Laura Gets Hit By A Car

Barbara Montgomery is tired of looking after boyfriend Tom's little girl, Laura... so she sends her out to play with a friend. She never makes it --- she gets in the path of a drunk driver.

AMC's best tearjerker was Brooke finding out Laura died from a drunk driver. Julia Barr nailed those scenes to perfection, making you feel for Brooke's loss and basically being there in the scenes with her as she goes through a parent's worst nightmare. My mom cried for five days straight over this story...not many soaps can pull off a tearjerker like this one.

wow, that is really hard to watch

Are you serious Barbara? Worrying about a GD resume over a child? Did Brooke lay it into Barbara? Look at how she has that look of "YES! I got that brat out of the house!" before the car hit her. I am SOOOOO glad she is not on the show anymore.

She didn't look both ways and I was hoping to hear a speedbump sound....?

Laura was played by the daughter of then-headwriter (and now AMC's last headwriter) Lorraine Broderick.

I was 6 (around the same age as Laura) when this happened. I remember watching this with my mom. I went to school for half a day (until around 11:30am). At noon my mom and I watched this. I was so scared because she was a kid like I was. I remember thinking how could an adult (Barbara) be so stupid and let a kid cross the street by herself at night!

WTF did she let a small child cross the street by herself; especially if it was getting dark? All of her business savvy and education and she was a total frigging MORON. WOW. . .

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHA

she died

[Tinkerbeltkm]

I never liked Barbara, because she's the slut who were trying to break up Jack and Erica. I never knew that she was responsible for Laura's death. She the one who try to judge Erica. Even if I don't have kids, I know better then to let a child cross the street on it's own. I really, wish when she came back Erica throw it at her. How can she even live with herself?

@sonyab1974 Yes Barbara's irresponsibility sent Laura to her death(okay ostensibly she hadn't driven the car but still) Barbara may not have been a mother yet but still come on! And how Tom could marry the woman who had allowed that too happen. What cow patty!(Tom was not always the smartest man and he did have a temper)
