History[]
She is a college dropout and slacker, even once getting a college professor to fall in love with her. She is a bully to her younger brother and enjoys his misery. In response, Eric often refers to her as the Devil.
Her crowning moment of villainy came in the second season. During the season, Michael Kelso and Laurie were in a secret relationship purely driven by sex. As Kelso tries to end the relationship, realizing his love for Jackie Burkhart, Laurie spots Jackie outside and asks Kelso for one last kiss. Kelso kisses her in full view of Jackie, causing their third breakup. She showed no remorse for this. During the breakup, Kelso and Laurie started dating in the open. Though before their relationship was mostly based sex, Kelso desired more. However, the relationship ended in the Valentine's day episode when Kelso sees another boy leave Laurie's bedroom. Despite his broken heat, it made him realize how he made Jackie feel and asked Jackie not to feel bad for him as he deserves a broken heart. Ihough Jackie originally wanted to enjoy his misery, she genuinely did start to feel bad for him.
Laurie reappeared in season 5 and seemingly redeems herself by telling Eric and Donna to go through with their wedding. At the end of season 5, she marries Fez so he can stay in the country, giving Red a non-fatal heart attack. In season 6, she regressed to her original self as during the "marriage" she would have affairs with many different men. After season 6 she left the show completely.
