people in their lives. Laura doesn't fit that mold...nor do Patrick and Robin and other characters that the audience wants to see. My frustration is off the charts these days. I don't know who they think is watching this show during the daytime hour in which it is being broadcast. They don't want romance. They don't want family...unless it is directly related to a mob situation. Luke fits in a little better than Laura because he has a really dark side.
I think the show is done for unless they make a real commitment to changing the focus. That isn't happening as long as Mo is on the show. JMHO
