The Laura that showed up during Luke's exit story, the one in black and stilettos, the one firing guns and trying to kick down doors, that was all Ron Carlivati's writing.
Then he got fired. He didn't write any of Laura's material during Genie's long term contract.
Jelly never wrote that Laura, and the show never presented her. This was before Genie gained back any weight.
And, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Genie lose weight again?
