A question regarding heredity

Post by asmahan »

Hello WoB people.
I've been wondering if there has ever been any (real) indication as to which of Laura's parents Maddy Ferguson is related to. I've always assumed Sarah had a sister and that Maddy and Sarah's psychic abilities are passed matrilineally. I haven't read MLMT but apparently the same thing is true of Dale?

If memory serves me well, it is on Sarah's side, and I'm not sure whether scenes were written at one point or not, but there were certainly ideas to bring Sarah's sister into the show, displaying some kind of white witch aura about her.

EDIT: Also yes, in MLMT Dale and his Mother shared similar dreams, intuitive thoughts, etc.

I thought the sister-as-twin idea was one Grace Zabriskie pitched.

On page 124 of The Essential Wrapped In Plastic, Grace Zabriskie recalls her conversations with Harley Peyton and how she says wanted more background on her character. She was asking for , "...two aunts who had looked preternaturally alike, just as the cousins [Laura & Maddy] did. The two aunts would have been Sarah Palmer and her sister."

It would have been so cool to see Grace Zabriskie playing two parts during Season 2.
