It would have been extremely funny if Donna was recast again in The Return and I’m sad she wasn’t

My understanding is that Donna was meant to be in The Return, but Lara Flynn Boyle wasn’t interested. I admit that I have no real story-related reason for wanting to see Donna in season three, nor any reason not to bring back Moira Kelly instead. Rather, the idea of Donna being played by different people in every incarnation of Twin Peaks just tickles me. I can only imagine the sort of theorizing we would come up with if Donna were a completely different person not once, not twice, but three times.

Naturally, anyone who would play Donna in The Return would have to have brown hair, to contrast with Boyle’s red and Kelly’s black, as well as Laura’s blonde.
