Character Development Gets the Axe
It’s not an uncommon practice for some scenes to be written, filmed, and then met with the cutting room knife. When David Lynch was creating Twin Peaks he planned to explore one relationship further.
Lynch filmed some scenes that openly explored the relationship between James Hurley, played by James Marshall, and his mother. With so many great scenes to choose from outside of that relationship, the filmed footage was replaced and the show went on. Fans sure would love to know how that relationship unfolded, especially with the knowledge that the footage may still exist somewhere in the vaults of ABC’s studios.
